I'm not much for protesting, but both last summer/fall and now this year are very interesting to watch. Whether you agree with protesters or not, you have to give them credit for doing something more then sitting on their sofa griping.

I give them credit for going out and saying what they believe in. It just seems a little disingenuous to me when we have been spending money like crazy for the last 8 years yet they only wait until now to protest.
I don't think it is a race thing. I'm sure there are some racists in the crowd, but you get that anywhere you get a crowd. I think it is a partisan thing. I think the whole tea party movement started out on its own and had good intentions, but I think it has been taken over by the republicans who are now using it as a tool to reconnect with their base.
