No matter how the organizers attempt to frame it, these are obviously partisan events, a way for an irrelevant party to make noise and attack Obama.....
I'm a Democrat and I know a lot of Dems who are supporting it.
Of course you have not heard of us, we are not "newsworthy".

As to "famous/newsworthy" Dems being/not being in support - who cares?
This is not about politicians - this is about We The People.

Here'a an attendee at the Orlando tea party...would this be one of those non wingnuts who know a thing or two about personal finance, making a living, creating jobs?

Why are people afraid of the Tea Parties?

Since when do we ridicule people for voicing their concerns over the actions of government?

When do you see the media making a mockery of special interest groups when they protest - people involved in the Tea Parties are NOT a special interest group. They are Democrats, Republicans, and Independents of all religions, races, etc.

I think her diatribe showed a lot more than what she was trying to project. It backfired.
Not special interest groups? how about many of them are Birther's and White Supremacist groups

Wish I could go to a tea party, I would be there to take a stand against the socialist ideas of this sad administration.

It's true because you read it on a blog with almost 100 subscribers.

So, it's OK to bash Bush, but not OK to bash Barack.

I'm an American citizen, and if I disagree with jerk off spending, I'm going to say somethng.


Sensative Democrats don't get a pass. Sorry if your "feelings" are hurt.


Stand up and tell it like it is. Democrats in Congress are killing you. They don't care. The Democratic flock is beyond being distasteful. They are disgusting.

To hell with political correctness and being polite. Obama is about to destroy this country, and I'm supposed to sit by quietly? I don't think so.

In the left wing world your views are the majority. In the right wing world there views are the majority. And in the real world, who are truly the majority, we just sit back and laugh at all of you playing your partisan politics games.

This is what it's come down to.

If the mood and sentiment of the majority of the country were to, let's say jump off of the Empire State building, I guess I'd be out of touch if I didn't jump.

Just because Democrats force feed their crap down our throats, because they can, Moderator cut: No flaming doesn't mean that it is right.

I don't care if I'm deemed out of touch by you.

Should you be in touch with idiots? Why does the media make it seem like it is important to be in touch with Socialists?

The fire you are playing with will not make you happier. Many lemmings ended up with crabs. All because they thought that liberalism would make them happy.
