Washington (CNN) - Just about every blockbuster movie is followed by a sequel, or two. The tea party cross country caravan, it appears, is no different.
A Tea Party Express official tells CNN that they're planning a third national tour in late March and early April that will culminate in the nation's capitol on April 15, tax deadline day.
Levi Russell, a spokesman for the group, which is organized by the conservative political action committee Our Country Deserves Better, says the slogan for the tour is "just vote them out."
Russell says that with the crucial 2010 midterm elections just months away, the tour will spotlight members of Congress who they consider the worst offenders when it comes to fiscal policy. While both Republicans and Democratic lawmakers will be targeted, Russell acknowledges that more Democrats than Republicans will be on their scopes.
Russell tells CNN that tour is expected to kick off on March 27 in Searchlight, Nevada, which is the hometown of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. He adds that the three Republican candidates running to challenge Reid in next year's election are planning to attend the rally.
Just as the first tea party cross country caravan ended in the nation's capital, as part of a taxpayers march on Washington on September 12, this national tour is also scheduled to conclude in D.C. as well. The conservative group FreedomWorks organized the first march on Washington and will reprise their role for the April 15 event.
The first march ended with a large rally in front of the U.S. Capitol. This time organizers plan to hold their rally near the White House.
"September 12, 2009 was a historic day for patriotic, grassroots Americans who care about freedom," says Brendan Steinhauser (no relation to the writer of this article), director of federal and state campaigns for FreedomWorks. "The momentum has continued, and we expect hundreds of tax day protests on April 15, 2010 around the country. But the biggest event of all will be right outside the White House, where President Obama can hear and see us."
A second tea party cross country tour in late October and early November experienced a drop off in the number of people participating and in coverage by the media. But Russell says that drop off was expected and feels the third tour will be the best one yet, saying that "we'll be well into the 2010 election cycle and the campaigns will be heating up."
As with the first two cross country caravans, next year's tour is expected to highlight the message by organizers and activists that the federal government is too large and too intrusive into the lives of private citizens, federal taxes are too high and that the federal budget deficit is out of control.
Last month, a separate group announced that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will be the main attraction at what's being billed as the "First National Tea Party Convention."
Tea Party Nation says that last year's Republican vice presidential candidate will serve as a keynote speaker for the conference, scheduled to take place in Nashville, Tennessee from February 4-6. The group also announced that Rep. Michele Bachmann will be speaking at the gathering as well. The Minnesota Republican has become a hero among many in the conservative movement.
Tea Party Nation is not part of the planned national tour in March and April and Tea Party Express is not taking part in the tea party convention.

expose all who waste our money ... both parties ,,,
The Million Moron March continues... err, make that 3 dozen morons.
It is almost funny how Fox's extreme media 'cluster fox' keeps trying to make a bad idea work. However, if Sarah and Michele can't bring out the nut balls, no one can.
America's finest...idiots!
Where were they GW started an unnecessary war? then paid for it with tax cuts? or created the biggest government expansion in more than a century? or wire tapped its citizens? or outed a covert CIA operative?
Freedom fighers? Pffffft
It is very bizarre to think that Republicans are more capable of managing the federal budget than are Democrats. Most of our national debt was run up during the Reagan, Bush, and Bush administrations. When Reagan came to office, the debt was $1.5 trillion. When he left it was $3 trillion. When Bush left office, it was $4.5 trillion. When Clinton left office, it was $6 trillion and by the end of his term the federal budget was balanced and we were paying down the national debt. Then GW Bush added $6 trillion to the debt.
So, of the $11 trillion in debt, all of the presidents from Washington to Carter put us $1.5 trillion in debt.
Reagan, Bush, and Bush added $8 trillion to our debt. Every time we elect a Republcan, the debt doubles. Republicans are only fiscally responsible when they are out of power, and it is all hot air. Elect them and the sky is the limit.
Ever tasted a stale cup of tea?
I wonder how many people the rich and powerful can hire to do this one. What a bunch of hopeless fools.
looks like the insurance companys offices get another payed holiday
Oh Lord get out your boots
What has Michelle Bachmann actually DONE to help lower the deficit? Besides $4 million in earmarks in 08...
