		<description>Look at all the Libs on the talking head shows.  If there is any doubt about Democratic Talking Points memos going out to the media, that doubt will vanish.

&quot;The tea parties are a sham and fraud but we support the disenfranchised populace attending&quot;  What a bunch of BS.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;“Where were they the last 20 years?”

Um, working you lib jerk. I’m so incredibly sick of liberals implying that conservatives and Republicans have been in some kind of lockstep with everything our “leaders” have done. 

PastorJon on April 14, 2009 at 12:12 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Absolutely right, Jon.  Two falsehoods that the left loves to perpetuate are:
1) Conservatives loved Bush no matter what (he did do a lot of things right, but controlling spending was NOT one of them)
2) we&#039;re all Republicans.

I urge everyone to attend their local tea party tomorrow, as I will (Wilmington, Delaware).

Bring a clever sign, and a video camera.  We need to document these events, since your local press probably won&#039;t.  Also, it will be useful and entertaining to record any &quot;shenanigans&quot; by the left.</description>

		<description>&quot;Where were they the last 20 years?&quot;

Um, working you lib jerk. I&#039;m so incredibly sick of liberals implying that conservatives and Republicans have been in some kind of lockstep with everything our &quot;leaders&quot; have done. We fought them on immigration amnesty, we let our voices be heard on the deficits. Heck, Congress has been in Democrat hands because many of us protested with our vote in 2006. 

This is just the first thing too big to just stay hard at work until 2010. Conservatives are coming out in force tomorrow, taking time off our real jobs you liberal jerks, because by 2010 we&#039;ll be at least $3 Trillion dollars more in debt with a dollar trashed by an out of control Fed and Democrat party, our health care in the hands of bureaucrats and our environmental policy in the hands of the UN if we don&#039;t let them hear our voices.

These smug, dismissive jerks like in this video tick me off.</description>

		<description>I think the resistance and lack of media coverage will backfire. For us to be able to point to this will be proof of media bias and left wing tactics. The media knows this and they will pull a &quot;nothing to see here that is why we didn&#039;t cover it&quot; set of stories but actually less coverage might be better. I think Cnn, MSNBC, and others are worried because it is too big to be a non-story and too big for them to cover up. They are at a rock and a hard place and I look forward to tomorrow&#039;s spin.</description>

		<description>This self righteous leftist bigot and his ilk will not accept the fact that it was Demoncrate policies of Pope Roosevelt over the last 50 years that have created our current political and economic situation. 

The lefts jealously and fear of the truth is what leads them to infiltrate the &quot;Tea Party&quot; movement.  Let&#039;s use this movement to change their thought process because they are using communistic measures to dismantle their opposition, U.S.

For the last 50 years conservatives have been trying to get the country back on track to enjoy the freedoms that our founders instilled - not the incremental brainwashing of Pope Roosevelt, that you need to be dependent on the government and will be prosecuted if you do not fall into line. This is what happens when conservatives send a leader to D.C. they are indoctrinated to enjoy the perks of power and often fall prey to the tactic.  We need to send stronger leaders to represent U.S.</description>

		<description>An article on HuffPo says Freedom Works is behing the tea parties. My belief is they started grassroots and are starting to be co-opted by others as the buzz increases. Happens to both right and left, the nuts can screw up the message.

So true.  After the February 27th rallies, my husband and organizers from other states were quite surprised to find a national group trying to take over the movement, declare themselves as being behind the tea party movement and start to delegate who would be the &quot;coordinators&quot; for each state.  These were people who didn&#039;t even attend any of the rallies, had nothing to do with organizing the original parties, yet wanted to take the credit.  Needless to say, it did not go over very well, at least in TN.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Did anyone bother to ask this libtard exactly what corporations or groups were funding the tea parties as he seems to believe is the case? Of course not, he would need to come up with an answer and there is not one. Someone needs to ask that question when these a$$clowns say the tea parties are orchestrated.

		<description>Wow, what a pompous ass! So in one 6-minute interview, this jackass says that Bush spent like a drunken sailor, that protesting this out-of-control spending is a sham and fraudulent, and that we should &quot;listen to President Obama&quot; despite his spending dwarfing Bush&#039;s.

Yeah, no contradictions there. The dude is a partisan hack.

BTW, I&#039;ll be heading to the Sugarland rally here in TX tomorrow at 6PM. There&#039;s one in downtown Houston starting at 4PM, but that&#039;s when I get off work.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;How much did the national debt grow by during Bush’s tenure?

The total for the 8 years, was less than it is growing this year.  I might add that the three biggest years were 1 year right after 9/11, and the two years after the Democrats took over congress.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;At their core, these Tea Parties are fake. If not, one would imagine they would have occured long before April 2009. How much did the national debt grow by during Bush’s tenure?

The I have a dream speech by MLK must have been a fake. If not, one would imagine it would have occured long before 1968. How much oppression of black was there during FDR&#039;s tenure?</description>

These Tea Parties are not fake.  As stated in previous posts of mine, I left the Republican Party because of the reckless spending.  After Rick Santelli&#039;s call for a tea party on CNBC, my husband asked if anyone was doing a party here in Nashville.  They said, &quot;No, why don&#039;t you do it.&quot; In 4 days he and a group of angry citizens put a tea party together in downtown and even though the weather was cold and drizzling, we had a turnout of over 600 people.  He has been working tirelessly on the one for tomorrow, again with the help of other angry citizens.  We are expecting a turnout of between 7500 and 10,000.  There are tea parties going on in over 50 of the 95 counties in TN.  These are not orchestrated by my husband or anyone else.  He has had citizens from some of the most remote areas of TN emailing him and asking what can they do to have a tea party in their county.  Yesterday my husband and some others launched a free social networking site for those who want to connect with others to figure out where we go from here.  (www.teapartynation.com).  No one called my husband and asked him to do this.  No one called all the people who are volunteering and asking how to do this in their area.  These tea parties are happening because Americans are fed up with Washington, an morbidly obese government and politicans who care nothing about their constituents and the Constitution they were sworn to uphold.  So unless you want to claim that Rick Santelli is some Republican guru who hypnotized the masses into starting these protests, talk to the people who have organized them and find out their story.</description>

		<description>I will attend the one in downtown So. Bend on Wednesday.  Don&#039;t think I&#039;ll bring a sign.  Just want to be there in solidarity and, as a recent &quot;downsize&quot; in this fabulous economy, what else have I got to do between job searches.</description>

		<description>He77....  I had a birkenstock wearing, hairy legged hippie chick wearing an Earth Day 2009 t-shirt ask me this afternoon if I would be at the local Tea-party.  

She is organizing her hippie and artsy friends to attend and they aren&#039;t going there trying to disrupt the mean ol&#039; right wingers like some of our resident leftist idiots are...  They are going because they too see the idiocy that is on both sides of the aisle in Congress, and the cancer that is metastasizing in the Executive Branch.</description>
