Sounds like you're already making excuses for a poor teabagging turnout Dave! Think you'll get anywhere near the numbers we anti-war folks get, time after time? You realize that the vast majority of the country could give a sh*t?

Please enlighten us and tell us how the current situation is appropriate and why these tea parties by loons are warranted. The bottom line is that there is a significant contingent of individuals who believe that Obama's wild spending (and to a lesser extent, Bush's before him) are bad for the country. I don't know whether these people are willing to take a day off work to protest or not. The original Boston Tea party happened because colonists were pissed they were being taxed without any kind of representation. So then, one must assume that the right is staging tea parties, not because they don't have representation in DC, but because that representation is ineffectual. AMIRITE? Liberals never have a problem taking a day off work because they're not working in the first place. When they get a chance to protest, they're down for it, no matter when or where. Uh......most liberals protest on weekends......you know those days....Sat. and Sunday....when you don't have to work. Why are wingers so slow in getting with the program?
