"A bull in the china shop."

I think your over estimate the so called Tea Party "movement". I think it's the cranky ten percent fringe which has always been with us.

What does one ordinarily do with rogue animals?

In the old days we just killed them. Now days we would probably shoot it with a tranquilizer dart and relocate it to a more appropriate habitat.

Perhaps, but to underestimate the so called Tea Party "movement" would be to ignore most of the Walmart customers in every community. Ask Batista about the cranky ten percent fringe.

Batista? Get serious. He fled in the face of victory of a well organized popular movement supported by a majority of Cubans.

The compare the fractious, not very popular Tea Party and its members' grievances with Obama to the Cubans ouster of Batista is just really silly. A more apt comparison would be the so called militias and their grievances with Clinton.

Maybe he was talking about Batista the professional wrestler. I understand many of his fans are Wal-Mart shoppers.

That could be. WWF? 10% fringe? Tea Party? Interchangable.

I can proudly say that I did not there a wrestler named Batista.

Here in Xalapa there are shops which nothing but wrestling masks.

Ah, yes, the cigar savoring, moderate Republican president who oversaw the travesty of Ruby Ridge and Waco.

Not that I'm a Tea Party fan but I think you may be discounting the discontent that is growing in this country. Those of us who still live here are in for a bit of social and economic readjustment in case you hadn't noticed.

So I would be incapable to know of realizing the "social and economic readjustment" occurring in the USA because I don't presently live there, eh? You're just getting sillier.

"In case you hadn't noticed" the entire world has been effected by the global economic meltdown. Including Mexico, which relies greatly on USA consumption of its products.

I realize you think I underestimate "the discontent" in the USA, just as you realize I think your over estimating the discontent. That's what this discussion has been about. Give me a break.

We'll see as time passes.
