Letter: Where were protests against Bush?


Congratulations to the tea party people, for running such a well organized event. I was wondering though, why didn’t you show up when George W. Bush took the budget surplus from the previous administration, and flushed it down the toilet by giving his wealthy friends a big tax break? Why didn’t the tea baggers show up, when W trampled all over the Constitution with his warrantless wire taps? And why didn’t they show up when he even authorized torturing people and suspending the Habeas Corpus Act? That means imprisoning without trial.

Maybe you’re not really tea baggers. Maybe you just hate Democrats, or just Obama. I hope for your sake it’s not a racial thing.
