Is it true that 10,000,000 angry teabaggers showed up yesterday to hear John Boehner make flubs about the constitution?

Make light of the gathering (10,000,000 attendees/Boehner statement), but the FACT remains that there IS a growing groundswell of opposition to the spending policies of this administration as well as a growing resentment because of more lies and government intrusion into citizens' daily lives. If you don't believe this, just ask around ANYWHERE in ANY public place,...and see how many supports this administration's agenda.

What people want to do is ignore
-How many people have attended a tea party since April 15th all over the country
-How many times people seem to be willing to keep going to them
-How many more would go if they were able to get off work or find a babysitter or just have the cash right now
-How many thought this would be over by now that people would have givin up and stop fighting

When instead it appears to be growing that worries many

So instead of doing that they just want to discredit each event as if its nothing

i heard it was 110,000,000 who spontaneously rented buses and arrainged accomidations and parking. Freedomworks or Americans for Prosperity/AMA didn't have those buses arrainged for weeks. Next time it'll be a billion.

The twitter picture looks like 150 across and about 12 deep, you do the math

This administration/democrats can roll their eyes all they want, and dismiss these gatherings as "a bunch of malcontents",...but I think even a lot of democrats are recognizing that citizens are infuriated with the unbridled spending, the cost of healthcare, the cost of cap and trade,....and in general the arrogant attitude of both the White House and the majority party in both houses of congress.

As a fiscal conservative I challenge the democrats to keep ramming through these bills with thousands of pages of legislation like the "stimulus" package and pending healthcare and Cap and Trade legislation. Americans KNOW that legislators can't physically read these bills, and will vote a blind vote.

At some point in time the chickens will come home to roost.

The right doesn't understand "grassroots." But they are really good at being manipulated by corporate front groups - you've got to give them that much.

Totally AGREE!

It truly is SICKENING to see such ARROGANCE from Nancy Pelosi, the Dems. and this administration!
So desperately wanting to RAM this HC "reform" down every American's throat while we're sleeping on Saturday morning!
Hey....
That's tomorrow!

I REALLY, REALLY hope the Dems. get what's coming to them next November!
They NEED to vanish like the dinosaurs!

And I thought I was pissed with the last administration.
This one is a collossal disaster in the making.....esp. for the Democrats, but sadly......we are all on this ride together.
And there just ain't enough Dramamine in the world to keep many from feeling SICK!
