See the date? Before Obama was even running for office..
No mention of the Tea Party back then. Just a protest.
You're gonna tell me it makes no difference, but I try to call things by their actual names. Don't say it's the Tea Party if it isn't.
You can't put names on thing in retrospect...sorry. People have been protesting govt policies since forever, does that mean everyone is a Tea Partier, even people from the last centuries?
Excellent! They won't respond because pretending to care about fiscal responsibility is a front for the deep hurt and resentment they struggle with that this country was progressive enough to elect a brilliant and qualified black person to be the POTUS. Bush was horrible for this country, yet they remained silent. Absolutely pathetic and obvious what their agenda is.
You jumped in on page 3 of the issue, while claiming no ones responded...
But I do note you didnt lose the chance to show the racism some of you guys have again though.. Seriously, doesnt that argument get old after its been proven wrong everytime? I'd be embarassed to have that as the only thing I'm able to say..
I'm not gonna look it up for you. I googled the Tea Party and there is no such mention of it before 2009. If there were similar protests, it was under a different group so it wasn't the Tea Party.
The Tea Party started in early 2009. I did a little research like you said, and found the facts. Sorry.
I wasn't asking you to look up anything for me. I've already seen it. Why would I need you to look it up for me.
The Tea Party was started by Ron Paul supporters in early 2007. In response to the War on Terror and out of control fedral spending. CNN did stories on it (before FOX).
In 2007 George Bush was president. Obama was not a candidate for president. Hillary Clinton was the front runner for the democrats.
That's why people that say the Tea Party is about Obama or race are moronic. Unless the Tea Party are omnipotent.
It seems to me people can't criticize the Tea Party folk on issues so they resort to the tired old tactics of race and blaming Bush. All nonsense. And everyone can see through it.
I don't even think the far left loonies like the guy that tried to kill people at the Discovery Channel are moronic enough to believe the Tea Party is because of Obama. Or that professor lady in Alabama, and big Obama supporter, that shot her co-workers. And you all claim the TP is about viloence. LOLs.

its the tea party if they are organized by the same individuals...
You're assuming, for your own argument, that these people are now all under the banner of the Tea Partys when you have no proof of that.
You can draw a correlation but to say that the Tea Party started before that is false. Unless you've invented a Doleran that goes back in the past and made all of these people join the Tea Party we know today.
While there were some marginal protests before Obama took office, they really picked up in size and frequency as soon as the current president took office.

I think you have a problem with the concept of chronology. And you probably fail the most basic question of an IQ test, which is if some x's are y's, then all x's are y's.
Next time don't say the Tea Party started before 2009. Just say you think you can trace back its roots prior to Obama.
What's the point of using words if you modify their meanings as you go?

So they are like every other group that has ever existed in human history?
Start with a small membership and either grow in membership or die off.
And let's see. The TP is about smaller government. Kinda makes sense it would gain momentum after Obama got elected. All the guy talks about is more taxes and bigger government.
Methinks if Obama was wanting to cut taxes, stop the wars and reduce govt spending the Tea Party would never have grown in membership.
What doesnt make sense? That those same people who object to bailouts would object to increased deficits? Ohh I forgot, it only makes sense if you believe 1/2 the country is racist..

Except for the founders of the tea party saying they objected to the bailouts.. Yeah, I guess that accounts for nothing.

They begin when Democrats ballooned the national deficit by 500%. Did they pickup in size? Why wouldnt they? When the deficit jumps from $250B to $1.25T, you think they should stay the same or just go away?

p.s.
CNN called them the Tea Party in 2007. One of the first protests when Bush was president was on the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. Prior to Obama.
