Tea Parties

[Pastor Gary]

Watching how the various news networks are covering (or ignoring) the national tea-party movement. Made me wonder: is there such a word as "outcumbents" -- you know, someone currently in office, but on the way out?

I wish there were about 460 of them next year.

I had a good time at the one in Nashville and have a few picks to post later. I'd guesstimate 2,000 - 3,500 folks there but how do you count. One Obama supporter was chanting "NO MCCain" for some reason.

This made me laugh...for some reason.

I love how CNN/NBC/CBS/ABC minimize or ignore 1000's protesting oppressive taxation. In contrast, they had a full year of wall to wall coverage of Cindy Sheehan sitting with 10 or so other moon-bats in a tent across from the Bush ranch in Crawford Texas.

How many here actually went to one today?

I shot a news story for it.

Contrast with the CNN coverage:

CNN 'journalist' shows true colors at Tea Party

That was appalling!!!

Though I like what has been taking place I have to wonder where was all the protest when Bush did the bail out plans? It does make it appear to many that this is just against Obama period. I saw some pretty hateful signs that were displayed in NC!!!!!!

I hated the treatment Bush received and yet we are doing the same thing and it has not even been a few months


Again I love the idea behind NO INCREASE on taxes etc. but the bailout is on us as well.

Did we really want the banks to fail? Was it the right answer? I do not think so but I do remember the last time the banks failed (not personally but through history) and the great depression lasted a LONG time. America would not make it through another one of those, we are to powerful and that would end as well....

So I am proud of those that came to protest respectfully against the bailouts, high taxes but I have NO respect for any racial or hateful comments , just as I did not when they did it to Bush.

Yeah, CNN, NBC, CBS, and ABC should have started covering this one-day event a year ago, before it was even an idea.
