Had thought about bringing my Confederate Battle Flag but am concerned about detracting from the message of the day. Will bring the Palmetto State flag instead. I believe the Confederate flag will send the wrong message to the ignorant and ill-informed, and recommend against displaying it.

You should bring the rebel flag. It shows states right and history behind the state. I would bring it!

We are going down the road to Socialism......we need to put up some road blocks.
at 17:01 on April 3rd, 2009
Hope it's a huge turnout. I am bringing my daughter and 2 granddaughters. Since they will be the ones spending their lives paying the porkulous and trying to maintain whatever freedoms we have left. We are making some cute tea party shirts and signs, we need some positive vibes. Hope to see you there.

The conservative Republican argument against stimulus spending is pure hypocracy. And Sanford is South Carolina's lead hypocrite. Remember, by supporting every one of Bush's spending bills, Republicans gave tax breaks to the wealthy, allowed Wall St. and CEOs to run amok, and raised the national debt to historic levels. Under Bush's leadership, they also destroyed the middle class and our economy. Now that the Democrats are in power, Republicans are suddenly born-again fiscal conservatives, and they are using your fears to their advantage. Governor Sanford panders to his conservative base and puts his own political future above the good people and the state of South Carolina. Our governor would rather keep us poor, desperate, and dumb. If any state could use federal stimulus dollars, it is South Carolina. Federal spending is the only way to reverse a recession. With high unemployment, states in desperate need, and failing business and industry, no federal spending equals Depression. What Sanford and the other hypocrites fail to mention is that we and our grandchildren will be spending our futures paying off Bush's debt anyway.

SCREW YOU Carol A. YOU F"N LIBERAL DEMI. TRY BEING A PATRIOT TO YOUR COUNTRY FOR ONCE AND TURN OFF YOUR DAMN TELEVISION. YOU PROBABLY HAVEN'T WORKED A HARD DAY IN YOUR LIFE OBAMABOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Please read the TOS and No Flaming policy. This is not a blog it is a news site where one may disagree with ones opinion but not attack the writer. Name calling is Out here completely. Argue the points don't attack the individual.

"...poor, desperate and dumb..." You speak of yourself. Are you one of those who think we in the South are barefoot as well?
Stupidity may be unavoidable. Ignorance is not. Educate yourself.
at 21:06 on April 13th, 2009
I beg of you Carol, educate yourself and escape the liberal infested ditch you now apparently find yourself in. If you were to read anything other than the NYTimes you would know conservatives were anything but pleased with the spending Republicans facilitated and enabled. I'm sure many, many people that will attend the Tea Party were extremely disappointed. You, on the other hand, were either elated with the Bush spending or just upset because you had to toe the moron line and "hate Bush" for everything. Either way, you should be ashamed - but you're not. It takes a certain level of intelligence to enable self awareness and analysis. You obviously don't have it.
I would continue but I honestly feel sorry for you. May the Intelligence God swoop down and endow you with a little of his goodness.

With blinders on you can only see the carrot you can't throw good money after bad funny how everywhere I look I see work jobs are their if you want one it may not be the one you want right now but they are there.And about this federal spending if you scale down to mabe one tenth of these goverment (talk a good game and spend everything in sight for themself people) I don't think we'll need any money so shut up and get back to work and stop trying to ruin this country !

Carol,
If federal spending is the only way to reverse a recession why aren't the Chinese "investing" in this recovery effort by acquiring more US bonds? Thomas Sowell uncovers the truth about this historical lie that federal spending will reverse a recession in his most recent editorial, Magic Words in Politics.
The Chinese are no fools. They know that all this unbridled spending-- even when it is called "investment"-- means that inflation is coming. That in turn means that the dollars with which U.S. government bonds will be paid off will be worth a lot less than the dollars with which the bonds were bought.
Governments around the world have played this game for centuries, robbing those who trusted them enough to buy their bonds. Like Bernard Madoff, they call it "investment."
Inflation also means that all the talk about how higher taxes will be confined to "the rich" is nonsense. Inflation is a hidden tax that takes away the value of money held by everyone at every income level.
Please remember Carol to attack the argument and not the arguer. This is a basic fallacy in logic. Let's elevate the discussion beyond the constant campaign chatter. The Republican executive branch failed us with excessive spending as did the 535 legislators on capital hill. But tripling down on the same mistake is utter madness.