Seems these teabaggers have way too much time on their hands. Why not do something useful like because one of the "thousand points of light" instead of just being one of millions of misinformed whiners.
It is a fact (that the Republicans try to hide) that the economy does better when Democrats are in power. The stock market rises faster, the middle class does better and the national debt rises FAR more slowly. Find out the truth for yourself and above all, don't listen to the tea baggers. They are seriously deluded.
i would love to see what tax rate most of these idiots actually pay. my guess is, after all their deductions, etc... their tax rate is alot lower than they think it is. they tea bag themselves all they want.
republican=hypocrite
republican conservative = clueless hypocrite
I proudly pay my taxes to support our military, schools, roads, police, firemen, government, libraries, etc., as I cannot take time out to do these things myself.
I was thinking of having a party as stupid as the Tea Parties, and burning effigies of Beck, Hannity, Murdock, Demint, Ensign, Bush, Cheney, and all the corrupt republicans, but the EPA informed me that the flames would be seen as far away as Mars, and would cover the Earth in smog. I guess I will not be doing that.
good job tea party!!
Hey, it's their right to express themselves. They are clearly blind being led by the blind, but I would never try to stop them from creating entertainment for the folks with a brain...
You know, if none of us paid any taxes, then we wouldn't have Government, and then we wouldn't have law, justice, or any other kind of social order. Oh, only the very rich would have education, medical care, etc. Most of these know-nothings would be in even worse shape than they are in now....
Apparently, all you have to do is get a bunch of idiots together to act like fools and you get tons of media coverage.
Don't these people have jobs and other obligations?
I made the last one, I'll make this one too. I am sick of the clowns in DC padding their own pockets and in one case a freezer, I want them out NOW.
The time has come to feel sorry for these Obama's citizens who worship Obama as he is some kind of God to wake up. Please stop making fun of the citizens who do not agree with you. It only makes you look twice as bad to the Independents. Who by the way, are more in numbers each day than either the Democrats or the Republicans. I was a die hard democrat until this year. After watching what congress has done or not done has made me change to the Independent Party, who happens to have quite a following among the Tea Bag Followers.
They can do it four or five times, most Americans are actually informed and don't agree with the tea baggers
You guys keep forgetting..."Sponsored by Fox News."
What does the tea party really stand for… I never heard of them while Bush was in office.
when they say "just vote them out," what the tea baggers really mean is vote for socially conservative waspy males.
this is sadder than a greek tragedy . . .
I am so there! ...and bringing my friends with me. We are so tired of having our pockets picked all day, all night, directly, and indirectly!
If it's fiscal responsibility they are preaching, they need to target pro war legislators. That is where most of OUR money went.
CNN and all the other news organizations have got it all wrong. People of America don't "hate" Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, people of America hate the fact that the Federal Reserve is actually nothing other than a bunch of rich foreign bankers who control this country behind the scenes and who do not have Americans' best interests in mind. They all out solely to make a profit. They were set up to avoid recessions and depressions, yet, since they've been "controlling" things, we have had NOTHING BUT recessions, housing bubbles, stock market bubbles...they really NEED TO GO!
Great! Let's keep our money out the hands of Washington. It belongs to us, not some idiot bureaucrat who thinks he/she knows how to spend our money better than we do. Keep up the good work you tea baggers and don't listen to the critics. Heck, they can pay all our taxes if they want.
I am deeply saddened by the fact the United States has the worst tax code on the Planet.
The Anti-American express rides again! Morons across America. These losers should get a job.
We have always had "TEA PARTYERS" throughout our history. They were at the Whiskey Rebellion, and they were know as the Know Nothing Party. Most of these folks are not racist or insincere in their beliefs. They are frustrated by the complications of the modern world and of the changes taking place which are leaving them behind. So, like Howard Beel in "Network" (or his imitator Glen Beck) they need to scream "I'm angry and can't take in anymore". Angry people can't be reasoned with. Let them vent, but make sure to counter their simplistic message when the opportunity arises. Not highlighting their errors of fact and judgment is dangerous and that includes their favorite tactic of shouting opposing opinion down. A technique that was all too familiar with another "populist" movement in pre-war Germany.
Where were these teabaggers when Bush gave away billions in Iraq and to Wall Street? Where were these teabaggers when Alaska, under Sarah Palin, forced oil companies operating in AK to give some of their profits back to the state so that she could "spread the wealth around" to AK citizens for simply sitting on their buns?
