I just walked down to the tea party in Chicago; it's a few blocks from my office. What a joke. What a total joke. The problem with these kinds of things, and with these disgruntled Republicans in general is that they can't get behind a single identifying issue TOGETHER. The signs I saw were either as random as it could get, or were just flat-out idiotic - such as the one that said "No Taxation Without Representation."
Really? Seriously?
I hate to generalize and assume about people, but all of the people I saw with the most clever and witty signs were obviously not making above $250K a year, or were elderly people.
One of the funniest things I overheard was a woman with a sign telling people "I was here protesting at the anti-war protests." Really - so you were against the president who got us into this mess, but you're against the president who is trying to get us out of this mess?
Irony is just so sweet sometimes. Never before have these people raised a finger to protest taxes; now that there's a president they don't want, who is lowering their taxes, out they come in droves to loosely protest paying taxes.
A big LOL to that.
