Sad, Irrelevant Losers Turn Out To Protest Obama Tax Plans

[grab_grab_the_haddock]

You may have missed it but yesterday was a day of national revolt across America against Obama's economic policies and tax plans, featuring "tea parties" all over the nation and the birth of the "new minutemen".

The protests received the assistance of numerous conservative organizations and their email lists, from The Heartland Institute to Americans for Tax Reform to the American Spectator, and were all scheduled to happen yesterday, the 27th of February. Well let's see the results.....

The Pittsburgh party was canceled due to rain. A whopping 79 people showed up in Jacksonville, FL. Looks like maybe over a dozen showed up in Asheville, NC. Almost 10 people made it to the Buffalo, NY, protest. About 100 people throughout all of Los Angeles came out to Santa Monica Pier. All of about 300 people made it out throughout the entirety of Atlanta. 250 made it out to Dallas for the tea party there. 150 in Lansing. Looks like about 100 went to watch the Joe the Plumber and Michelle Malkin teabag fest in D.C.

The very best numbers these jokers managed to pull was 400 in St Louis, and somewhere between 500-1,000 in Chicago--if reports from the organizers are to be believed.

Perhaps most hilarious is the 250-person turnout in Houston which was said to be "a pretty good turn-out considering the livestock show barbeque cook-off in Reliant Park was a competitor."

Because an all-or-nothing, bare-fisted fight against a Commie takeover of the United States just can't compete with the lure of livestock barbeque, not even for a few hours. That's patriotism for ya! The new Republican motto might be: "Give me liberty, or give me short ribs! Aw, hell, just gimme the ribs already."

Compare that with the hundreds of thousands who marched in big cities all across America in opposition to the Iraq War, though no such opposition was to be found on any major television or radio station across America, with little media coverage or fanfare to attend the collective anger of nearly half of Americans at that time.

200 protesters are all they could conjour up in NYC?
Fucking pathetic.

/ LOL.
// Lives in NYC greater metro area, with easy Train, Bus, and Car access to the city. I would gladly go to an Anti-GOP rally... so it's odd they had such low numbers. Meh.

The End of Obama Mania..?


Unique visitors to the Obama-loving website Daily Kos have declined a whopping 73 percent since last fall -- a TOTAL disaster..................:hi

What the hell is going on.......................??

I can tell you what's going on. THE ELECTION IS FINISHED. That's why the "Obama-loving" dailykos has less unique visitors since the end of fall. Shit don you really are stupid.

After dumping all that money into AIG.. It lost 64 billion last quarter alone, and they are going to dump another 30 billion into it. No one knows how and when everything failed and how to cure it, but throwing good money after bad is wrong. Let these companies be bought out and split up, and the strong survive. My credit union is giong on strong and not taking big risk like other banks. Interest rates are lower, less money they make but their losses are minimal. Stop trying to save these companies who are paying out our money to top execs.
