No offence, Peg...

Al: I'm never voting again. Like marriage, no matter who you choose it'll turn out bad. Unless you['re] rich. They get everything they want. Well, fine. Let them have their birds, and their clean air... even their new presidents. But we cared about beer and they took it away from us. Yeah, sure, what do they care if a man who sells shoes, or fixes cars, or totes that barge, or spears that doody in the park has to use his whole paycheck to buy one beer? What do they care? They're at their outdoor restaurants eating their little pizzas and drinking some fine wine in the no-smoking section with their sexy, skinny second wives while we're breeding with peasant stock. No offence, Peg. One thing I know, we're never going to win through the system. Voting has never been the American way. We didn't get away from that pansy country England by voting. We did it by throwing their stinking tea in our American harbor. And why? Because Americans don't like tea. We like coffee. And Americans don't like wine. We like beer. Ice cold. Ice cold, best in a bottle, but find in any way you can get it, belching, burping, wake-up-in-a-pool-of-it beer. So let's show them how a man votes. Let's get blitzed and take it to the streets. Let's strike a blow anywhere they dine alfresco, anywhere they eat Brie cheese, and any way they wear their pants up high around their waist in the European way. The only thing Americans understand is mindless Tom and Jerry cartoon violence. So, let's go kick some elite butt. Give me beer, or give me death!


Al: Or both! Now... let's pillage!

the tea party revival was started by al bundy...

Volunteer #1: [at a voting booth] Is this your first time?

Bud: Are you kidding? Why does everyone look at me and just assume I'm a virgin? 'Cause I'm not. Could a virgin tell you the name and the last book read by every Playboy centerfold in the last ten years? I've been there and back, baby. I know the female body like I know my own hand.

...

Al: [drunk] Family, did you know that, along with an election coming up, there's something big going on. They're trying to sneak by a two cent beer tax. Two cents! And what really gets to me is that the money that they're gonna raise, is gonna go for education! Well, I'll be damned if I'm paying two cents for some moron to learn how to read! I mean, where's it gonna end? I mean, pretty soon they'll be taxing... income!
Marcy: Well, Al, it's nice to see that you care about something besides wondering who's back is hairier, yours or your dogs'.
Al: Or, who's chest is hairier, mine or yours?

Gus: this is a classic "Married with Children". Al and family (circa 1983 — episode made in 1992 — season 7 episode 7) discuss politics and reminisce fondly about the revolution of the TEA PARTY with vigor and ignorance — as do the tea-partyists of today... The newfangle tea-partyists though have climbed a few echelons of social standing and are once removed up from the shoe salesman — they own the shoe-store supplied by Chinese made galoshes. They poke hard at those above and those below with the tenacity of sociopath and the faith of evangelical extremists. They still don't understand how a society (democracy) functions, apart from the selfish stupidy that underpins their mediocre success based on counting beans at the end of every day.

the australian tea party is driving trucks...

Convoys of protesting truck drivers are arriving in Canberra today to demand that the Government calls a new federal election.

The National Road Freighters Association (NRFA), which organised the demonstration, is calling for both houses of Parliament to be dissolved, and a federal election to be called.

The NRFA says the Government has lost its support because of the carbon tax and the ban on live cattle exports.

The Association's president, Mick Pattel, says the Government is being held to ransom by the Greens, and it has lost the support of the business community.

"Every decision that they make seems to be an absolute blunder. I think the Government has been compromised by the fact that it's not governing in its own right," he said.

"We're just hoping that the Government might turn around and say, 'well, there's such a backlash from the community and from the business community that we'll go back to the polls to get a mandate.'"

Gus: A bunch of idiots driving trucks who have no idea of democracy. So far whatever the Liberal and the pill-poppin'-trucking Liberal-foot-on-the-floor informal party think, the Labor party has done a good job in the face of EXTRAORDINARY worldwide circumstances.