Carol:
That's EXACTLY why the GOP got turned out. My husband and I had been complaining for about 3 years that we sent them to DC to rein in the spending, but they were out-stripping the Dems! The message we (hubby and I) want to send to all our so-called leaders is: stop spending beyond our means. Stop incurring debt, stop raising our taxes, stop this 'government can solve everything' mindset. Our federal government is a voracious behemoth crushing American initiative and hope. Get the government out of my way and give me the freedom to succeed on my own.
As for the above poster mentioning the Confederate battle flag, I agree. If any previous American flag is appropriate, it would be the Gadsden flag (coiled rattlesnake with 'Don't Tread On Me').
And Mark Sanford and Mitt Romney can posture all they want - I intend to vote Libertarian from now on. The GOP sold out and became 'Democrat Lite''. Now let them reap the consequences.

I was disappointed with President Bush and his economic policy. A conservative does not bail out companies who make poor decisions. I often wonder if the GOP bailed folks out because they realized that they pushed the pendulum way to far on deregulation. Both parties had a roll in this. There was legislation under both Republican and Democrat presidents in Congress. It is disingeniunius when you say you are fiscal conservative and capitalist and bail out and make government larger. Homeland security was probably necessary following 911 but other spending was way outside of responsibility.

Yeah, a teabaging! I want to teabag Deminted first. Nice to see he has TWO MILLION DOLLARS in campaign contribtions years before his election. He isn't working for you. I will be there in Columbia, taking pictures of all you fools to post to web sites. I will bring contracts down so that Sanford and Demint will sign away their federal pensions. I will bring some for you losers too, so you can forfeit Social Security and Medicade when you age or get ill.
The Boston Tea Party was about taxation without represtentation. So having a governor and senator at this staged event is completely hilarious, they are the ones that tax AND represent.
at 13:43 on April 14th, 2009
Yes King George
I,ll tell you what,Our Governor and Sen DeMint have more balls than any Congressman or Senator in Washington from both parties.
You Dems have been running both housed for 2 years and 4 months now and you want to beat up on Bush. Plenty of blame to go around so what makes you think the Dems are going to save this country. And remember what Obama promised to get you dumb asses to vote for him,one of the many lies he keeps telling. NO MORE BENCHMARKS.
Well Shaw AFB got a benchmark for $11.5 million to build a barracks for 155 personnel and our troops in IRAQ including my grandson have been and are now presently living in rooms made out of CONEX shipping containers. Insulting to spend our tax $$$$$ for a barracks for that kind of money. Additionally its a so called GREENS gobal warming building.
So come on OBAMA , and you Dems. See why we, the good guys are having a tea party to try and save this country.
at 20:37 on April 18th, 2009
Your upset because our barracks were tin cans and block buildings... how do you harden a soldier when he has air conditioning LOL
at 20:35 on April 18th, 2009
DeMint is up for election in 2010 and the figure is no where near 2 million. Where did that number come from more like 200K
at 14:19 on April 14th, 2009
Don't forget the tea bags!!!!!

See the photo of the two Woman who wore TeaRings to the Columbia Tax Day Tea Party. They were proud of their idea and wanted our photographer to capture the moment. Will they catch on?

I don't have a lot of numbers to quote,But i do have a heart. And that is something I am not seeing in our government today. Why do they thing they know what is rite for me? I know that I have paid my fairshare of taxes and all I do is worry about what the government is doing with it. I really don't would like to see someone who feels what the common folksfeel get into office.It seems that if your not a millionaire or billionaire you don't have anything to say. Well Ifor one am tired of it,and am going to as many tea parties as I can. We need to take our government back,so it can serve the people not the rich and famous. I'm sorry but I just have a bad taste in my mouth about everything that is going on in washington. Thier needs to be a big makeover up there! Get the elitist out of there and put some down home folks in thier. Thanks for letting me air.
