Btw, readers, the FIRST Boston Tea Party was a FALSE FLAG OPERATION by COLONISTS DRESSED UP as INDIANS!
Yeah, that part of American history goes WAY BACK since before 9/11 and is GENERALLY CONCEALED in your school books.

"Tea Party shows its muscle in Bay State" by Stephanie Ebbert, Globe Staff | January 21, 2010
The Tea Party movement that stoked antitax protests from Seattle to Washington, D.C., found its inspiration in Revolutionary-era Massachusetts. And this week it helped fuel a modern political revolt right here on the turf of its tea-dumping forbears.
The anger driving this loose coalition of activists, united by a distrust of government, helped vault a little-known Republican state lawmaker into the Senate seat held for 47 years by liberal icon Edward M. Kennedy.... Several Tea Party activists now are considering candidacies for state representative and state auditor, as well as Congress....
I can already hear the GIANT SUCKING SOUND of ANOTHER CONTROLLED-OPPOSITION MOVEMENT SELLING OUT!
The Republican version of MoveOn. Who is right, readers.
But many are focused on just making a statement, rather than building a viable third political party.
EXPOSED!
“I guess it’s just a way to vent our frustration, to make our voice heard,’’ said Barbara Klain, who cofounded the Greater Lowell Tea Party with a bunch of signs and no e-mail address....
Well, you can DO WHAT I'M DOING FOR THAT!! Why do you think I STARTED doing THIS!?
Anyhow, maybe you can go down to the Repug meetings and sell the Ron Paul platform because they don't like to see me coming. No one does.
The FEW, the PROUD, the ONE-PERCENTERS of MASSACHUSHITTS!
Until recently, the Tea Party movement had not seemed to be surging in Massachusetts.
I know why that is now; Globe rarely ventures outside its liberal Boston bubble for anything. Sad, really, because all they do is sell an agenda hoping the public will buy in. It's not a newspaper anymore. It's a promotion sheet for a very select set of interests that rhymes with you-know-whos.
Just when I think my opinion or outlook on the Globe can't go any lower, I buy another paper at Apu's.
Activists in Boston, Worcester, and Lowell held protests on tax day, April 15, like their compatriots. Some joined a Sept. 12 protest in Washington, D.C. But....
the Globe was too busy bashing them and playing the controlled opposition game. You DO NOT GET INTO the AmeriKan MSM papers WITHOUT being one!!!
Brown was not a perfect fit for the Tea Party platform, an amalgam of antigovernment complaints that coalesce around issues of shrinking government and preventing national health care reform.
Don't you love the Globe boiling it all down for you?
In a scorching analysis circulated a week before the election, Massachusetts small-government activists Michael Cloud and Carla Howell tried to dissuade Tea Party voters from supporting Brown, noting that as a legislator he had supported health care reform in Massachusetts and urged voters to defeat their popular but unsuccessful 2008 ballot question to eliminate the income tax. “Scott Brown is the worst fake tax-cutter in the Massachusetts legislature,’’ they wrote. “And a fake ally is more dangerous than an open enemy.’’
Yup, MY PEOPLE!!!!
And MY CANDIDATE!
Senate candidate Joseph L. Kennedy, a 38-year-old Libertarian from Dedham who was a Tea Party enthusiast before he was a candidate for the Senate against Brown, thinks he should have been the beneficiary of the activists’ fervor. “The people in the tea parties sold their own soul,’’ Kennedy said....
Yeah, THAT'S RIGHT!! That's what a CONTROLLED OPPOSITION IS!

WASHINGTON - Scott Brown’s Senate victory Tuesday sent shock waves through the Massachusetts congressional delegation, many members of which saw key communities in their districts vote overwhelmingly Republican.
Oh, FINALLY GET THEIR ARROGANT ATTENTION, did they?
Democrats and Republicans said the results foretell a surge of two-party competition in districts that haven’t seen serious challenges in years, as the state’s exclusively Democratic roster of 10 representatives faces its 2010 reelection amid rising anger over the battered economy and the prolonged battle over the health care overhaul....

I can see some of you out there thinking, "Wow, this guy sure is angry at Democrats for being a Republican."
Well, YEAH!!!! AFTER 8 YEARS of the FIEFDOM of W, I thought that DEMOCRATS were OUR ONLY HOPE to be HEARD FOUR YEARS AGO and THEY HAVE BETRAYED and DISAPPOINTED!!
You bet I'm angry at them!! I DON'T EXPECT Repuglicans to LISTEN TO ME anymore, not after SHUTTING OUR MAN out of the CONVENTION HALL last year!
And Globe, you really have to get out of Boston more (and look at me way out here in a sea of blue):
Voters in affluent suburbs turned out in droves Tuesday to help Republican Scott Brown charge to his stunning upset win in the special US Senate election. Many voters in traditionally Democratic cities, meanwhile, stayed home, dooming the candidacy of Democrat Martha Coakley.
And the INDEPENDENTS?
The results confirm what all the preelection polls showed: The enthusiasm and energy were with the Brown insurgency.
Is "INSURGENCY" really the CORRECT TERM, Globe, or are you just showing us your bitter, liberal bias again?
The CHOICE of WORDS is STUNNING to me.
Statewide, turnout was about 54 percent of registered voters, roughly equal to a regular state election. Of the 27 towns with a turnout of 70 percent or higher on Tuesday, Brown carried 20, a Globe analysis shows. That includes wealthy bedroom communities such as Sherborn, Dover, Hingham, Cohasset, and Sudbury.
Coakley won in scattered spots where the turnout was exceptional, including Concord and Needham, one of the towns Brown represents in the state Senate. But the Coakley candidacy stumbled badly in the cities where Democrats typically roll up big margins. Of the 25 lightest-voting communities, 18 were cities, including Boston (43 percent), Worcester (42 percent), and Springfield (32 percent). The Merrimack Valley city of Lawrence, with a majority Latino population, had the lowest turnout in the state, at 28 percent.
Hate to say it, but it's all the illegals. Or youth, right?

Coakley won those urban areas but with depressed vote totals that could not offset Brown’s huge advantage in the suburbs.
Matches the depressed Democrats in this state.
In overwhelmingly Democratic Boston, Coakley pulled 69 percent of the vote, giving her a margin coming out of the city of about 59,000 votes. She rolled up huge margins in the predominantly black and Hispanic wards of the city, but the turnout was so light that it did not give her much of a lift.
The Republican swept large swaths of the state across Worcester County, the North and South shores, the Merrimack Valley, and most of Cape Cod. In Andover and North Andover, both of which went for Brown, traffic was backed up for a half-mile for long stretches as voters flocked to central polling places at the towns’ respective high schools....
“There’s a lot of frustration with what’s going on in Washington and what’s happening on Beacon Hill.’’
And ANGER! Don't leave out the ANGER because THAT is the ONLY THING that seems to get these guys to TAKE NOTICE!!!!!
WHY?!!!!!!!
