Why would Schwarzenegger and Nehring not be booed? It was a tax protest and Schwarzenegger just signed into law a 1% sales tax increase.

But it seemed like most of those there just don't think they should pay any taxes at all. The rest of them want to replace the constitution with the bible.

Why shouldn't racism and ignorance have it's own celebration. At least there was no noticeable violence.

Schwarzenegger and the Legislature passed the largest tax increase by any state in the nation's history, in addition to irresponsibly nickle-and-diming us after already being number one or high on the list of almost every category of taxation and still wanting more. We do not work for them. They don't get to pass every little whim they have. They would be more useful struck by lightning several times than passing any further legislation at this point. They need to be taken down, and all their laws need to be reversed.

Who cares where they were 5 years ago..they are here now...and the only clowns I know of are ones who seldom question there government as the ones who do not support the Tea Parties.

How can you have racism..when not all the people who attended the Tea parties were of only one race, or only of one political party or of only one religion?

I stand corrected. I saw 3 black people at the Sacramento rally.

But they may have just been passing through.

Your children's grandchildren, not mine as I have no kids.

I will say, however, that your party dug them a plenty deep enough hole, so much so that I do not care what happens to your descendants 100 years from now. If anyone is to blame, it is the Republicans that sat on their behinds for the last 8 years, so while you are pointing that finger, remember three are pointing back at you.

Or four, if you want to count your thumb, but it really doesn't point back at you, more of off to the side.

So your saying...blame the republicans...because what they did was wrong...yet...your approving of the dems doing the same...and worse?
