Hmmm, so the big, conservative cities filled with non-union, living in homes, white, working folk don't give a rat's azz about the tea bagging parties. If so, according to your rhetoric, there should have been hundreds of thousands of tea baggers out protesting in those areas of the country.

Turnout tepid in U.S. for modern-era 'tea parties' (http://www.vancouversun.com/News/Turnout+tepid+modern+parties/1500117/story.html - broken link)

"A 68-year-old woman at the Sunbury, Penn., protest had to be rescued by police from the Susquehanna River when she fell in while trying to dump tea bags in it."

Many more were there in spirit -- they were too busy working to pay for all YOUR entitlement programs. Don't forget, 50 percent of Americans pay NO taxes -- they get welfare instead -- why should they care if taxes go up -- duh!

Does anyone really care what a gathering of disgruntled right-wing nut-cases think or do???

Besides, I venture to guess that at these tea-baggin parties, they were smoking the team more than they were drinking it!!

I would consider 75,000 to be a pretty good turnout.. And aside from that, where are you getting that figure..?
Out of his A** possibly?

There were already a 1,000 people at the one in Atlanta two hours before it began. Sorry, but there were huge turnouts nationwide.

I think CNN got there message across stating that the Tea Parties were organized by Right Wing Media... What's your argument?
