the above statement, if taken to be written in english and expected to be understood in english, implies that the Tea Party is looney.

The below statement, if written in english and expected to be understood in english, has zero to do with the statement above that the tea party is looney.

The Reform Party is no longer a political force of any kind in this country (they received all of 481 votes nationally in the 2008 Presidential Election).

Ex-Pro Wrestler Jesse Ventura, who was the most prominent Reform Party candidate to get elected, called the Party, ''hopelessly dysfunctional.'' when he quit the Reform Party in 2000.

Yup, you're right as always 12Clunks, nothing looney about any of that.

most people who call the tea party names do so out of an inability to communicate
