If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times… YOU CAN’T DRINK TEA ON WHITE HOUSE GROUNDS!!!

Empty desks can’t do anymore harm than the traitors sitting at them now.

Exaclty why we should not be whining about OBama’s empty posts.
I think he’s done enough damage with his appointments already.

Allow me to clarify: I don’t mean put someone else in that office- I mean just kick the current occupants out and leave the desks empty. Empty desks can’t do anymore harm than the traitors sitting at them now.

Am I feeling the effects of reading too much Allahpundit? I just don’t like protesting. It feels too much like we’re doing nothing. Liberals protest. Liberals bleat the response to some phony leader with a megaphone. Can’t we get from protesting to something a little more active? Honestly, I’m sitting here on the sidelines waiting for someone to create a PAC or something substantial that I can donate/get involved with because clearly the Republican party is not where it’s at.

I’ll change that view when Michel Steel bans non-republicans from voting in the primaries. For now, I’m a little lost lamb, boo hoo.

They should be home in their districts, on July 4th, where they can have an up front hands on view of their constituents Outrage at their behavior. They are isolated in D.C. in a bubble with their cohorts not so much when they have to face the music back home.

Shouldn’t the march happen when congress is IN SESSION?

What you said!! I had the same feeling about the comments. I think the fact that there were numbers in the hundreds of thousands out today in different types of conditions speaking their minds (ESPECIALLY since they were average Americans of all kinds of ideologies) about what they perceive as the death of a beautiful and unique way of life is a testament to just how serious they are about the situation. WE are, I should say. I had a standing appointment today-plans to stand in intercessory prayer for this nation and the direction we take as a people from here on out. July 4th is a Saturday? I think that one I’ll be able to make. God Bless America!

I see a lot of these comments and something tells me this is planted stuff. My sister-in-law in Covington LA told me in her small town there hundreds, shoulder-to-shoulder. In New Orleans there were thousands.

This thing has a hold and doesn’t need an arbitrary line of numbers to make a success. Instead it has grabbed real people, unlike the fake protests like the ACORN bus. This will not be held down and no poor mouthing will stop it. This is built on the frustration of both Democrats and Republicans who believe their elected officials are not listening. Who knows where this will lead? Despite the best efforts of the press, with their ever-present sneer, to belittle this movement, this thing has legs and will continue.

The cops had to clear Lafayette Park too after someone threw a tea bag onto the White House grounds.
It was John Kerry. Although, later on in an interview with MSNBC he denied it saying that he threw a packet of Sanka over the fence. 10 minutes later in an interview with CNN, Kerry admitted to holding onto the packet of Sanka but instead threw Senator Byrd’s tea bag over the fence.

I heard it was Homeland Security. They’re trying to drum up support for their ‘right-wing/veterans terrorist’ alerts.

Weather was beautiful, the crowd was larger than anticipated, approx 5500 and very well behaved. Rep. Paul Ryan spoke, but the best speech of the day came from a very impassioned 17 year old girl, who really stoked the crowd.
When it was over, the clean up crews who were on standby had nothing to clean up after except the capitol police horses, who were also on standby with nothing to do.

And that dork running around screaming…. what a tool. He must be trying to get a job in the One’s administration. What a dolt!

Rep. Paul Ryan spoke, and I imagine he did rather well from the reception he recieved, but the speakers at the far ends of the area were very quiet during his speach. The best speech of the day came from a very impassioned 17 year old girl, who got the crowd truly pumped. I didn’t get her name, but there is a star in the making.

Afterwards, the crowd disbursed neatly and quietly, leaving the cleanup crews that were on standby nothing to do but clean up after the mounted police horses, which were also on standby with nothing to do. Several hundred went into the capitol building (one of the classic beauties of its genre) to drop off tea bags and short notes at the offices of their elected reps.

All in all, we showed up in force, behaved ourselves, and left on time as scheduled. Just what you would expect from law abiding ,tax paying citizens.

WHICH IS WHY I SUSPECT IT WILL HAVE NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER!!!

These arrogant pricks scheduled committee meetings for the afternoon, so that they wouldn’t be in their offices to face their constituents! They need to be made to understand that we aren’t unemployed for the most part, don’t want to keep taking time off from work to make them understand our concerns, and that if we have to come back again and again, HAPPY FACES and good manners won’t come back with us.

What the hell were they afraid Bo the dog was going to become a convert already or one of Husseins’ kids was going to defect?
