TRANSCRIPT:

“Score one for the tea baggers. Those silly folks with their silly protests and their often silly signs and silly outfits and silly rants. Who’s silly now?

The folks laughing at them? Or, in California, the elected leaders who now clearly have to answer to them?

Leaders who pushed more taxes. And they said, “bag it.” Leaders who pushed for minimal spending cuts. And they said, “bag it.” Leaders who teed up their biggest doomsday and warned that if budget resolutions weren’t approved their state would go under. And they said, “risk it.”

Not bad for a group of silly protesters who turned out to be not so silly, but so mad they not only woke up a state — I think they’re waking up a nation.

I just wonder if they’re waking up the folks inside that dome who lead our nation? Somehow I kind of doubt it. Not when they continue to propose more spending with money we don’t have for programs a good many of us don’t want.

Not when they scramble to find ways to pay for healthcare that isn’t thought out with ridiculous taxes on everything from soda to folks’ existing healthcare policies that are just — I don’t know — way out.

All I’m saying is, you might want to figure it out. Figure out what just went down in California. Not only some politicians’ treasured budget wishes. Something else. Their careers.

Those who bagged the baggers now bagged themselves. Take note, because the teapot’s boiling.”

Losing their jobs in 2010 will do it. The only real power we have is at the ballot box [still... so far... I'm sure they'd take that away too if they could.]

When Congress is turned upside down in 2010, their attention will be had... albeit short-lived IMO. We gotta keep after them at the ballot box.

DemoRAT and RINO thy name is corruption, arrogance, power hungry, ego manics. Hopefully, your names will soon be TOAST.

Great video!

I have a tea bag at my work station, just sitting next to my business cards.

Some people have asked me why.

I just look at them, smile, and say, you’ll figure it out.

:)

True but 2010 in terms of how much damage they can and will do to us is a long way off. How big a bag will it take to get their attention NOW!!

I think Neil turns a fine phrase here and succinctly describes the madness of the annual "state budget crisis." It's only a crisis because state legislators eyes are far bigger than the taxpayers' stomachs. Enough!

When Proposition 13 was passed in 1978, property taxes in my county were 8.5%.

I sure hope Neil has it right, that the people's voices will be heard and change the direction of the federal oligarchs headlong plummet into socialism/communism ... but I doubt it.
