No thanks to Count Baracula, that’s for sure.

Keep laughing. Congress is ours next year due to your Hubris.

I pulled next to the driver – a very angry-looking woman who, well, was not exactly a Janice Dickinson model – and rolled down my window. Then I hollered: “Right on! Dissent is patriotic! That’s why I voted against Obama!”

She shot me the bird, gave me a disgusted look and drove off in a cloud of exhaust fumes.

Ah, the tolerance of the liberal left! And they wonder why nobody takes them seriously anymore.

The only people talking about “teabagging” are lefties.

A few of the neocons have tried to jump in front of the parade, but the simple fact is that people like Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich don’t have the influence to get this kind of turnout. This is about liberty, and the Tea Party rejects both wings of the Ruling Party.

The lefties are hoping that if they can just slap the “fox news” label on us, that the protests will go away. That’s wishful thinking, just like wishing that you could make a depression go away by increasing the national debt.

Here is a quote from a man who actually stood by his beliefs and followed them, even when they were not popular:

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

That was said by Ghandi. Mock us, fine. We’re only a year away from a New Congress after you fight us.

Another good strategy: selectively assuming historical political trends will automatically save your party for you.

Tea parties are Pet Rocks. They’re Beanie Babies and Vanilla Ice. Sorry – this is going to sputter out. Mark my words.

Many had the same opinion until 1994.

You’re spot on. George Bush and Karl Rove sacrificed their party’s long-term viability for short-term political success, and now they’re happily collecting speaking fees and cashing Fox News paychecks. They basically turned the rest of the Republican Party into a group of mindless cheerleaders, and now that they’ve skipped town, the cheerleaders have no one to cheer for.

It would take some honesty and a capability and willingness to reflect and be critical of oneself to realize that this is what they’ve become, but that’s obviously not going to be happening anytime soon. No one likes to admit that they got suckered, after all.

This is just weird.

Tell me, when was the last time you saw groups of conservatives all over America uniting for a big protest like this?

Well we did just have an epic, 18-month long campaign where people of all political leanings met at daily political rallies all over the country. This seems similar, only less organized and more infrequent.

Yaaaaaaaawwwwwwnn.

You know what? I can’t wait for 2010, either. With the numbers I’m seeing showing up at these protests, I’m pretty sure Democrats are gonna get the smackdown.

And Levi…I love how you guys are against wiretapping but FOR speed cameras. Tell me, when was the last time you saw groups of conservatives all over America uniting for a big protest like this?

Please, please! You’re Republicans. What are doing pointing to George W. Bush and his failures? Stay off our turf, gay patriots!

you’re still looking at a year and a half until the next election, where if anything, Republicans are likely to lose even more seats. Tea parties are Pet Rocks. They’re Beanie Babies and Vanilla Ice. Sorry – this is going to sputter out.

They will refuse to believe it until it happens. Even if they wanted to chart a new course, the Republican Party, and its even nastier gay patriot wing, wouldn’t know how to do it. They’ve systematically excluded reasonable voices, nearly to the vanishing point. All that’s left is the bitter detrius of failure, but it controls the machinery.

I think you’ll see a continuing string of election defeats until the Republicans hit rock bottom, with 100-120 seats in the House and maybe 25 or so in the Senate. And then they’ll just sit there until ongoing defeat finally causes them to change.

As a lifelong terrible leftist, I’m going to cook myself a nice big batch of popcorn and enjoy the movie!

Anyone that hasn’t spent the last eight years in a coma would have known that there would be some sort of overblown reaction by the conservatives in the wake of Obama’s election. And really, this is nothing new, we’ve been seeing this stuff from you guys for years. Do you really think you’re switching it up? You were just as furious and prone to hyperbole during last year’s presidential campaign, just as you were in response to liberal criticism of Bush’s war, torture, wiretapping policies, and whatever else. If you guys think you’re turning over a new leaf, you’re not. You’re just not.

Something else I thought of today. I’ve been accused of secretly being either extremely nervous or incredibly terrified by the tea parties. This seems to be the new, stock response to liberals that’s been settled upon in the age of Obama, replacing the Bush-era retort of ‘You have Bush Derangement Syndrome!!! You have Bush Derangement Syndrome!!!’ What’s really going on, if I may, is that it’s you guys who are nervous, you guys who are afraid, that all of this shouting and all of this to-do is going to be greeted with a big, fat YAWN. You guys are scrambling for relevance, and at the end of the day you’re still looking at a year and a half until the next election, where if anything, Republicans are likely to lose even more seats. Tea parties are Pet Rocks. They’re Beanie Babies and Vanilla Ice. Sorry – this is going to sputter out. Mark my words.

Do you have any idea how utterly ridiculous you guys look?

Any more ridiculous than “fainting” in the presence of “the messiah”? Any more ridiculous than electing the LEAST qualified candidate? Any more ridiculous than electing a blithering idiot with ZERO interest in his background or accomplishments? Any more ridiculous than electing a blithering idiot who buries you in debt? Any more ridiculous than electing a blithering idiot who takes over private companies “for the greater good”?

I can hardly wait!

Just like you’re still waiting for the 110th Congress to carry out their promisses?

I’m curious as to why the HuffPlaig needs “citizen journalists” when they can just swipe other people’s news stories, insert their own headlines and revel in the accolades of the brainless lemmings who love them.
