Which is one of the reasons that I comment on this blog.<br /><br />However, it has been extremely difficult to ascertain the motivations of the Tea Party participants, and what I have heard was either absurdly incorrect, overtly racist, and hate mongering. In other words it more closely resembled a KKK meeting that a political rally.<br /><br />There are people willing to listen to your ideas, but the mixture that is now trendy at these events give us pause. If you can not understand the concern then you have blinders on. These rallies have attracted too many fringe elements and talking points to be valid to mainstream media hence their lack of coverage.<br /><br />Drop the hate, bone up on some facts, focus on your message, and people will listen. Continue the hateful scattershot process that has become typical for these Right winged fares, and get ignored.<br /><br />It really is as simple as that. Oh and please call me out to provide you with some links about what the heck I'm talking about. You seem to visit YouTube there are plenty there to offend most Americans.<br /><br />Clean it up people.<br />Rick BeagleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-601874105598784590.post-33176017657923153652009-07-11T09:44:03.613-04:002009-07-11T09:44:03.613-04:00We also had a july 4th tea party in Rome N.Y.

Our speakers spoke on the Fed, cap and trade, health care (a canadian spoke on this), apathy, how to run for office, taxes, and many other topics. We had 14 speakers. We had ours on the green at city hall. The mayor and city were very supportive. It does seem that the press did not cover the events very well. I think we need to crank up the noise and get noticed. you can check ours out on you tube 13440patriots.mjerorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04915913378450248381noreply@blogger.com
