FORT WORTH — Chanting "No more pork!" and "No more bailouts!" a few hundred "tea party" protesters stood outside a west Fort Worth sports bar for hours Friday, cheering and waving signs at passing drivers to protest the Obama administration’s economic stimulus program.

LOL. They’ll get a big surprise sooner then later.

A bunch of brainwashed ignorant teenagers.

Wonder where they think they’ll find a job when they leave Mommy’s apartment
if they ever do. There won’t be any ‘rich’ people left that hire or
to pay their welfare payments. We’ll all be in the poor house. No rich, all poor
and living like Kenyans.

What they don’t care to think about is, although there are plenty of bad guys in all parties, socialism is not the answer. Instead of working together and cleaning up both parties, they evidently just want Socialism and Islamism. And that’s a no win for us all.

There is no working together because of the division being put between us all by the people mentioned above. Divide and conquer. And these ignorants don’t see this.

Great Britain would be more to their liking.

Yes indeed! We didn’t get there until about 5:30, but jumped right in line, holding up our signs! We meet some really nice folks.

Wow...if the BO-worshiping Ft. Worthless Star Telegram actually reported “several hundred” protesters,that is quite an accomplishment! (When Cindy Sheehan and a dozen other crackpots stood on the road outside Pres. Bush’s ranch, they were described as “a crowd” by the Bush-haters at the FWST.)

Ain’t that the truth! There were probably 250-300 there when we arrived around 5:30.

We aren’t demonstrating in the right places to get attention. Instead of the Embarcadero in SD we should have been at NBC on Broadway. In their face.
We need to hit the enemy where they live..the MSM offices and Govt offices.

The Longest Journey begins with but a Single Pork Fest.

It wasn’t just how many people showed up at the tea Party, it was how many Honked their horns and were watching while they waited on Red lights at the intersection.

We had 1,000’s of Drive Bys, and they weren’t the media, we were, and we were being more informative than the MSM.

These people were not hired either.

Dittos! Lots of honking of horns. I was skeptical at first about the location...but it was bloody brilliant! The fly-over of the jets could not have come at a better time either!

IMO Groups 1 and 3 are about 80% of the Electorate. Well, I got news for you, Obama got 52.7 % of the popular vote. And his Approval ratings are now below George Bush's, at this same time in the Presidency, and Below Jimmy Carters. Obama is sinking like the Titanic. Obama bin lying ...way too much to fool 80%.

We meet this rancher and his wife that had driven over a hundred miles to be there. The guy told me he had never protested anything in his life, but he is very worried about our country and our future. I heard similar tales from other people that had driven hundreds of miles.

I know. Since I have reached old age I seem to want things done in more of a hurry. I might not be around long enough to see the results.

Don't disagree - Your stats are right on. Unfortunately, answering a Poll and actually taking action and making the effort to undo these things are two different things.

O and his minions are entrenching themselves with ACORN and other similar fraud groups. Their activism and funding will likely overwhelm the inertia, indifference and, yes, just plain laziness of far too many Americans to undo this mess.

Hope I am wrong but I've seen far too many elections that boiled down to busing ignorants to the Polls, intimidation and the like to think the advantage O and his zealots have will be squandered. Hell, the Reps cannot even agree on a program of opposition or a figurehead to lead the fight. The Dems, while having a number of candidates, are basically on the same page within their Party.

I believe it. Only a little over a month for a new president and we're already having protests nationwide (albeit small for now) by a group that NEVER protests anything other than with their vote. Good job everyone who showed up!

ACORN is being “Infiltrated”. Just as Obama has taken over from within the system, Acorn will be taken down from within. Conservatives has representation in the Courts, also.

Don’t take Un-employment Money, get Employed by ACORN, and take their Money, and become a whistle blower at an opportune moment.