When the GOP take your money, conservatives call it "good for business." When the Democrats take your money, conservatives call it "socialism."
What a bunch of clueless hypocritical "morans."
Since President Obama has been in office my taxes have NOT gine up and I am gainfully employed. So these tea party must must be protesting the taxes that were raised during the Bush era...but they had to wait until a Democrat took office so they could come out and protest them. The money these people and the "grass roots" folks that back them could be put to far better use I would think. I suspect more yelling and more racists Obama pictures and slogans this spring. But it amazes me that since the tea party express has taken wing.....NOTHING has changed. Same goverment...same tax structure......same president. Another waste of time.
So, they'll drive over Interstate highways on this tour? Stop as roadside rest areas, too? Will they thank those responsible for providing these things, you know, the taxpayers, state and federal government?
they can scream all they want........problem is, what they still don't realize, is that it is ELECTIONS that determine policy........we just had one and they lost..............
I have support for the teabaggers and some things I can not embrace with this group. I can feel the pain of my 56% in taxes I pay from my hard earned money into a wasteful Government. However I can not embrace the exclusion this group holds towards my fellow citizens who may have a lifestyle they fear. (i.e. gay marriage, the continued waste of the world's police men)
Somewhere there is a middle ground that can be acceptable, this conservative group says they want a return of constitutional law and then in the same breath oppose gay marriage, the end of the drug prohibition, and their continued support for the two wars of occupation for corporate profit.
I'm not a very smart man but I know what love is....and love is about inclusion not exclusion.
"Since President Obama has been in office my taxes have NOT gine up and I am gainfully employed. So these tea party must must be protesting the taxes that were raised during the Bush era"
Are you libs really that dense? They are talking about government spending that can only lead to higher taxes for everyone. They are protesting future taxes, not past.
What do you think happens to taxes when the government spends 3 trillion in the first year? They go down?
Oh goody. More idiots on parade.
Tea Parties are not about Repub or Dem. They are about both...we are tired of taxes. One of you wrote that if you look at all your deductions you actually don't pay all that many taxes. Well, I live in Ca and there is a tax on everything. We actually pay over 55% of our income in taxes.
Hey Losers! Give me back my Social Security and Medicare. GET a Job like me. Socialism Must be Good, Right. I can pay my electric bill.
The last time the so called Tea bagers supported a candidate in upstate NY, the Dems ended up wining a sit that they haven't won in more than 100 years.
DONT LET UP!!!!!!!!!!!! Show the government socialists that it is THE PEOPLE who run this country, not the politicians. Government exists for the benefit of the PEOPLE....not the other way around as Obama would like it.
Hey tea-baggers we DARE you to come to downtown Seattle. You'd be lucky to get out alive!
You far left loons are going to be surprised and amazed at the sheer numbers of folks that have had enough. All of the McCain voters plus millions of voters that couldn't force themselves to vote for the Liberal McCain or the Socialist Obama, will take back America in 2010 and 2012. Just keep laughing and dismissing them.
While you are at it, be sure and remind us of all of that Conservative wisdom and accomplishments during Bush's 8 years. Especially the planning and rational orientation toward the war or the lowering of controls on banks and Wall Street, etc. I agree, vote them out, especially anyone who was a Bush-Cheney supporter.
These are Dick Armey (former R-Aetna, Enron, Exxon, United Health, et al.) minions.
There is nothing grass roots about these people.
CNN: please report the facts behind the charade.
The problems with those tea fellas is not what they believe in, everybody is entitled to have their own opinion about anything and everything (even if that means to believe in things like Flat Earth).
It is a CONSTITUTIONAL right.
So what is the problem with them? Not what they believe in, but HOW they express their beliefs. Pettyness, arrogance, divisiviness and obstructionism are not a way to achieve anything, but a good way to become irrelevant, after all who wants to hear someone who acts like he or she is better than his/her listeners?
'Hollier-than-thou' doesn't sells well anything...
I support this cause 100%. This is about government wasting our money and raising our taxes so they can waste even more. Those of you who don't get, probably don't pay enough taxes to understand our frustration. Don't criticize what you can't possibly understand. There is no reason Nancy Pelosi needs to spend 3,000 worth of our money for flowers, can't she buy her own flowers?
