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.
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...
Why are you people worried? Why are you trying to marginalize the results. If you people claim the high ground, then look down your noses and scoff at the peasants. The guy who started this thread did so with the express purpose of downplaying the tea parties. Period.
He gave percentages and numbers as if HE some who has some right to set the bar? .03% Who cares about your 150 person turn out? How is that the pass or fail mark? You set this arbitrary number as if it has meaning.
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.
Every one no matter if they pay tax's or not are effected by tax's it is a necissary evil my child are very much impacted by the tax's I pay even if they don't contribute none the less I believe the heart of disent comes from decades of self serving civil servents that have no regaurd for there constituance what so ever and that is from both parties Ragen was a liar Obama is a liar we need rep's that will not stand for lies and rep there people not there investor's
