An estimated 1 million Americans participated in at least 1,000 tea parties
HAHAHAHAHAHA....riiiiiiight.
Even if that figure were remotely accurate, I'm sorry that your "1 million-participant protests" were/are completely irrelevant and a waste of time. Thinking people in this country care not. Nothing's going to change just because a bunch of clueless whiners decide to hold pep rallies. Sorry boutcha.
Moderator cut: No insults .. if I remember correctly.. you're from idaho too aren't u? Were you one of those people in the park here in boise spouting off behind my house the other day? Shame on you if u were.. I heard it all.. not very patriotic or tolerant...the gathering for the sake of gathering was great.. but what was being said at the gathering was so disgusting... again.. I hope that was not you out there...
An estimated 1 million Americans participated in at least 1,000 tea parties, according to reports by organizers tabulating the nationwide numbers, with documented protests held in 50 states.
That means an average of 10,000 people at each party. If Atlanta had the largest at 20,000, and many others had only a few hundred, how can that be?
These teabagging parties were nothing more than repeats of the worst last days of the palin/mccain ralllies. Full of hateful, paranoid people fueled on and encouraged by palin and mccain. This time it was FAUX NEWS...
....The only individuals that could be hit with an actual tax increase are those whose annual incomes exceed $250,000. An increase, mind you, that's still a full 10 points less than the rates during the Reagan presidency. But I didn't see any seemingly rich dudes in NY, Chicago, DC and elsewhere parking their Benz's and raising any protest signs at these rallies. The crowds, though small, were filled with the same types who've been used and abused before: low and middle-income taxpayers who ironically stand to gain the most from Obama's tax policies. And once again, they've somehow been manipulated by the GOP through lies, misinformation and perhaps even racial bias.
Ever thought these people aren't self centered and only caring about themselves???
Perhaps that never enters the minds of those on the left,that people simply think something is wrong even if it might get them something.