I'm sorry but these Tea Parties are full of some gullible people.
I bet most of them don't even know they are getting a tax CUT from President Obama, and that the "Stimulus" contained one of the biggest Middle Class tax cuts in history.
Yet, here they are like a bunch of fools, protesting against the guy who gave it to them.
In the meantime, the corporate puppet-masters behind this Astro-turf movement only really care about getting tax cuts for THE RICH.
What a bunch of sorry gullible fools!
These people let their corporate masters do all there thinking. Well free thinking Americans like myself care enough about our country to help rebuild. The funniest part is they think we worship Obama. When in fact we prefer positive solutions as opposed to constant whining.
Hey maybe you can cruise the country with some ideas rather then collective childish behavior. Glass is half full not half empty.
they should all be locked up for life
Some of you say your taxes haven't gone up...Um have you filed your 2009 taxes yet? OH yeah NO... What we are protesting is the taxes going up in the future. With the proposed Government run healthcare, cap and trade and list goes on and on. Turn off CNN and watch other news channels. You people are so blind!! Wake up sheeple!
Yawn, does a majority of Americans really care about what these tea-bag's think or care about?
Texan corporations have huge overseas tax havens that protect nearly all of them from paying even 1% of the tax funds which the US Government routinely gives to the State of Texas.
Mindless ferrets clamoring in Texas for lower taxes! Texas is the biggest hypocrite when it comes to Texan Corporations paying their fair share of Federal Taxes while holding out their greasy hands to scoop up as much of corrupt Republican lawmakers give them.
I don't even think these people understand anything about government. Remember the government built this country and it needs to do it again. Also, remember all these deficits started with RReagan and continued with all republican presidents, with some relief under Clinton. So far President Obama has not added to the deficit, Yet. The temporary TARP and Stimulus are not ongoing. One needs to understand where this country would be without either.
So Tea Party learn of what you speak.
I spend free time volunteering there's a whole host of worthy causes.
join a PTA or volunteer at a shelter for the homeless, help clean up
trashed neighborhoods, join the peace corps. Find constructive efforts. Don't degenerate into an angry mob.
What a bunch of high and mighty left wing imbiciles writing here today. You must have really gotten up early and studied hard to put more than a couple sentences together. We tea baggers as you call us are sick of paying for your lazy butts and it is coming to an end. We are not the ones being left behind, you are.
Oh really? Well, who cares? These people are wacho rabid-right-wing-nut-jobs, who wear tin-foil hats and don't believe in climate change. Yeah, I really want to turn the country over to these clowns.
The t-baggers have one thing right, and that's the fact that they follow leaders who are just as bad or worse. And talk about tax dollars, what about the fact that GW hid the money he spent on two wars from the budget. Nutcases, all of them.
Go Tea Party movement. This is a great conservative movement with a mission to limit the size of government, government spending and taxes to what we as a people can afford. Government should provide roads and bridges, education, defense, law enforcement, courts and consumer protection laws. It should not run banks, auto companies, health care, try to be an insurance company, or punish the wealthly by overtaxing them for the purpose of redistributing wealth.
Simply put government should provide infrastructure and enforce laws and beyond that, stay out of the way. If it did that we would have a stronger economy and more good jobs and less government debt, leaving more money in the private economy where real jobs and wealth are created.
Liberals will never get it. Foutunatly they are the smallest political demographic in American with those who consider themselves conservative outnumbering brain dead liberals 2 to 1.
ah yes the Tea Party folk are coming back. Thanks for the warning CNN..maybe that will be enough time for a counter group to meet them in DC and expose some of their racists tactics and downright mis-leading information that they are passing out. These people are nothing but sore losers still upset that the GOP didn't win in 2008 and worse some upset because the president doesn't look like what they are used to seeing in the Oval Office. I have nothing against protesting...taxes in some cases are high I agree, but where were the tea partiers when Bush was in office and this recession began also along with bigger goverment? Until they can answer that question I have little to NO respect for these folks. It doesn't take much to see what they are REALLY about.
So if you disagree with Obama's handling of the economy, health care and etc you are a moron or a racist. Most of you are abunch of jerks.
