According to the rah-rah cheerleader website for the teabaggers, there were about 750 protests with an attendance nationwide of possibly as many as 544,000 lost souls. The nonpartisan sources say it was probably more like 312,000, but whatever. For the sake of argument, let's go with the optimistic 544,000 estimate.
In the 2008 election, a total of 129,438,754 votes were cast for either Obama or Top Gun. Meaning the teabaggers, who are supposedly an important national protest movement, attracted roughly 0.42 percent of last year's presidential vote. Hell, they attracted less than one percent (0.91) of Ace's share. So let the teabaggers have their fun, but let's keep things in perspective.
My bro in Houston said the collective total brain energy of the Texas secessionists wouldn't charge a AAA battery. He might as well have been talking about the teabaggers.
