This Day In Tea Party History, The Sunday Edition Round-Up

Potential Republican-Presidential-candidate-wanna-bes had a field day this pre-tax day weekend, polishing their tea party credentials.

As Sarah Palin spoke at a tax day rally outside the Wisconsin Capitol in Madison, hundreds of pro-union labor supporters held their own protest.

Tim Pawlenty did double duty this tax day weekend. A stop at (where else, but) an Iowa tea party rally where he pledged he would cut the budget deficit in half during his first term. He evidently didn’t go into specifics about what he would do in his second term… Then off to Boston, where the thanked the tea party crowd for being “modern day Paul Reveres.”

Michele Bachmann used her appearance in front of a tea party rally in South Carolina to spout some incoherence about how the Libyan opposition is a front for Hezbollah and Al Qaeda. You’ll have to read it for yourself, and no, it won’t help you understand it any better.

Donald Trump picked Boca Raton, Florida for his tea party weekend appearance. The emphasis is mine:

"Most very successful people, the kind of people that we need running our country, don't want to be scrutinized and abused," he said. "This is the kind of person that this country must have right now."

Huh???

More fun and games tomorrow, on actual tax day tomorrow, I’m sure.
