Ooh-ee-ooh-ah-ah, ting-tang-walla-walla-bing-bang...

I spoke to a teabagger, and this is what he said:

Ooh-ee-ooh-ah-ah, ting-tang-walla-walla-bing-bang.

Or the conservative equivalent of that.

Guy was obviously a plant, working in collusion with an "Independent" candidate for US House of Representatives who was also present. And vocal.

I guess conservatives can't stand their own party, and have to go center of right to be liked.

Anyways, after having my veteran status challenged (nothing new, eh, Brutus?), he went on to say that his real issue with "Cap'n Trade" (the imaginary foe of all conservatives who huff and puff and blow more CO2 into the atmosphere as they deny climate disruption), is the "$1,700 that families are going to have to pay when it passes," according to the liberal scourges of the universe, Senators Boxer and Kerry.

Um, let's affirm, answer, and redirect, now, ok?

AFFIRM: I understand your concern, Mr. I'm-A-Conservative-Consultant-Disguised-As-A-Concerned-Citizen.

ANSWER: I don't know where you're getting that data; all I know is that the nonpartisan (read: NONPARTISAN) Congressional Budget Office released data showing that over a 10 year implementation of the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act policies, the average American family would pay less than $180 for energy a year.

Yup, $15 a month.

Wait for it...

REDIRECT: So, Mr. Teabagger, what's your REAL concern about the pending legislation?

"I'll tell you what," he huffed, "I am tired of people like you coming here and telling us what to think and how to vote!"

Ah, the hypocricy.

"You've been keepin' love from me just like you were a miser,
And I'll admit I wasn't very smart.
So I went out and found myself a guy who's so much wiser
And he taught me the way to win your heart.
My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to say.
My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to do.
I know that you'll be mine when I say this to you:
Ooh-ee-ooh-ah-ah, ting-tang-walla-walla-bing-bang..."
