Tea Party St. Louis

One fun thing to watch today is the "fake" tea party. This is not a grassroots deal, but an organized effort by GOP. They are testing the waters to see what issues will connect to the American public and tax policy has always been GOP favored issue. In Missouri, there are 14 locations having a demonstration. 750 events in 50 states planned and Fox news has been promoting these for months. Some of GOP planners are taking a page from Obama's playbook and trying an internet recruiting drive by using facebook and twitter. Maybe they wish to compete with Move On folks?

Last month, there was a tea demonstration at the Arch and it got great news coverage. That was a test by the way to guage public support and media coverage.

Here is details and will no doubt have heavy news coverage. I am surprised no demonstrations at St. Charles, Mexico or Farmington. There is one at Cape Girardeau at 5 PM.

By the way, most folks dislike having tax monies wasted; not just the conservatives. The Ides of April (though technically the Ides of April is the 13th) is not a happy time for many folks
