Iowa Tea Party protest numbers DOWN 2/3 FROM LAST YEAR!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

"Thursday's tax day rally might not have come as big as advertised - more than 1,000 tea party supporters showed up on the west lawn of the Iowa Capitol - but organizers called it an impressive display of the political force the movement has gained.

Rally organizers called Thursday a success, although they had hoped for several thousand people, and an estimated 3,000 attended last year's Capitol rally.

Still, the crowd was large for a Capitol grounds political rally. Large gatherings in the past 20 years have typically drawn hundreds, not thousands."

The comments from the TPers are just priceless - it is the ultimate Hypocrisy Fritatta!!

"Still, that didn't stop Ina Breeden, a 70-year-old great-grandmother from Gowrie, from saying that Obama wrote in "Dreams From My Father" that everyone he's been surrounded by in politics is a Marxist. (That's not in the book.) Breeden said she hadn't read the book, but had heard others talking it."

"Her friend, Diana Clancy, 67, of Gowrie nodded her head vigorously. "Everything he's done," she said of Obama, "he's followed the same orders as Hitler." She paused. "Don't put that," she said. "He's going to come after me."" :eyes: :eyes: :eyes:

"Rick Jenkins, a Monticello man who serves in the Army Reserve, took the day off work to bring his two daughters to Thursday's rally. He held a sign with a hammer and sickle: "USSA: Socialist States of Amerika?""

"People's reasons for attending spanned the conservative political spectrum, from anger with the Iowa Supreme Court's decision on same-sex marriage to anger at government bailouts that started under President George W. Bush and continued under President Barack Obama.

One speaker laid out five things for the tea party to lobby for: Terms limits in Congress. Free enterprise. Limited federal government and empowered state government. Fiscal responsibility. Taking guidance from the Constitution."

You betcha.

Don

They pulled the trigger one year too early.

They didn't keep their powder dry for the battle in the election year.

They'll be paying the price come November 2.

This is RIGHT out of Glenn Beck's playbook. He harps on this EVERY SINGLE SHOW, and it's a Koresh-damned lie, but people are believing him.

Central Fl. town. Marco Rubio was supposed to be here but canceled a few days ago. (Dad's illness, although another DUer posted he was out and about after his statement that all events were canceled. Hmmm.)

Funny thing about this one.....Republican supporters of Charlie Crist(no friend of T-Bags, so to speak) and a local woman running for Governor were counter protesting along the street. Thanking Crist for his veto of SB6 and loudly chanting while the Tea Baggers were whining about their misspent taxes.

It is more than evident that this is a fabricated issue of the MSM.
Let call their 15 minutes of fame over.

wasn't that Bush's approach?

Reported as a couple hundred, actually around 40 or 50. We had a presence of about 20. Half of us stood right in the middle of the crowd with our signs support HCR.
We played some games with them. Then it was no fun any more so we left.

The Grim Reaper is having his effect on their numbers; after all, when the median age of any group trends higher, so does the death rate.


If they don't get more of the younger stupid white people to join, Teabaggers will soon be nothing but a memory as the graveyards fill up with their members.
