And if you watch all the way through, I would say these are not disgruntled McCain voters. These people are tired of ALL politicians. You have to watch this -

Quickly looking, I don't see any posts on the topic. And of course you're not going to find it in the MSM. How about the Fair Tax plan - faritax.org? That plan would do one thing immediately, take the power away from our egotistical politicians (Republicans and Democrats) and it scares the hell out of them. Or how about this - http://www.freedomworks.org/scrapthecode/articles.php There's several articles on tax reform there. I tend to disagree that this is a Republican thing. Just because CNN says so doesn't make it so. It's disgusting how they reported the Tea Parties, calling them anit-government and anti-CNN. Poor little old CNN is getting it's feelings hurt. This is about citizens being fed up about paying more than their far share (the top one-half of wage earners in America will soon be paying 100% of all income tax) and being fed up the wasteful spending of our government. And that includes Republicans - government spending under the Bush Administration was ridiculous. This country will not survive if radical changes aren't made to the way it's ran.

Obviously this writer (and the previous responder) was not at the rally I attended. As an elder, I was delighted to see so many patriots of various backgrounds & ages gathered to speak out to ALL Politicians of every ilk, that we've had bellyfull of out of control government growing like a cancer on the very foundations of our country. Those self-righteous blowhards who choose to belittle and judge this movement of hard working, loyal, tax-paying American citizens need to first shut up and LISTEN with an open mind. You are completely missing the whole point! What I experienced was Democracy in Action an I'm proud that I participated! What a crock of bologna!

These "parties" were really republican led initiatives to produce some news because Rush wasn't helping. The fact that many people complain or grumble about what he's doing wrong (especially most all Republicans) without making any effort to provide a better solution is what's wrong with this country. Make news by producing a better, more efficient product and not just talking about how poor someone else's is... isn't that business 101?
