My opinion, NO, and they can all go FAUX themselves. And how come no Africian Americans were invited? Asians? BROWN People? JEWS? Racist pricks.

1. Yes. They are going to keep doing protests and let them morph into all and
any complaints or reasons for showing up in order to build a base in hopes of winning. That is all they have. Today allowed a platform unequal in time to people to explain the President's Plans and they got all sorts of air time on MSN and other stations as well as the usual on FOX.

3. They proved one thing

They're not as numerous as the anti-war protests.

4. Well they showed themselves to be a bunch of fools
Ofcourse, some people already knew that they were fools. They did a great job of living up to that calling. I think they showed their selfishness and their inability to respond constructively to problems. They are out there trying to protest Obama's presidency and the taxes they have to pay while other Americans are struggling to make ends meet in these difficult times. As usual, they have got their priorities mixed up. Furthermore, they have no clue how stupid and childish they are being.

This teabagging thing has also shown hatefulness and racism on the part of some.

5. The basic question is whether there is anyone new to their group or is this just the hardcore
Obama hater diehards from the election.

6. The turnout in some of the cities looked quite big
The signs that people were holding up showed a frighteningly low intellect, and tolerance.

7. And these people support the GOP
So few people, overall, of a percentage of the population, who had NOTHING better to do today than make their corporate masters happy, turned out to protest something which they know NOTHING about.

It amazes me these assholes ran the country for so many years.

8. The tea party I observed was gearing up for about 200 people,
the early arrivals were either old, white and crippled (like me) or very young i.e. <20 years old. My wife dragged me away before I got into trouble.
