You really couldn't pick a better day to camoflauge your tea parties. Seems like another "teabagger" oversight to me.

And vec101 - nobody's scared of teabaggers. I think teabaggers are confused, and there's been an endless stream of humor involved - that's about it. The striking amount of negative momentum coming after April 15th is the best indication of your level of impact on the country. Seriously - 200,000+ people was a failure.

You forgot to chuckle like a 5th grader (aka GenY iDork gadget addicted CNN "reporter") when you said "teabagging" multiple times.

Hopefully many others will do the same.

Power to the real American's! The rest of you America haters can take a flying leap!
Will there be dancing in the streets? Or is it going to be serious?

The evidence suggests that it won't hurt the grandkids at all.

In 1946, the debt was 120% of GDP, and it didn't take generations to pay it down; it was cut in half in only a decade.

The debt is now about 80% of GDP, so I don't see the grandkids needing to pay it off.

I can't think of a better day for a Tea Party. More will probably turn out since the last one was when most people were working. Well, except for some of the rabid posters on here who get paid to post.

Yep, when the system purges the overinflated money supply over 15 years, it's a great launching pad for a comeback.

We only have 14 years of depression ahead of us! Yippie!

Oh, I don't know about that.

This:
...looks a lot better than this: http://www.straitstimes.com/STI/STIMEDIA/image/20090415/tea.jpg (broken link)

I want to celebrate America's independence, not be depressed about it. I want to ride and drink beer, not p*ss and moan while taking Prozac/Zoloft cocktails.

Ugh, dirtbag bikers and crowds...you can keep 'em! The people in the 2nd photo look happy and not one Prozac to be found.

You're funny...dirtbag.

We bikers know how to party. Teabaggers just b*tch.

Let's see...wind, mountains, beer, babes and laughter, or...

...halloween costumes, negativity, p*ssing and moaning...

Yep, my mind's made up. Have fun complaining on a day when sane people are partying.

But you're right about the Prozac. Had these teabaggers taken their prescriptions, they wouldn't be so depressed.

Oh, we bikers give lots and lots to charity. Mostly children. Not bad for a bunch of dirtbags.

Can you suggest a better day for patriotic Americans to demonstrate their dislike for what Congress has been doing for so long? I just can't and think that you "bike riders" will be surprised at the number of people attending that day. Remember so many will not be working to support those who don't pay income taxes that day so they can go out and have some fun. I'll bet that there will be some beer drinkers at the Tea Parties from the workers having the day off.
