Tea party!

laugh laugh laugh. it's all good.

That was just dallas. There were reports of nearly 1,000 in every city around Dallas as well. I didn't realize that EVERY city around DFW was having their own. Any idea how many cities are around Dallas?
It wouldn't surprise me if we had near a million just around the DFW area altogether.

By your accounting there would have to be a thousand cities around Dallas to get to your million. I'm guessing you're full of shit.

I think the criticism of the Tea Parties are mostly off-base.

The Tea Parties are not just about taxes. If anything, they're about bailouts and debt first and foremost. Without bailouts, this would be the same old argument about taxes that Americans have had forever.

Bailouts have brought the issue of Corporate Welfare to the national forefront because we're no longer talking about tax breaks and "incentives" that can be put into the tax code, or generous to ridiculous government contracts. We're talking about real welfare checks from the government to big business... and this is money that the government doesn't even have.

The public has always been against TARP and the various bailouts that followed. The government has not responded to those concerns. To the point made by some writers about how we aren't facing a situation with taxation without representation: If you've got representatives who won't represent you, then you get organized and try to change it. So, people are organizing. It's not that hard to understand.

It's no different than the response when a country that was 70% against the war in Iraq couldn't get a Democratic majority in Congress to end the war.

I have to say, i haven't seen much on the news wires about these much vaunted tea parties.

You'd have thought, for such a burning issue, more people would have shown a little interest, no? To put it into perspective, consider how many tea party protesters turned out in the major US cities and compare it to, say, the 100,000 people who marched in London last Saturday to protest about violence in Sri Lanka.

I'm assuming it's fair to say that the tea parties were more 'supermarket bargain bag' rather than Earl Grey events?
 
I saw the one in Lexington, KY on the news last night. They appeared to me middle aged males and older. Very few youngins or women.
Looked about like a typical right wing talk radio crowd.
 
You won't be seeing much of the success of these tea parties from the left-wing media. Alanta alone had 20 thousand protesters.

Lots of youngin's in Winston-Salem. Very well balanced with respect to age. And a good looking crowd, too. Didn't see a single fat person.
