And This is why they were a success - all of the people who feel alone and ignored have some hope now. They feel less alone less ignored - they feel slightly more empowered.
I watched msnbc - just to get various reactions from different stations - and they were mocking the protestors, mocking the entire idea of the tea parties. Had the Press Secretary on there who basically said the President was unconcerned and ignoring the entire thing. He was also quite mocking and dismissive of the American People who were speaking out against the govt. actions - not just Obama, but Bush, and Clinton and going back for quite a while now.
They also made a huge deal of the Texas senator who was speaking about Sovereignty - calling him a radical, and right wing nutjob - well, Texas isn't the only state that has made moves towards sovereignty - I believe the current count is 28 states. If they think he is standing all by himself - talking to himself - well, they need to check the facts.
I also caught the clip of the reporter (and I use that word loosely) from CNN - all I can say is "

What the media didn't seem to understand (or refused to listen to) is that this was not a Republicna "thing" - it was bipartisan, and it wasn't JUST about taxes - which is what they insisted on making it about (hence the CNN reporter going wiggy on that poor guy when he didn't give the answer she wanted).
The press coverage just confirmed what all those folks out there protesting were saying - the Government is not concerned about THEM but about how much money they can get and spend, and about how they can further their own agenda - and to heck with the American Public and the Constitution.
