Yet the Tea Party did not protest AGAINST Bush, did they?

The left can't possibly imagine they would ever protest anything Obama does, so can't wrap their minds around the idea that conservatives DID protest against the spending that Bush and the Republicans did. Bush spent too much, but they can't seem to understand that Obama spending 3x as much as Bush in less time is worse.
Do you think they started creating websites FOUR YEARS before Obama even entered the picture just so they can one day, attack a black man?
It's as crazy as the fools who believe that someone went back in time to create a fake birth announcement for Obama in Hawaii knowing that one day some little Kenyan born boy would be POTUS. Somehow Obama supporters laugh at birthers but they're just as irrational as any birther when it comes to the origins of the Tea Party.

They can't imagine protesting against Obama because many of them voted for him based on his skin color and that hasn't changed. Many cared about nothing more than getting a black POTUS, acknowledging that they made a huge mistake is more than they can handle so they'll support him forever.
Taxpayers' money used on bailing the banks out
Taxpayers' money used on funding two wars overseas
Deficit skyrocketed
Patriot Act (probably the biggest involvement of the Government in people's privacy since the Red Scare of the 50's)
so what?
I'll give you three guesses and the first two won't count.
The majority of the membership of the Tea Party signed up after November 4, 2008. Huh, wonder what the catalyst was for that?
Signed up where?
The Tea Party has no official membership so how did anyone sign up for anything? It's not a political party, it has no central control and no nationwide leaders. It's sort of like the Occupy movement without the violence, hypocrisy, human filth or illogical goals.
Nice to see that you all still have to rely on the race card to begin your argument. It proves that it doesn't stand on its own merits.
It would be political suicide for any politician to champion raising income tax rates on the middle and lower income classes during a period of economic instability. I may disagree with Obama on virtually everything, but I don't think he's stupid. If anything, he's an astoundingly good politician. Nobody can experience the meteoric rise that Obama did in such a short time and not be.
That said, I think it's interesting that there are still idiots out there that don't know that Obama signed into law the two largest tax increases in United States history, within a month of being sworn in. What idiots, eh?
Cool story bro, but the top bracket for income tax remains 35%, just as it was during the Bush administration. I think Tea Partiers are just ignorant and genuinely believe Obama massively raised taxes from the Bush era because they get their info from fat Rush and FOX News. Were you really unaware that the top income tax bracket is lower than under your hero Reagan
This is a PDF page that's a bit too long to post here illustrating my point
Funny how the Tea Party never organized ANY protests until AFTER President Obama's inauguration. Huh, that's interesting.

Why didn't the Tea Party form during Bush?
