It Is Complete

After reading through the summary of this weekend's Southern Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans, there is no denying the Tea Bagger faction is totally Republican.  The movement was mentioned by nearly every speaker and encouraged by prostitute frequenter Sen. David Vitter that Republicans not allow it to turn into a third party.  Own your crazy.

*Update:

I love this mention on CNN.com about how there's a "place" in the GOP for the tea baggers.

Republican leaders, who in the past have offered the Tea Party a one-armed embraced, appeared more welcoming of the anti-Washington movement.

Tea Party activists received nods from many of the big-name speakers, including Palin, Barbour and Texas Gov. Rick Perry.

Uuuuuhhhhh, no.  They've always been Republican.  They vote Republican.  They cheer for Republicans.  They show up at their conferences and get catered to by Republican officials.  There's no hypothetical "place" for tea baggers in the GOP.  They are already there.  They never left.  They are Republican.  But the very "liberal media" just can't seem to make the connection.
