It's hypocrisy, not hypocracy.

But where were the liberals then? I don't recall a liberal groundswell to protest Bush's spending, or anything else. You would think they could have mustered up a day like this to protest the unjustified war, but I can't seem to recall that happening. They were too caught up doing nothing.

If these tea parties are in fact a bipartisan protest of all that is wrong with government now then I applaud them. If they are simply just anti-Obama protests, then I would agree with those who think that's lame, but I would applaud those who do go out and stand up for what they believe.

For the last eight years, all liberals did was whine and complain on blogs, they never organized anything like these tea parties, even though they had reason to. Now they want to bash those who come out to express views opposed to theirs. There's a little hypocrisy there, too, don't you think?

Where were all the liberals? They aren't capable of keeping a simple radio talk show successfully afloat. Soros paid more in salary to the clown from MN than he took in revenues.

Applaud away John, I was at the largest gathering last night and no Obama bashing took place. It was ALL directed towards congress and the administration (past and present) as a group.

All I have to say is United we stand... Divided we fall. Whether if it's Republican/Democratic driven... we as a nation must come together to fight for our rights, and stop all the crazy, ridiculous spending from both sides of the party.


Spot on gal - E Pluribus Unum.

Everybody likes fair - Enact the Fair Tax - before throwing stones at it, educate yourself as to what it is and will do.

Here is a link to at least 52 dates on which protests were staged in opposition to Bush's war, which in my unsophisticated opinion, is largely responsible for the out of control spending of the last 8 years.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protests_agai...April_4.2C_2009

Granted, some of these are protests on a global level. But let's not forget about the RNC protest held in August, 2004...in which 120,000 to 500,00 protested in New York City.

Then there was the September, 2007 protest in Washington in which approximately 100,000 people attended. Of course, that number could be skewed because that was an estimated number given by the organizers.

It amuses me after the Blue Wave that swept across the nation in both 2006 and 2008 you can sit there and accuse the "liberals" of not being organized.

So are you saying Bush wasn't responsible for running up the deficit or not? Did you not read my other posts in this very thread where I said I was also disappointed in Obama's decisions regarding the bailouts? (see: Post on April 15 at 6:53 pm)

All I've seen you contribute are sobriquets like Opie and weenies and make fun of Obama's ears. Do you have anything constructive to add or do you just hurl names?

And it's "Bush's" 8 yrs of spending. Not "Bushes."

Ever listen to NPR? Guess not. By the way, that Minnesota guy you so openly disparage is very likely going to be called Mr. Senator. Get used to it.

I guess Jr. had the $800 BILLION spent invading Iraq and Afghanistan tucked under a mattress somewhere in the White House.

...the beat goes on,

...but the audience left the concert hall

...in November, 2008

...because the band was horribly out of tune.
