What If They Threw A Tea Party And No One Came?

From Think Progress:
With Fox News host Glenn Beck’s ratings down and the biggest tea party rally eclipsed by a recent pro-labor rally in Wisconsin, could the tea party be losing steam? One new sign: a big tea party convention in Tampa, FL this weekend — headlined by such conservative favorites as Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), Fox News Judge Andrew Napolitano, and former GOP Congressman Tom Tancredo — attracted only about 300 people. The Save America Convention’s website lists 25 guest speakers, meaning there was one speaker for every 12 attendees. If one includes the 13 musicians and other performers listed as entertainment, that ratio drops to one for every 7 and a half.
It only makes sense. Negative emotions are hard to maintain for long periods of time. In fact, I'm a little surprised they kept their hate up this long.

  1. I'm a little surprised you've kept your hate going as long as you have Chris.

    Then again, it's you.

  2. Dear CD,

    Hold your surprise. Their hate is still seething underneath their pasty white shriveled thin skins. In fact, their skin is so thin you can see the cavity where their hearts should be.....

    It's genetic, you see. Their strategy for resource acquisition is uber-selfish, which worked for many years but is now becoming anachronistic in today's more complex and crowded society.

    Virtually all of their actions stem from or are unduly influenced by their larger fear-centers in the brain. Historically, this may have made sense but alas, now they are virtually captives of their evolved characteristics.

    So I say, "Let them eat Hate".

    Are you predicting Walker won't be recalled?

    Greed and hate are negative.

    Fighting for one's rights is not. The fact that you can't see that this is about so much more than money is sad.
