Hey everybody...I found some GREAT pictures of those "Tea Party" rallies!
Here are some really good ones, that give you a true idea of who's behind this mass protest in which Republicans and conservatives of all stripes are, in the truest sense of the word, revolting.

From these pictures, you get a real and honest impression of the groundswell developing across the country: against President Obama's economic policies of help for the middle class, and in favor of corporate bailouts for the rich only.

THIS is the true voice of the people, takin' it to the streets to protect the American way of life!

2. rofl
The "Billionaires for Bush" folks are great! Only thing is they have a gleam of intelligence in their eyes that you don't find in the crazed minions of the "tea parties".

5. I thought Freepers lacked the part of the brain that processed sarcasm and irony. nt

4. I see the Billionaires group have a new target.
They are very imaginative and know how to take the air out of any candidate's balloon.

9. Wow, it seems to me
that they are working for the other side because their signs are so ludicrous.

14. yeah really! (Thinking of the rural repubs)
The people who swallowed the Gawd and Country dogma the CONS serve up to the poor and poorly educated demographic so that they'll vote against their own good and crow with loudmouthed pride about doing it!! NPR--baaaaaad!! FuxSnooze--gooooooooood!!...

We're in the heart of rural NY; I have to grit my teeth alot.

13. OK, I confess...these are not from yesterday. At least not that I know of.
They are from old Billionaires for Bush rallies. (Think about it. Look at all these people wearing nothing but tuxes and sleeveless dresses. Look at all the leafy deciduous trees in the back of some of the pictures. In February?)

But they DO point out that this can be a great way, in future, to protest these kinds of freeper gatherings.

Billionaires for Bush got started back in the Bush days, but their street theater is no less needed and no less amusing now that Obama's in charge. They are the perfect answer to all the astroturf grassroots protests being dreamed up now by the Teabagger Troops.

Next time you see a Teabagger protest scheduled for YOUR town, you know what to do. Make some signs, dress up in a tux or a gown and tiara, and take to the streets to join them!

19. We did this in my town when KKKarl Rove came for a Puke fundraiser.
Because the Pukes blacked out the media, they had to cover us.

It rocked!

Go Billionaires!

23. Dear me. The recession seems to have hit the woman in the first picture.

She's wearing the same gown she wore at the 2005 anti-war march (see my photo, below). She sure looked much happier under a Bush administration.
