I read where the WH is saying the protestors do not represent mainstream Americans.

Just about blew a gasket.

There’s so much wrong with that statement.

We are Americans.

That’s all we need.

Who judges who’s mainstream?

Far Left loons and liars?

These are people who had Michael Moore with a seat of honor at their convention.

These are people who have avowed Communists in the WH and other nutcases such as Mark Lloyd, Holdren and Sunstein.

In Congress they have Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, Barbara Lee, Diane Watson etc. who love Fidel, want to take over private enterprise and regulate away free speech.

I am angry as I’ve ever been.

When the WH say these people "are not representative of mainstream Americans", they are offering a subjective opinion.

And that opinion is purely based on a liberal slanted point-of-view.

The statements intent is to support the WH position, "it clearly understands" what the "pulse" of America is.

And to comfort the left in telling them the Tea Party movement is minimalist.

The problem for the WH, however, is that it is none of the above is true. In fact, as the movement gains strength, failure to recognize and acknowledge its growing presence is like walking down railroad tracks hoping the train will stop before it hits you. A strategy that will certianly lead to it's downfall, as history has proven time and again, over the ages.

Again, they want to ignore us, tell us we are irrelevant, tell us to ‘shut up’. Our voices are cramping their style, inconveniencing their agenda. But, our $$ is not irrelevant to them and we are not going to be quiet. Because for every person who went to to the DC March or their own local tea party - there are probably another 50-100 at home who feels the same way. And they know it.
