Look at the website for this "New American Tea Party" organizing these events.

Not a conservative thing?

And its not all that surprising that with Rush's (and Drudge's et al) nationwide promotion, they can get 4,000 people at some of their rallies.

Those being duded are the ones who dont see it for what it is.
Then what is your solution. At the very least it's a start to get people to open their eyes and see the fucked up problem we have in our government and the destruction of the middle class. We have one party that economically wants to strengthen the wealthy and fuck over everyone else. We have another party that wants to destroy the wealthy and push forth programs we cannot afford meanwhile tax the middle class out of existence without helping them. In the meantime, they work on taking away all our rights so that we cannot do anything to show our displeasure against what is going on.

We have allowed government to become to strong and now the parties don't give a damn about right or wrong, helping the whole... it's all about winning, power, greed and destroying those who disagree and speak out.

We shouldn't be at war in this country with the opposing political/socio/economic philosophies, but we are. Instead, we should be looking to BETTER the whole and not destroy it and we aren't. Hopefully, the tea parties while inspired by one side can evolve into something that promotes and forces the change we need. That change is to listen to the people, stop taking away rights and be accountable to ALL not just those getting your party the power they want.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
