NYC Tea Party

The NYC Tea Party was fairly well -attended. I would have liked to see a thousand people, but it is New York--that bastion of liberalism--after all. The crowd was varied as far as age, but I have to say that minorities were a little underrepresented. On the other hand, one speaker urged the audience not to adjust their cameras, because he was, in fact, a black Republican.

Aside from Obama himself, the politician who seemed to get the most attention was Charles Shumer for his quote that the American people don't care about the "porky" provisions of the stimulus bill. (This group didn't care about the stimulus portions of the pork bill.)

TAXATION BY AN INELIGIBLE PRESIDENT IS TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.

NO BIRTH CERTIFICATE -- WHO IS HE TO TAKE LAYERS AND LAYERS OF NEW TAXES FROM HARD WORKING AMERICANS?
