Good point. I saw the previous one near my neighborhood. It was the lamest excuse for a demonstration I've ever seen. Mostly soccer moms with too much time and money on their hands.

Yeah, they didn't destroy or anything man! I mean, what protest is worth its salt if it doesn't destroy the property, or get arrested, or **** on the street and beat up people who disagree! In real protests, people die, places get trashed and the cops are out in riot gear! That's the only way to protest man, its like the best way! I mean, who will take a bunch of passive people seriously when they aren't burning the local businesses and destroying everything around them! Right on Drood!, they have no clue what reeeeeel pot headed brain dumb protestests are 'bout!
“There are legitimate journalistic reasons for why there’s less coverage this time around,” said Seton Motley, a spokesman for the conservative Media Research Center — a group that blasted CNN and MSNBC personalities for joking about the April 15 Tea Parties. “There aren’t as many rallies this time, and there was a novelty last time that isn’t there now.
You wish it were true, Dukester, you wish it were true.
I went to a Tea Party on the 4th, as did thousands of other Americans.
Enough is enough, and we aren't going away (and neither is Palin — how fitting that she chose such a historic time of year to announce she was heading in another direction.
What's ironic about all these brain-cell-challenged yahoos' rhetoric--Obama is a socialist fascist tyrant bent on the total destruction of all that is holy and American--is that it is in fact the ideologies they support: market fundamentalism; free trade; and American exceptionalism, that have brought America to its knees and prematurely ended the era of American hegemony.

Is this some sort of Flop correlation being suggested'
Reads like a dud to me if the first one had anything going for it. http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=32506
As government spending has ballooned, along with the threat of much higher taxes, the Tea Parties’ attendees promise to surpass the number that turned out in the first round of protests on April 15 -- Tax Day -- when hundreds of thousands of Americans protested in over 800 cities.
The actual attendance reads like a broken promise.

Lots of steam in Albuquerque yesterday. I did not drive down, but they had a turnout of 7000 according to the paper.
Hmmm you sure about that? Can you post a link to corroborate? Were you counting the people there for the 4th parade. Here is a local news link countering your undocumented numbers. I suggest you post a link to counter mine.
