Top 10 Reasons American Spring is a Bust

I don't have them yet, but I thought we could crowdsource one for the teabaggers to have handy when actual protesters are outnumbered by portapotties and media.

I'm sure anything this talented group could come up with would be a hoot worthy of Letterman.

mom's basement and they don't want to have to sleep in sleeping bags on the National Mall.
Also there might not be any WIFI so they wouldn't be able to go on line to find out what to think and no Fox Noise.
And they are supposed to be unarmed.

Can you break it up and make it pithier? Think of the lists you would see on Letterman.

I won't be able to log on to Freerepublic to get my daily talking points
I won't be able to watch Fox and I won't know what new things Obama is guilty of
I'd be naked without my AR 15
I might lose my disability check
I might lose my farm subsidy
I really don't hate Obama but I can't let my friends know
