Tea Party Not a Factor in Tuesday's Elections
From all the media attention they have garnered for the last year, it seems the reality is that the teabagger movement is not as powerful as they try to make themselves out to be. Sarah Palin is getting herself in trouble with the teabaggers. She just endorsed the Republican Senatorial candidate in California, Carli Fiorina and the teabaggers are pisses at her. None of the teabag party candidates won on Tuesday's House and Senate primaries. All the incumbents won.

Glenn Clark is a BIG FAT LIAR!!!
Last night outside our private event in Rochester Hills, the Teabaggers held a rally along Rochester Road. Of course, the media didn't bother to come inside to hear Congressman Gary Peters address his constituents about health care. I guess the protesters were a better story.
However, what the corporate media didn't bother to report are the lies that Glenn Clark, Republican 9th Congressional District Chair, fed to the eager lapdogs at Fox News. Glenn said the Democratic health care plan was a "government takeover" of health care. That's a lie. In fact, as currently written, America's health insurance companies stand to get 30 million new customers.
Glenn also said the "health care scheme" is going to take away our health care rights and options. LIE! Come on, Glenn. Can't you tell the truth just once?
Glenn also seemed to imply that under the Democratic plan we might not be able to see specialists. LIE! Why doesn't the corporate media challenge these lies from Republicans?

12 Teabaggers Protest Auto Show
If there was any doubt that the teabaggers are not representing the majority of Americans and Michiganians, only the organizer was there after 45 minutes. A couple dozen people finally joined the protest, but certainly not an overwhelming showing from the group that only last summer was able to bring thousands out to protest. Apparently the teabaggers are at war between the various factions of teabaggers.
Now, it looks like the teabaggers are having a convention and it costs $549 to attend at a fancy hotel in Nashville. Sounds like the tea parties have become a profit making venture, more than a grassroots political movement.

New Mexico Teabaggers Are Now Armed at Rally
This looks like a dangerous trend, teabaggers bringing guns to tea parties. The confluence of the 1st and 2nd Amendments in New Mexico looks like a dangerous development.
"Nearly 350 right-wing protestors crowded a New Mexico town’s busiest intersection yesterday to protest President Obama’s supposed anti-gun agenda and the “government takeover of our health care system.” While the event mostly looked like any other recent right-wing rally — complete with signs reading “replace the communists in DC” and “the sky is falling! A black man is president!” — what set this protest apart was that there “were plenty of handguns and rifles displayed.”
The local Tea Party and a group called the Second Amendment Task Force (2ATF, a reference to the ATF, which enforces gun laws) encouraged people to bring guns to the event in Alamogordo, NM, in order to “put a positive light on gun ownership,” said 2ATF’s founder Dan Woodruff. While the two protests were technically separate, they were planned together for the same day in adjacent locations. Otero Tea Party Patriots coordinator Don Omey said he was “proud” of the gun-toters. “That’s what we need to turn some minds around,” Omey said. Under New Mexico law, it’s legal for anyone over the age of 19 to open-carry a holstered firearm in most public places.
And while there was no violence during the event, one protestor wearing a Tea Party shirt said his loaded gun was a “very open threat” to anyone who might “try to take over the country completely as a socialist communist [state].”
