Put up or shut up. Prove it. Where did you get that stat? CNN? Everyone I know hates his handling of the economy except for the Left-wing nutters who are so in the bag for their Messiah they are deranged.

The Taxed Enough Already protests were grass roots. You guys are so jaded and used the the DNC’s astroturfing you wouldn’t know genuine if it bit you.

Chuck, what happened in 2000 that was any different from what happened in 1996, 1992 and 1988? The only thing that I can think of in 2000 and spilling into 2001 was the attempt to steal an election. I for one was quite vocal and have remained vocal on the subject. I hope I convinced some people of the need for a clean election process. While I think fraud delivered some senate and house seats to the Democrats, Obama probably would have won even without fraud as most of the bogus votes came in states he would have won anyway.

To all the legit commenters thanks. As for you concern trolls, the only people you fool are each other and you’re idiots anyways.

As my nick implies I don’t exactly inhabit the upper socio-economic strata. I’ve always received tax cuts that were for the “rich” and always been affected by tax increases targeted at the “rich”. My conclusion is that “rich” in a tax context means ME.

I’ve not been insulated from those who “cant help themselves”. My observation is that not one in ten is in any need of assistance, “Cant” is far more often than not really a matter of wont.

Susan Roesgen is a CNN reporter who was sent to cover the Tax Day Tea Party in Chicago yesterday. She appeared quite angry about the whole thing. The previously little known reporter certainly made a name for herself by her confrontational and barely (…

If the protest was against taxes, why not refuse to pay them, like the draftcard-burners? In the Colonies, dumping the tea made perfect sense. Now, I just don’t get it.

Refusing to pay them would constitute a real protest. Not this johnny-come-lately wussified nonsense. Nothing like the current joke. Watching them grovel at the feet of the very people who destroyed the system in the first place is embarrassing. Again, where were these protest eight years ago when they might have actually amounted to something? Like it or not retire05, you are the reason we have Obama right now. You only have yourselves to blame.

All you morons that attacked the grass roots tea party movement are missing the SINGLE biggest reason they are good. They get conservatives’ passion up and get people involved. THAT is the main reason this was a success.

The left has the idea of “join” well in hand. We do not. We have millions of people separate from all others — yet all think they have that legitimate reason to sit around carping. We have sites like this that are so concerned to stay all by itself and refuse to support anyone else whole the left organizes and gets things done. Conservatives need to learn to do “join” better. Power in numbers and all.

It enrages me that sites like this one claims to be all concerned over politics and the state of the nation, but then when some movement is struggling to be born, a site like THIS ravages it before it even has a chance to do anything.

Sorry, Rick, but with “supporters” like you, who needs enemies???

I generally dismiss people who can’t take “yes” for an answer because they’re usually brainless lefties. Surprised to see one from the right.

I still don’t get the Tea Party symbolism. Dumping tea into rivers . . . why? If the protest was against taxes, why not refuse to pay them, like the draftcard-burners? In the Colonies, dumping the tea made perfect sense. Now, I just don’t get it.

I’m not laughing at you, not really. For about a week in the 70’s I had a perm. I figure it’s like that. Sure you’ll be embarrassed later, but hey, it’s all in good fun.
