The turn out at the Tea Party was comparable to the turn out at John Mccain rallies.?
Just so happens my day off fell on the Wednesday the angry white people day (not all, just a select amount), who still are attempting to get their point across that they DON'T like the fact that President Obama is his title and not Senator anymore. What was the purpose once again for this rally? What did it prove? And how many people showed up?
If there are all of these Americans who are against paying abnormal taxes and are against nonsensical spending, don't you think that the turn out would have been much greater, much like the outcomes at President Obama's rallies, but GREATER!
A Fox news contributor said at one point that it was ten’s of thousands people at the rallies, then a couple seconds later when they were asked the question again, what’s the turnout, the contributor turned the ten's of thousand to hundreds of thousands! Lies huh, this is tradition on your end huh???
Things have been going one for along time, but now that things are being handled differently, a lot of you RIGHT WING/PREJUDICE/REPUBLICAN FOLLOWERS don't know how to handle it.
Your Tea Parties didn't say a lot about the American people in general, but it did say something about the small amount of SMALL MINDED BITTER people in the COUNTRY! Just like at John Mccain's normal couple of thousand people at his RALLIES!!!! He said NOTHING!
GET OVER IT
What exactly did this PROVE?
Let me see if I have this correct. One of you say that liberals have better turn outs because of college students, welfare recipients and retiree's. So your argument makes absolutely no sense, comparing college kids to welfare recipients to retiree's, such the wrong thing to do. No need to use up any more characters on your ridiculous statement.
America First
My age 26, my ideology is not the same as yours OBVIOUSLY! Graduated from a very prestigious school and have very SOUND job, that can turn into a career but I have other plans in mind. So if the reason as to why the turn wasn't as great was because Conservatives were at work, why hold such an IMPORTANT rally for such an IMPORTANT CAUSE. Seems to me like the REPUB's were attempting to do exactly what Obama did in rallying the people, however President Obama approach was to create urgency and unity for a CHANGE in AMERICA, which is why his turn outs were much greater and more effective. Not bc of someone having

Yes, the same demographic of brainwashed Faux news watching zombies, white, aged 40-60, working class, uneducated, bible thumpers who voted for Bush and McCain.
The teaparty I attended had about 150 people and Fox News affiliate claimed it was 3000. WTF? They held it in the small plaza in front of the county courthouse which was smaller than a small school gym. Many of the people millilng about were people trying to get into the building to conduct county business.
It proved nothing except that Fox News can fool some of the people some of the time enough to get these old, obese white people off the couch and down to the big bad city.

Why don't you and the other idiot loons on here, if you are of actual voting age, put aside the silliness and dumb questions and actually work towards making this Country one "of, by, and for the people" again. Hundreds of people from all Parties joined me yesterday in Macon Ga to let GOVT know we are the BOSS, not them. Seems to me if you were a true ADULT American, you would want the same thing.

There aren't more people turning out, because most conservatives are AT WORK!
Liberal causes get bigger turnouts because all the college students, lazy people who don't work, welfare people, retired people, (and other types who always have their hand out for someone else to pay their way) have nothing better to do.
