Brave Tea Party protesters risk it all this Saturday at noon, outside the Capitol.
The big Tea Party event, at the east wing of the Capitol and King St. at noon, will show their support for their administrative genius, Scott Walker. Big money is busing in the tea party from around the state, compliments of Americans for Prosperity.

Joe the Plumber wasn't a major draw last time, with only a few hundred protesters showing just one day over a month long protest. So to rev things up, Sarah Palin agreed to make an appearance. But even that didn't prevent the organizers from hedging their bets by playing the fear card. No event would be worth attending unless tea party members weren’t victimized by loud angry liberal thugs.:


The liberals are planning to drown us out, claiming that it is “their house.” Let’s show them that it’s the taxpayers-NOT the tax spenders who actually pay the bills to keep the Capitol running.


Yeah, that's what liberals would say....Great word play too but a little outdated, by a few decades. Even back then, Democrats spent tax money on public services. But since then, government has cut through the bone. Did you notice any change in the rhetoric about government spending over the last decade? Which should tell you something about the substance of their movement? There will never be a bottom low enough for these bottom feeders........................

1. They would probably just accuse you of assaulting them
underneath the palm trees. :)

May as well stay away.