How about "Motivating Morons for Madness"?
Just keep drinking that Greedy Old People's prune juice and you will achieve "purity" of one type or another.
Who knows, It may just cleanse your souls as well...
The Tea Party protests have been ignored by this arrogant administration already. Hopefully this one will get their attention. It is the right of the people to protest government waste, irresponsible spending, half-baked policies (healthcare 'reform') and plain stupidity.
Note: to those lefty posters that belittle, call names, lie about the number of attendees and generally scoff at a sincere protest, shame on you. People can disagree and still be honest/civil (even if you're a left winger).
Wow and other moron rally
We must rise up any way we can against the bolsheviks who are now destroying our once proud nation. The Tea Parties are one way to do this.
You people who voted for Obama sure got snookered by a Chicago con-man! The trouble is - we ALL have to suffer for your star-crossed foolishness!

Wow, I've read a lot of the comments by the left wingers–mean-spirited, hypocritical and way off the mark–sad.
OK, let me see. My taxes have yet to go up and I'm sure these tea bag nut jobs taxes have not gone up either. I guess it was OK to pour billions of dollars into Iraq for that BLUNDER of a war. I didn't hear Hannity, Limbum, or the MORON Beck whining and crying about that. Let Obama try and help those that need it and suddenly the "chicken littles" are running around screaming about the end of the world. The tea bag nuts job HATE Obama plain and simple and it's just a chance to bash him. Losers.. losers all!!! Oh did I mentions BIGOTS as well.
Republican Eric Cantor was asked what he would do about creating jobs and he couldn't answer but continue to complain about Obama's plan. He sounded like a fool.
I just hope they don't kill anyone. This mob mentality is really scarry. I know individually they may be nice people, but they listen to the propoganda feed to them by Fox and get worked into a frenzy. NEWS FLASH: The payroll tax went down under President Obama. No "rights" have been taken away from anyone. No one is going to kill grandma. GET REAL! TURN THAT TRASH OFF AND GET THE FACTS! I got emails all day from Republican friends that were so unbelievable that any idiot should know that that stuff is not real. THERE IS NO WAR ON CHRISTMAS! PRESIDENT OBAMA IS NOT GOING TO TAKE "IN GOD WE TRUST" OFF MONEY. Think before you forward this stuff. It makes you look stupid!
Um...CNN, why are you advertising something that Mr. Beck at Fox is coordinating / organizing? I would think that you should focus on things your network organizes. Honoring the CNN Heros is more inspirational and productive than this tea bag thing. Please stop advertising rallies that are sponsored by your competing network.
These people are truly idiots. First, it was Reagan that posted America's first large jump into indebtness with lowered taxes and huge military spending. The resulting recession brought his VP, Bush senior down after one term. Clinton followed and actually started to balance the books before Bush Moron came along. Bush moron created the second even greater recession by having among other things taxes cut and his government push for housing sales to everyone including those that couldn't afford it.
Why Republiscums jump up and down whenever a dem comes into office is beyond me. They even have the nerve to gripe about taxes but usually are the first to have large families, and large tax deductions for their kids as a result. Personally I think they should pay more taxes and loss the child deduction because they were the morons that wanted them in the first place.
Come on CNN. Blockbuster? You got to be kidding me. A few hundred screwballs riding around that have no respect for anyone that has different views than they do. They are an insult to freedom, democracy, and this country.
These losers are all working for the insurance cartel.
They're Americans doing what it is Americans do when trod upon...fight back. To all the young men and gals who like to insult the teaparty people...they are against government mismanagement. Aren't you?
They are against bigger government as the government (this one and EVERY single one before it) has proven they cannot do a single thing efficiently. So therefore the most effective government is the smallest one.
Obama is blowing this government up to titanic proportions.
I would like these tea baggers to explain exactly which taxes have been raised since George Bush left office. The answer is NONE. They hate deficits (though they are newly converted to fiscal responsibility), but I dare them to list the exact budget cuts they would make to balance the budget. Medicare would have to be in that list.
To the pro-tea partiers – let me get this straight. It's acceptabe to spend 900 billion dollars PER YEAR in defense (including DOD, homeland security, operations, VA, etc), but it's a crime to spend the same amount in TEN YEARS for health care? RIDICULOUS!!! And you have the audacity to call yourselves moral or even Christian?!?!?!? Are you saying that Jesus would be more supportive of war than of people getting medical assistance???
