Tax Day Tea Party Protest - Tampa Florida 4/15/09 Noon #1b

[82Pumpkinfarms]

"Tea Party" is a Big Lie. It's not the simple 1700s. We now have millions of life-saving water-food-air-safety, police, military, etc. provided by "big government" (We The People). During the real Tea Party there were no freeways, bridges nor school that allow real tax-paying patriots to work & contribute to the superior progress this nation has. I've never whined about paying taxes as without regulations many of us wouldn't be here. Due to Cheney's deregulations the Gulf is an oil pool."

The Tea Party DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ME.

The Tea Party DOES NOT SPEAK FOR TAMPA.

The Tea Party DOES NOT SPEAK FOR FLORIDA.

The Tea Party DOES NOT SPEAK FOR THE UNITED STATES.

great... "the end of the intellectuals is near"... now comes the rise of stupid Americans... wait! we already have that!

[Terie1988MB]

be an american and fight for whats important(your freedom) if you cant fight for that then you must not be a real american take whats yours fuck the government they wanna change the bill of rights and and bring in new government orders stop them before they get a hold of you

[SkyDaddy7]

The GOP needs to drop the religious crap as well...The gay marriage stance; women's rights; global warming; anti-science in public schools; anti scientific research like Embryonic Stem Cells; etc...Until they move into the mainstream on issues like this then they will remain watching from the sidelines. Sorry!

[SkyDaddy7]

Listen this is not a political view it is a matter of smart investing...If you just deal out huge tax cuts like Bush did the money goes to Asia...The 80's were totally different. Back then it made sense to to invest here in USA as that was the best return on your money, noe that best return is in Asia. Have you not seen all the companies moving to Asia? Obama is willing to give Corp. tax breaks for those who invest in USA! Read what Warren Buffet & Bill Gates say...You are being mislead!

[SkyDaddy7]

One last thing...If Obama had come into office and decided to let the economy take care of itself do you think we would be better off? If so, you have not thought it through...Nor have you read history and what works to ease recession and what makes it worse. Tax Breaks do not do what they may have done decades ago...When I get extra money it is invested in ASIA...And that is where other people & companies invest their money today. The Return on Investment is far higher...Don't be FOXED!

[SkyDaddy7]

As far as GOP wanting Americans to work hard and gov out of lives is yet another delusion! GOP wants get involved in marriage, public school & religion; reckless deregulation; and many other ways...Both parties meddle with our lives or they would not be doing their jobs. If you think GOP is about gov out of your life you meet my description of being "InFOXicated"

The past election spoke very clear as to what the majority wanted and they are getting it!

[SkyDaddy7]

The reason I bring up FOX is it is very relevant to why you "think" what you do...If Republicans were just about what you say then I think they would still be in power. The GOP wroks folks like you with Religion and this idea that Liberals are not for self determination...Which is BS!

Ratings on cable are only good for cable news companies...They do not determine the political mood of the country...This is another delusion FOX viewers have. If it were true then Obama would not be POTUS!

[coffeefish]

Silent Majority No More!

Don't let them give all our tax money to support programs for illegal immigrants from Mexico.

[SkyDaddy7]

Look out for ALL Americans? WHATEVER!

You are "InFOXicated" and the shrinking minority in this country.

SORRY! But reality and truth hurts!

[xiilmaticx06]

by always means it is selling out and selfish motives....and the truth is republicans dont want failure....but there policies do not favor lower and middle class america no need to really put race in it.....and its just that this man was im sure lowerclass at one point being an older african american in america.....and i wont generalize this man becaue i dont know him but any black republican i know from my area is sucessful but doesnt do anything to help his community

[modsax]

I don't live in a gated community. I live and work in the community I grew up in. I am very involved in my community.

[xiilmaticx06]

its just a huge sellout from black people perspectives there is a chance that this guy could really feel like this....but my dad is a former state congressmen and he said some republican tried to bribe him to join the party.....just for black votes.....and honestly most republicans dont look out for black america at all...its like this guy has to remember just not his self but the community he grew up in.....and i doubt it was some gated community

[modsax]

You also have to understand the the Dem. has assumed the black vote for years. Bribing someone is bad for sure but using them for 40 years is bad as well. We all have to start thinking for ourselves.

[angielovesfun]

I am so proud of my home city of Tampabay. Thank you to everyone who attended. I was very touched how people united. He is right we have to make phone calls, sign petitions, anything with in legal limits, and Pray to God will hear our prayers. Peace to all.

[HossGuv]

Wow. Willie Lawson was awesome! Thank you for speaking your mind!

[marymi43]

^------ "right wing extremist" who was there. It was a great day to be an AMERICAN!! I am looking forward to the next one!

[MrJayy7]

did you guys look up into the sky on this day...

[ricksteuart]

I'm proud of you!!! You were excellent! (knocked 'em out, huh).  I'm sure you moved yourself WAY up on the DHS list! I wish I could have attended in person, but I was there in spirit. It is time to let our government know that they serve at our pleasure, not vice versa. Though some media are ignoring these events, and others are trying to mis-characterize them, I think the message will get through. Whether our arrogant leadership listens and understands is another matter entirely however.

[racdragon339]

I really wish I could've been there today. How was your epxerience there?

[Spansl]

We were there at 5pm. We estimated 1,500 to 2,000 people were there and everyone was jazzed about being there and getting our message out! Enough is Enough! No one who needs to hear us is listening now. This will be a battle of endurance and numbers. Be there next time because we need you!
