   I still don’t get the point of the tea parties. People getting together to talk about how they don’t like taxes – so what? Who does?

   There are a bunch of people on the Circle in Georgetown carrying signs like “Its the Constitution Stupid”. Didn’t feel interested enough to ask whether or not they were a Tea Party. There were no couples who appeared gay, and the men were talking a lot about how hot Hispanic chicks from Argentina are. Must have been a GOP bunch.

   I stuck to the script, cut out two paragraphs bashing the state GOP, and was so nervous that my slow spoken 20 minute speech was over in 12 minutes.

   I motormouthed through it.

   This is a crowd that was offended when I said “hell.”

   They basically let WGMD do the advertising for the Georgetown party, and Facebook to do the rest.

    Thanks lg, his name took me to the LP site. I thought Brian might have given up blogging.

    Been thinking about quitting the blogging, honestly.

    I figured if I was making comments on behalf of the LP, I would link to our site.

    How do you think it went Brian? Good feedback?

    Comment by Brian Shields on 2 July 2009 at 4:28 pm:

    I had some people say it was a good speech. feedback was minimal during the speech. they liked the misrepresentation talk, didn’t like what I had to say about Dover, and eyes glossed over by the time I went to the healthcare.

    I’m pretty amused by the idea of these militia types being so offended when someone says “hell.”

    Comment by Brian Shields on 2 July 2009 at 9:05 pm:

    They weren’t militia types. I would say it was 90% over the age of 65. I was the youngest one there for some time, until I saw that someone brought their children.

    Honestly, if you hold a protest at noon on a weekday, who else do you expect to show?