Is a surprise to anyone that dems spend our money like drunken sailors on leave? What else is new!
Know why the left wing-nuts hate the Tea Party? Because there's NO SUCH THING as a fiscally responsible democrat!
liberals are afraid, very afraid at the fact that the Republicans will be taking their jobs in 2010 and 2012. The change that the liberals voted for will be seen in 2010 and 2012 when the Republicans take over.
You TEA Partiers are a bunch of loons. You sit idly by while Bush-Cheney-Rummy spend the debt into the stratosphere on a two-front war, quietly sitting there while the death toll mounts on all sides, happily accepting those rebate checks because in your screwy view of the world, that's how stimulus works. Don't have any money? Spend other people's! And give it away!
One devastated economy later, the Rs skip town and stiff President Obama with the check. And the second someone mentions paying it somehow: " Wahh! Wahh! I've been taxed enough already! Wahh! Tax the Afghanis! Tax the Iraqis! Tax poor people! Tax the eight or nine people left in the middle class! Just don't tax ME!"
You people are a SERIOUS piece of work.
Count me in.....again
And when it's reported by the Obama media, my guess is they'll report a couple of thousands showed up when we all know the last Tea Party on Washington was anywhere between 1.6 and 2 MILLION. Something tells me the third Tea Party will bring in many many more people. And remember folks, for every person there, I would bet there's at least 20 wish they could be there.
All the insults here shows only one thing....these left loons with all their insults sure are running scared.
The Tea Party people would do well to turn to a Jesus moment and maybe volunteer to drive the un-unisured sick people of the USA to the doctor or hospital and as public service..then pay their medical bill for them.... They could show the country they can do much more than just drink tea all the time... Let Jesus be their guide rather than the junk yard dog style they have now and lack of compassion for people..
I don't get them.
How much have your taxes increased since Obama took office? NOT AT ALL! Nothing has increased. Nada. Zip. Zilch. You don't have an argument.
My goodness are these folks all retired and wealthy to be making all these tours. I guess this is the original tea party, a ploy of the wealthy. what a joke, maybe they can use Palin as a hood ornament.
DO THESE PEOPLE WORK???????
The reason why most DEMOCRATS cannot get out there and take several months to run around the country and show how we're behind OUR President is because we have to WORK!!!
How big is the crowd going to be this time. Maybe they can use any one of Obama's crowds and try to get over!!
I will help financially and physically any opponent against all those who have voted to cut medicare funds and to put seniors on the Obanana death list. As a senior out of work it is time for all seniors to rebell against the current administration and Obanana policies which will cause seniors to become dependent on foriegn health care. Impeach Obanana and all democrates for MisLeadership.
Idiots on parade. Sorry tea party you cannot hijack the will of a majority of American voters. No amount of your propaganda will change the tide.
The tea baggers are extreamists. In a democracy the majority is the ruling party. They have representation in their taxation as each of the protestors have a representative in congress. They may not have their "preferred" person but they still are being represented. We do not have direct vote or direct participation in government. We are a representative government. These people are radical extreamists as they are protesting against democracy itself.
This are just bunch of jobless and insane people roaming around the neighbourhood for the sake of protest.
The sad thing is that all these "tea baggers" are really the poor, rural and disaffected. And the even sadder thing is the wealthy have created an "army of the confused" that they are using to further their free-to-gamble with our money agenda. The wealthy sit at home buying up the cheap property that those "tea-baggers" have defaulted on. They are unwittingly supporting the exact thing they say they are fighting against. We as a country need to get educated. Folks, don't hate the "tea baggers" for they know not what they do.
The message is clear: We don wanna pay for other people's health care! Or get our own costs lowered! Or have jobs!! And we don want people to discuss it in meetin's!!!
Ok, maybe not so sane but clear as a Lou Dobbs Know-Nothing's skull.
Hastings, fetch my bag. I fear there are likely to be multiple murders on the SwiftBoat...er Tea Party Express when supporters find out who is behind the "grassroots" movement.
way to show your american spirit. I would go, but luckily i still have a job.
