I admit it. I was a skeptic during the first round of tea party protests. I didn’t think many people would come out; that the protests were a flash-in-the-pan, CNBC phenomenon pushed as part of the Ron Paul movement and lacking in broadbased support; and that the purported “attendees” on Facebook and elsewhere would be about as reliable as any other Facebook Event that didn’t promise free booze. I thought when the time came, few people would show up. Boy, was I wrong. Attendence at the Parties was impressive, with strong non-Paulite contingents. When my parents started talking about tea party protests this past Easter weekend, I realized how big the Movement had become… and how important April 15 might be, both for the movement as well as for the national agenda.
