Every story in the drive-by propaganda media now refers to tea-parties as “paid lobbying events”.

Jim Lehrer (PBS, D): "You wont see this reported.
'News' means nothing to us except our gateway to power an d takeover.
Now, how many of Gwen Ifill's book on our Messiah Obama's Inauguration would you like?"

“...As one of the most popular Tea Party signs read:
“You can’t fix stupid, but you can vote it out.”

Liberty truly is at stake. Those who didn’t participate on Wednesday may want to consider the next one. Evidently, the sexual references applied to these common, hardworking Americans by some MSM anchors was extreme and shockingly disgusting.

That number is immensely impressive. Considering this happened in the middle of the workweek, and involved people who work for a living. Washington should take note of this...

But they won’t. They think that they’re royalty. And to continue with that mindset will just increase our number.

Nancy Pelosi scoffed that the Tea Party movement was nothing more than "Astroturf" politics.

What is this supposed to mean?

the Tax Day Tea Party demonstrations featured small-business owners, working taxpayers and families.

IOW, the people who actually PAY the taxes....

As opposed to those who demand payments....
Got it.

“Other Tea Party participants pointed out that Newt Gingrich, who jumped aboard the bandwagon, flip-flopped on TARP in the space of a week last September and made common cause with Al Gore and Nancy Pelosi in ads calling for immediate action on “climate change.” “

Newt has become addicted to being loved since getting in bed with all the liberal TV shows and such.

He’s gone from being firm on principles to throwing all of us under the bus to be liked by John Stewart.

He is thinking of running in 2012. I hope he is ready for a humiliating defeat.

All the so called GOP Senators had better wake up. I intend to support any who run against them in the primaries.

Eric Von Haessler is running on the Libertarian ticket against Johnny Isaakson. I fully intend on supporting him after his form letter email about Obama’s birth certificate. He seems to think just voting someone into office is all it takes to override the constitution.

I think alot of GOP Senators, even ones who didn’t vote for the stimulus, are going to get a big wakeup call.

I attended the Tea Party in Dayton, Ohio where we had according to the police 8,000 people. It was great and most of the speakers were fantastic, but the movement will die if it does not have more of a national voice. The media can marginalize the efforts and eventually it will lose steam.
I'm not a leader but there needs to be a way to coordinate a set of issues that the movement stands for that can be used on future candidates. Things we all believe in that the candidates must sign off on or they do not get our support.
Also I believe there had to be many more than the 500 protests being reported in most of the news. They had over 70 in Texas alone.

Oh, and please pass this around. I keep hearing from the left that us stupid conservative extremists don’t even know what the original tea party was about...

I WOULD SAY PASSING A BILL THAT INVOLVES $787 BILLION DOLLARS OF OUR MONEY WITHOUT READING IT IS TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!

We need a mass march on Washington. It’s possible to ignore a few hundred or a few thousand 50 times over but it’s impossible to ignore 250,000 angry people on the national mall.

"Multimillionaire jetsetter Nancy Pelosi scoffed that the Tea Party movement was nothing more than "Astroturf" politics."

Sounds like nancy pelosi has about as much empathy for the American people as Marie Antoinette did for the French citizens when they first took to the streets.

pelosi seriously needs to be voted out of there.

Im glad I didnt let the bad weather keep me away from the Philly rally. I’d feel like a fair weather patriot for not going.

I attended the Tea Party in Panama City. I didn't really think it was advertised all that well. I only found out about it from a coworker who was helping to organize it.

I noticed that the GOP tried to jump on board a couple weeks ago and I sent them an e-mail saying that they were almost as bad as the Democrats.

I write my Congressman about three times a month to give him feedback on the issues. I usually get a prompt response when I agree with something he's done and I get ignored when I disagree.
