Sorry about the URGENT CAPS!!, but this simple, 6-minute video (which uses a cute service called XtraNormal that adds simple text-to-speech audio and animation to whatever dialogue you type up) crystalizes the entire Tea Party "logic" more perfectly than anything I've seen, heard or read to date.
Trust me--watch the whole thing and I guarantee you'll be Tweeting, Facebooking, Digging, Farking and otherwise spreading the link to everyone you know:
I know this barely qualifies as a diary, but PLEASE rec this up; it needs to go viral as much as the "Everyone Loses" video.
