Teabaggers were looking for signatures and members in front of Target tonight...

The man was discussion how they will protect the middle class and end taxes. He seemed a little short on theory how they would fund even the California National Guard, police, or fire departments without taxes.

But, he had several nearly full sheets of signatures.

Will be interesting to see if they can make a run in state politics in California, though they could hurt Republicans if they make a go for it with their own people.

1. Target does not allow Salvation Army Santas - did they know the Tea Party guy was there?
I'd think they would throw him off their property!

4. If it is in a mall or area with other stores
California law allows people to collect signatures. The case that granted access was taken all the way to the supreme court, it was the pruneyard shopping center in Campbell california. The court ruled that a shopping center is a public place and allowed such activities. However, if it is a stand alone store on a single lot, then the center can prohibit such activities.

It was a petition table. That may have been his in.

2. Babies who want everything without paying for it
Most folks start to get it when they hit their teen years.

5. Most kids learn the value of sharing when they're 3 or 4.

7. Funny that you said that as every con voter I grew up with even to this day have problems
with sharing anything. As kids when they ran out of cigarettes or weed they would come running to the kids that had what they wanted, yet when the shoe was on the other foot it was a different story. Their parents were the same way, when the schools had gift exchange xmas day, the con kids parents bought cheap dollar toys to send as a gift, there was a $5 limit that even the poor kids followed.

The funniest thing I ever saw was the day Mrs. high on her horse came in first day after xmas break ranting and raving how her kid got a cheap $1 toy, then went on a rant how poor kids was ruining xmas for her child. It was great cause the teacher knew which kid got what from whom, Mrs. high on her horse was also one who sent her kid in with a $1 toy. The sad thing was, she said, well she thought a poor kid was going to get the gift and she was worried the toy would be better then he toys the poor kids parents got them.

Btw, the school stopped gift exchange that year because the parents that could buy $5 gifts didn't and the poor people who couldn't afford $5 toys bought them anyhow. To the poor parents it was a matter of pride to give what they could, where as the well to do felt only their kids deserved the $5 toys. It was an awakening to those of us that were not of well to do families. Our parents backed teachers 100%, well to do parents always drug their kids in and made a fuss when little johnny rich kid got caught looking up poor girls dresses, like the poor girls should be honored that rich kid was looking.

8. The cons are not big picture thinkers. They don't think in the long term
or even beyond their body space. It's strange just as a thing. :hi:
