Was there a "tea party" in your city yesterday?
There was a small one here in St. Louis, the bitterly cold weather probably kept a lot of the wingnuts away. It seemed like a hate on the poor (or anyone who would benefit from the stimulus) gathering from what I saw.

These people are barking up the wrong tree, they really should be taking their rage up to Wall St. and taking it out on who really started all this mess.



:crazy:

1. No, I live in a city with a fortunate shortage of Mad Hatters.
At least so far as I can tell.

4. Look at all those white people.
Only a freeper could protest someone actually DOING SOMETHING to fix the economy Bush drive into a ditch. They're too stupid to chew their food.

5. The guy with the "rich" sign makes 250K a year? I don't think so.
And no, there, was no tea party in my city yesterday because -- even though Australians follow US politics pretty closely -- they don't get excited enough to protest. The demonstrations have been covered in the local media, under the heading of "Even though Obama is a superstar, some Americans don't get it."

I'd also like say that I'm one of those folks looking at increased taxes under Obama and I don't mind a bit. I've been undertaxed (compared to the citizens of any other developed country) for years.

8. Pfffffft...What A Joke
The other day, I think it was Nora The White Ho who interviewed the "organizer" of this thing from Philly...a black repugnican (do they store these guys in a warehouse somewhere? I never see them in my real world). He kept wailing about how the "good people" who own homes were being punished by the "bail-out". Nora then asks him about his neighborhood...ala Santelli...and this dude admits he lives in an apartment. :rofl:

Most those asshats wish they were smart enough to earn 200 or 250k a year...or probably think if they do the rich's dirty work, they'll trickle down on them. Fools.
