Where were the "Tea Parties" when Bush added 5 TRILLION to the National Debt?

Guess those TRILLIONS didn't matter enough to hold protests while Bush was still in office ?

The only trillions that seem to matter is money being spent while Obama is in charge!

Money that Obama needs to spend to FIX the mess left to him by Bush !!!

I will admit there where about 1000 to 1500 in Pioneer Square in Portland. But, 98% of them are not effected by these "taxes" that Obama was talking about. No credibility on this movement whatsoever, it was almost more like a Nazi rally, then an actual protest.
The speakers, though, showed a some class, by not even mentioning Obama. 1/2 the crowd showed very little to none though.

LOL...it is quite telling that to the left protesting something that might not be directly affecting you is pointless...

Leftists are driven only by self interest.

Default Sorry Teabaggers: Majority Of Americans Support Expanded Government Role In Economy

Not looking too good for you RW'ers... Speaking of teabagging, what happened to Fox News' all day coverage of the "hundreds of thousands" of people all over America protesting the government???? Because it never happened like most RW'ers, they are delusional...

Americans OK With Short-Term Government Growth

It's not arbitrary - and it does have some meaning.

If the teabaggers couldn't draw more people to their little tax protest than I could draw to an anti-Bush-War rally in the reddest part of the reddest state (nearly), then that says something about how successful they are.

You can downplay that if you want. I suppose you will want to, actually. But I think it's a valid boundary line to consider.
