OK, sorry for the snip…but….
This is going un-reported.
Los Angeles - 15,000 people turn out to lambaste tax-and-spend politicians in both parties in Fullerton, CA,

Cincinnati - The Cincinnati Tea Party organizers told us it was going to be big. And it was. Organizer J. Binik-Thomas e-mails this evening that 5,000 folks turned out for the protest and more than 1,600 people signed a petition to ask local governments to reject porkulus funding.

It is a real “ACTIVIST” thingy like stuff movement………just not smelly………

You don’t seem to be aware of the way I look at our system right now. In my way of seeing things, there is nothing we do down here in the trenches that have any effect on the politicians, any politicians.

The whole political system in this country has become beholden to special interest and big money. If you are in Washington, that’s because you will be of some use to these people, the ones who are actually pulling the strings and making the rules.

Much of what has been happening in the recent weeks is proof of what I am saying.

Look at the reverse in statements just today, Dodd admitting that he protected the bonuses in the current bailout.

So, these little “tea party” groups are only make busy stuff for us so we feel like we are making a difference.

We are not making a difference. It’s going to take a lot more than holding placards and chanting in the streets.

You’ll see.
