i have yet see or hear a member of the tea party refer to themselves as a "tea -bagger", that is an OBVIOUS term that people like you use to mock the movement. i thought you were smarter than that, or you are playing dumb. the chris matthews, keith olbermanns , they use it as a derisive term. do not insult my intelligence by expecting me to believe that bull****. and , assuming people in that movement are just a bunch of gun-toting hillbillies is nonsense. you should change the channel from msnbc once in a while! to answer your question, IT MUST BE THE NORTHEAST!, that is where the uninformed, insulated types reside.
