We cannot say how many conservatives you know. Apparently not enough to form a protest rally. However, the fact of the matter is that despite many years of deficit spending by the Bush Administration and indeed all administrations for the last 30 years, none of these Tea Parties occurred until the thought leaders of the Conservative cult decided to push them sometime after November 2008.
Would you not agree that spending has increased dramatically? The more the gov spends, the angrier people will be….particularly if it means raising taxes and/or cutting benefits.
