I suppose, had you lived two centuries ago, you would have considered the people at the original Tea Party as lunatics. After all, it was just a tax on tea! or was it a tax on the post...food...the number of windows in a home...tolls...was it the need to worship at the official Church of England...was it the fact that they had no representation to have their grievances heard in the English government...or was it that they disagreed with many English statutes and laws...and so on, and all the ever increasing tax money rightfully earned by the people going to the Government...that is the King.
At some point it became more than just a tea tax...and so ironically, history has a way of repeating itself. But to you, they must be all lunatics...too bad for you.
Wow dude, you are so false on many things with this question.
They march for all of these and many more issues. It is NOT about one issue. It is about what this ignorant man is doing as president. He has ram rodded legislation through, that had it been allowed to be presented the way it normally is, most of the BS would not have passed. The trillion dollars spent on the economy, no one read the legislation. They just passed it.
Thank God more and more people are waking up to his ideals- communism, marxism, and socialism. All you had to do was read his first book to know who and what he is.
It was about big government, and the different aspects that each individual felt was important to them, some it was health care, others immigration, some people thought taxes was the main issue, and even though I strongly disagree with them, some even thought a birth certificate was the most important issue.
It's funny that you would call people who are exercising their freedom of protest liberal. They are true Americans who disagree with what the President is doing and so they are voicing their opinion. Regardless of what you think personally, that is the stuff that this country was founded on.
So, to call them lunatics is small minded. If you want to disagree with them, fine, that's also your right as an American, but they are not lunatics. I think you're confusing the 1% of the crazies with the group as a whole.
Cons are not really protesting anything coherent other than the world is changing and they don't want it to. Rednecks in baseball caps with 1 tooth and signs that are misspelled and their hatred of the first black president is what it's all about. And no. Conservatives will NOT "take this country back".

The funny part (and they ARE funny) is that they claim that they're not racists!

You want the real deal? It doesn't matter why.
The fact that should trouble you is that they did at all. This energy and anger can now be harnessed and directed.
Thinking of the political implications of this as it pertains to Obama or health care is very short sighted.
This genie will not go back in the bottle no matter how much you wish it in the future. Your side played your part well and deserve a reward.
Calling all those angry people "racists" and "idiots" is better than anything I could have asked for. Bravo.

Not much different than the millions who would vote some inexperienced community instigator into the White House. Stupid then, stupid now.
I would assume that someone who was insane and likes to have another mans testicles in his mouth would be kind of out of the loop.
Now if we're talking about Tea Party members...being one of them...I think we have a pretty good grasp of what we're on about.
They were in the wrong place at the wrong time as well.
Should have been a few streets over (K street) and should have been at least a year ago.

RIP GOP = GULLIBLE OLD PEOPLE
Your picture alone is reason for no one to listen to any point you make.
