35,000 People Show Up For Tea Party in Texas!
If this kind of growth continues, there will come a point where the media will be absolutely unable to ignore the Tea Party movement. Kudos to the Dallas Morning news for reporting this:
“The withering heat kept away early crowds, but as many as 35,000 eventually showed for the speeches, music and night-time fireworks, organizers said.”
“I was standing on the stage and couldn’t see the end of the people,” said Debbie Meyers, president of the event-planning business Bravo Entertainment.”
For anyone who still thinks the Tea Party movement is a secret arm of the GOP, chew on this…
“Republican Sen. John Cornyn was booed at the start and close of his remarks assailing federal spending and taxes, the Austin paper reported.”
“Many shouts concerned Cornyn voting last year for the federal bailout of Wall Street approved by Congress, the Troubled Asset Relief Program.”
“You’re the problem!” one crowd member hollered. “You voted for TARP,” yelled another, probably referring to the Troubled Asset Relief Program.”
It’s also interesting to note that Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit is running a poll today which asks some interesting questions about Sarah Palin and the Tea Party party. Be sure to check it out and vote.
