July 4th would be the best time of the year to do this. For anyone who thinks they should be at the lake, a ballgame, etc. you have the rest of the summer to do this.

I actually just looked up airline fares and flight schedules. I'm excited! If it happens, there's a 99.9% chance I will be there.

No, I didnt even attend one in my home town. I dont believe in attending something that will do absolutely nothing to change anything. People dont want to hear what I have to say, and wouldnt pay attention to me if I had something to say in the middle of the street, in a crowd such as a Tea Party event.

President Obama dismissed all the Tea Party participants as radicals, and the media portrayed the Tea Party participants as "tea baggers"...(shows how sick and perverted the media has become, doesnt it?).

So, I am glad I didnt waste my time and effort on such a losing proposition and if the President would ask me of my opinion, I would tell him that I didnt vote for him and I would NEVER vote for him and that he is going to ruiin our Country. And then he would turn around and leave, and not look back or give me a second thought, which is A-OK by me!

May the LORD Bless each of us.

I wish you well...

Jesse

Yes. Washington DC is a great place to visit. Tea Parties only last a couple of hours. After the party, tour the city.

I'm sure an Obamatron attending a zombie rally last year thought that also, given that St. Louis gets pretty dern hot as well.

What the ???? I don't even know what a zombie rally is, I don't live in St. Louis and I never attended an Obama rally anywhere! My kids attended the Obama rally in Denver in late October and said it was cold.

St. Louis Fed: FRED GRAPH
The Republicans had control of Congress and the White House from 2001-2007. Where was the outrage when they were the ones running up these huge deficits while simultaneously giving out huge tax cuts to the wealthiest 2% of Americans?

Sorry, but it seems really suspicious to me that less than 3 months into Obama's first term, the Conservatives are already screaming "bloody murder" simply because you're having a hard time adjusting to being the political minority in this country. You guys had your turn to rule the country, completely unopposed, and it turned out to be a ginormous clusterf*ck for the entire world. Now step aside and let the President do his job.
