The Teabag Party has a choice to make, hypocrisy or dinner

The teabag party has to make a choice for their nominee for President in the very near future.

Do they choose someone who cheats on his tax returns or someone who cheats on his wife (wives?). Will they pick Romney who has more wealth than the last 7 Presidents combined with the ability to hide his money in the Cayman  Islands and other offshore accounts? Or will they pick a candidate with more wives than a buck in a deer blind? (?)

This is a difficult decision. By picking Gingrich, they run the risk of looking like a bunch of wide eyed, "do it if it feels good",  hypocrites. (too late) The party that once claimed to be the "family values" party and one that protected the "sanctity of marriage" is now on the verge of nominating someone who was porking an intern, 20 years his younger while he was married. This didn't happen once, for which the Catholic Church can forgive, but twice which makes it a habit. As Gingrich said in the 90's "If you cheat on your wife, you will cheat on America".

Or they can pick Romney who would become the first nominee with a sweater tied around his waist clearly in the race to represent the .1% of the most wealthy of the country. Lucky for Romney, the .1% have the strength of the 99% ignorance of the teabag party who will fight to protect their wealth. It is much like the chickens campaigning for Colonel Sanders.

Eitherway, the teabaggers have a choice. Neither are very good. The choice will make them look either like a bunch of hypocrites, or dinner.