I just need to know how they afford to travel across the country like they do, but they cry they can't afford a tax increase at any cost!
What a bunch of bull.
I guess we will have a Palin/Bauchman ticket. Two Political Socio-paths!!!! It's crazy talk!
Million Moran March– That's great!
You got it right...although through your sarcasm, CNN, you don't even know it...yes, the Tea Party movement will be a Blockbuster, and it's the leading point of busting up the liberal ignorance orgy going on in Washington....
Hatemongers on the move again. Their signs reveal the truth behind their protests.
Where were these people when Bush was spending TRILLIONS on subsidies to insurance companies, TRILLIONS on the war, and TRILLIONS in tax cuts...all with out finding a way to pay for one cent of it? The bottom line is that Bush spent so much money, whomever became President after him would have to raise taxes for the money he carelessly spent.
What these TEABAGGERS don't understand is this: IT"S NOT THEIR MONEY!
It's not your money, it's not my money, It's your government's money, and the government will spend it as they feel they need to spend it. We just keep it all warm and toasty in our pockets, or push it back and forth for them.
Someone needs to remind them that Obama has inacted a tax cut that benefits any American who is on a payroll (payroll tax decrease started in April). They are too busy stewing in their hate to realize it, though.
Ironic that these people only demonstrate against a democrat president. They missed the boat for the last 8 yrs.
If you have seen one, you have seen them all.
"It is very bizarre to think that Republicans are more capable of managing the federal budget than are Democrats. Most of our national debt was run up during the Reagan, Bush, and Bush administrations. When Reagan came to office, the debt was $1.5 trillion. When he left it was $3 trillion. When Bush left office, it was $4.5 trillion. When Clinton left office, it was $6 trillion and by the end of his term the federal budget was balanced and we were paying down the national debt. Then GW Bush added $6 trillion to the debt.
So, of the $11 trillion in debt, all of the presidents from Washington to Carter put us $1.5 trillion in debt.
Reagan, Bush, and Bush added $8 trillion to our debt. Every time we elect a Republcan, the debt doubles. Republicans are only fiscally responsible when they are out of power, and it is all hot air. Elect them and the sky is the limit."
Good job laying it out.
anyone who belong's to this crap is unamerican if you ask me.who the hell do they think pays for all the road's,policemen,firemen etc !!! without taxes this country would be nothing.stop the stupidity!
Peaceful protest is the bedrock of a democatic republic. Why the hate? However, if it's a loose mob of colored-haired, spoiled students from elite colleges protesting the very free-market they use to purchase their price gadgets, the press sits silent.
Everyone knows most sequels are never as good as the originals, and the original tea party express wasn't any good to begin with. Pretty obvious, no? Is CNN just begging for that kind of response?
Whatever. They can say and do whatever they want, doesn't mean they're not stupid as hell. Don't they realize the country is over them?
Wonder if they will drive on roads?
Hmmmmm CNN you better book that week now, I suspect there will be lots of taxpayers in Washington by then!
Please come to Cali.
Where were the tea baggers when Bush and the Republican Congress were spending money like drunken sailors on two wars, while hiding the costs from Congress and the American people? They are total hypocrites.
Yeah, just wait till they file their tax returns and see all the tax credits, tax cuts, and tax deductions they qualify for. Hey, if they hate Obama's tax policy so much and care so much about the deficit (he's cut 255 billion in taxes for individuals over two years) give back your tax cuts and credits.
I heard 1 teabagger yell at a rally: " No MORE REGULATION " LOL. What a clown, that's what got us here in the first place.
Its not just the taxes ..its the Obama ideology. They are fighting against "big government". If this stupid health bill passes, americans will start paying higher taxes in 2010 even though this does not start until 2012. Businesses will be accessed a tax of $750 for every new hire, let alone having to pay for health care. This is only a tip of the iceberg. MOst of you should read Dred report, washington post or any other non-state run media. Stop listening to CNN, MSNBC or any othe state owned media
Those tea baggers complaining that the 'taxes'" belong to them and not the government. Perhaps they need to get off the public roads and start digging their way to work. Oh, wait a minute. some don't have jobs, they need to return unemployment benefits etc. And while they are at it they need to pick their children from the public schools. And these children need to grow up to be just like their parents.......LOSERS!
