No, you said they were successful, I’m asking how? How were they successful?
Good Lord, you’re dense.
See, people, a LOT of people, most of whom have never attended any kind of protest before, took time out of their day to attend these tea parties all across the country. Many people made time in busy schedules to do so. These weren’t ‘rent-a-mob’ protests by ACORN. These were real people.
And when those real people got there, they met other real people who think like they do. They networked, got phone numbers, literature, etc.
Get the picture now? Only a complete dullard would expect that there was going to be some monumental shift in the government after April 15th. I guess you win the award for that one...
