It’s easy to be “not sure”. Just pay no attention to what the politicians are doing. When something bad happens, such as losing your job, paying higher taxes, watching inflation eat up your savings - just look confused and ask, “Why is this happening to me?”

But ask them who the best contestant is on American Idol, and they will have an answer.

[GoodDay]

It’s time to turn up the heat.

At the next Tea Parties on July 4th, we should hang-in-effigy Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Ben Bernanke, and Tim Geithner. We should also hang-in-effigy “The Mainstream Media.”

A demonstration as to how we feel about POTUS bowing to foreign tyrants and dissing the U.S. should also be front and center at the next event.

I KNOW these ‘political elite’ people actually believe in their bones they are better than 99% of the American people. They look on us like children, actually, like step-children ....

The old country saw about "beaten more often than a red-headed stepchild" immediately flew to mind.

[lentulusgracchus]

Those who score 2 or higher are considered a populist or part of the Mainstream.

And those who score 3, are on Hillary's Shadow Team watch-list, on the Obama Administration watch-list, and have been pointed out to FBI and ATF as probable right-wing terrorists.

And Bill Ayers plans to kill them.

You mean like THROW THE BUMS OUT....if ACORN will let us have an honest election

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

I've been saying it for a while now - the real divide in this country is not so much "left vs. right", but is "elite" vs. "the little guy."

I posted on facebook that I attended. I have over a 100 friends on facebook, and they all know I went.

It’s good that people know about it, but it doesn’t indicate how many people were at the protest.

The Tea Party idea is from former GOP House Majority Leader Dick Armey.

Now many NOT involved with the effort, have things to say, positive and negative.

NH’s Ray Buckley makes Drudge:

Shucks I was a the Concord State House Tea party of some 500 and it was as civil as can be. Manchester’s was as well. All I’ve seen and read has been civil, polite, etc.

Ray Buckley is an OUTRAGEOUS homosexual and its about time he be shown under national spotlight.
See youtube vids-

The new political class are Fascists. Not socialists or communists. Read your history. Study Mussolini. What we are suffering through is 'corporatism.' Our nation has been hijacked by a FAKE two party system. Dems and Repubs are two sides of the same coin.

I believe many folks would beg to differ about that.. some of them quite loudly

[Max in Utah]

Of course, I’ve been e-mailing articles and cartoons throughout the election and afterward as well.

Hell, I'm compulsive about it. There's just so much news that needs to be spread that no one will ever see on MSM.

[Max in Utah]

GROIN = Get Rid Of Incumbents Now!!!

LOL!! I hope that line spreads like a social disease!

[Max in Utah]
