Do you seriously want to get into a "misspeak" competition here?
what is sad is that both of you would have plenty of ammunition for a misspeak competition.

You think you can just add up the number of protesters over the last 6 months and that is the number. I guarantee you that you have the SAME people showing up again and again to these things.

I'm surprised the tea baggers don't show up with torches, pitchforks, and plenty of rope.
When is the insurance industry finally gonna hand out free t-shirts to the mob? The baggers have sure earned at least that much from the insurance industry.

Sure they are paying for say Buses.

The said part is you think someone paying for a bus, maybe some water heck I dont know the one I attended no one paid for means that avg citizens are doing it just for a free bus ride. You are discounting all the ones that paid their own way to attend it. Paid their own hotel to be there.

When I attend the one in orlando who do you think is paying my way? I am

Yeah I showed up from Fla to the ones in Texas. People from DC came to the ones we've had in Fla.

You just keep discrediting these and taking them lightly I believe youre going to be in for a shock.

If not, we can look for some independents to send to Washington next year. We are in control.
You did take your chances with the G.O.P. Remember?

How'd that work for you?

Yeah the Gop messed up big time there is no denying that They got away from the principles they claim to stand for.

People are hoping that losing the past couple elections and seeing the direction this country is going has shocked them back.

If they havent then guess what they are gone also.

Hate to tell you its getting worse and the Gop has no power now. So even though it was bad under the Gop its getting terrible under the dnc.

Those that attend tea parties arent happy with either but the one that appears to be listening to them is the republicans.

So with John Boehner's, it's an "excellent pompous-bonehead play", but for the messiah, it's a "misspeak".

Nope, don't want to get into a competition here - just playing hypocrisy police.
