plus did you notice he outed himself with the fully capitalized ‘DICK’

Also, the fact that I have money and he, strictly judging from his eat the rich whine he ends with, doesnt, makes me all warm inside.

Who cares? Isn’t the same as George Soros and ACORN on the “other side”….
Really who put money behind any specific parties is irrelevent. What is relevent is what THE PEOPLE were saying at this parties…what THE PEOPLE are saying in this movement.
And who does AIG put money into…they put plenty into Democrats.
And what does this “your taxes are being lowered” mean? Income tax? Oh thanks oh gracious one for LETTING me keep a little more money that I
EARN! You can yell about lowered taxes all you want, and if you only pay federal taxes…good for ya. But, I pay property taxes, sales taxes, energy taxes, cable taxes, cell phone taxes, etc., etc., etc. On average 52% of all our money goes to taxes, so that extra 10 bucks on my pay check each month does not really touch what I actually pay in taxes.

It is up now.

To sum it up:
At 1:25
Reporter – What is socialism?
Attendee – When you take my money and give it to someone who doesn’t work for it.
Reporter – Like Sara Palin in Alaska taking from the oil companies to give to the residents of Alaska?

At 1:45
Reporter – What was so good about the Reagan era?
Attendee – Lower taxes
Reporter – Oh. he raised taxes in 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, and 87. I was dying for you to say that.

If you think that the taxes for the average American are going to go down after this orgy of spending then you are a kool-aide drinking left wing idiot.

You are going to be paying through the nose for the simple reason that you can’t get a whole lot more money out of the “rich”, they will simply move their assets to other nations. That is not hard to do since most of the “socialist” nations of Europe now have lower tax rates than we do.

You are going to be paying out the ass for years to come through various taxes and fees and through high inflation.

BTW did I mention that your an idiot?

Or are you in some “Lions for Lambs” exhibit at some Hollywood studio – your confusing the Fake-newspaper coverage of that exhibit for Reality!

There is no one that can turn out a crowd in the middle of a workday like the Democrat party.

I watched these tea parties develop through my local community networks. Like PA revolution and resistnet, they started well before tax day with 20 people on a streetcorner. You can credit Santelli for providing the idea of “tea parties” versus some other form of protest but these were as spontaneous as anything could be.

I wasn’t able to attend a protest yesterday, but there is another one in Philly on Saturday, which I will attend. I know the person who organized it. It isn’t Dick Armey.

What a sad display of denial of relaity.

ATTENTION LEFT: There is a storm on the horizon and its because ideas have consequences. Your ideas. And people don’t like it.

You know, have some feature that keeps track of the number of trolls that have posted on your diaries.

Wear it as a badge of honor–the left feels you are enough of a threat to send their goons after you.

Raven is attempting to collect and total (as best possible) the Locations, totals, and sources, at this Diary link … so many open diaries on Tea Party subject matter it is hard to bring it all together…. but Raven is doing a fine job of trying….

They are used to having countless people without jobs being bussed to predetermined locations for one (or two) big shows….. these were held in countless cities across America as actual WORKING FOLK could attend right after work, on lunch hours, etc…. at locations IN THEIR OWN NEIGHBORHOODS! Part of the whole Government closest to the People concept they can’t grasp either.

The total number of folks all across the country will NEVER ever be quantified, as the majority of all the “little” locales these were held in each and every State were NOT covered in any form by the MSM – Fox only focused on a few also!

SteveM - all the tea-bagging discussion on CNN and Jeff Emanuel - CNN reporter challenging Tea Party attending rather than "reporting" (not their titles)
