Strange, I haven't heard of any Democrats in support of the tea parties...the exact opposite is true of the Republicans. We even have GOP Sen. David Vitter proposing to make a law honoring April 15 as National Tea Party Day. Then there are such "non partisan" figures as Michelle Malkin, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh all supporting and actively promoting the tea parties.
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.
Those attending the tea parties are not brainwashed ignorant wingnuts but actually know a thing or two about personal finance, making a living, creating jobs, and not going into debt and know that all this massive spending will amount to hyperinflation and high taxes for generations to come. You can't get something for nothing.
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?
I am for the Tea Parties.
I found her diatribe quite amusing because it let me to wonder....
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
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.
Has it ever occurred to you that all the silly statements you made are just a reflection of the fact that you are totally and completely out-of-touch with the mood and sentiment of the majority of the country??
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.
