Cruising with the Teabaggers

[dodger501]

I can't believe it, my wife and I were surrounded by these nutbags for a week:

I saw these people but did not know they were honest-to-goodness Teabaggers. I remember the guy in the black cowboy hat well.
We were in right front of Alan Keyes in the embarkation line for the Carnival Liberty at the Port of Miami on Jan 9.
Later, after boarding, I saw him giving a talk in a closed-door session in the lounge with a quarter-filled room full of wingnuts.
They all wore their badges on their neck lanyards throughout the cruise but generally acted pretty normally.
I had my Good Rush/Bad Rush T-shirt with me and wore it a couple of times.
Some looks, no words. I love doing that stuff.

2. Weather was crappy but it was fine

They were all middle-age, older white people.
I saw one guy in one of those electric scooter thingie with an oxygen tank and could not help but think what he would do if he lost his insurance.
Or is it paid by Medicare, the program they want the government to keep their hands off of?

3. You should have asked him how he was going to afford another cruise

if he didn't have Medicare.
