These people protesting today are not typical protesters. Most have never protested in their life. They are average American’s from all walks of life…Democrat, Republican, Independent, etc. I just got back from the protest in my community and most of the people I met have never protested before. I protested back in the 70’s against the Vietnam war, so I am not totally new to this. I am actually a Democrat who voted for Hillary and then changed my vote to McCain out of concern that Obama would tax and spend us to death.

I have to say, I met the nicest people and their were no disruptions. Most had signs they carried, but none of this nonsense that is shown in this picture. One of the reasons I got disgusted with the protest movement was because it became more about being outrageous than actually standing up for something. I suspect this person in the picture is not really part of the TEA party protest, but someone who is there to discredit the movement. That’s a shame.
