Teabaggers are descending upon Capital Hill:

Thousands of Tea Party activists descended on Washington Thursday to protest the trillion dollar health care bill and government spending, holding signs protesting Barack Obama’s agenda while aiming chants of “you work for us” at the Capitol building. .

The gathering was organized by local Tea Party groups around the country, who are arriving in Washington this morning by the busload. Conservative leaders in Congress, led by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), have taken to the airwaves to encourage the activists to show up on the Capitol steps and demand meetings with members of Congress. The crowd grew to about 10,000 by noon. Bachmann has promised to lead some protesters to a press conference inside the Capitol to express their opposition to the health care bill in person to members of Congress.

It’s Thursday and the cal went out for this rally on Monday. Who are these people that can just pickup and head to some big protest in the middle of the week? Seriously. We have a major recession going on and unemployment is extremely high, meaning employees are more expendable. So how do these people just get to up and leave in the middle of the week and head to some protest? My guess are the retired and unemployed, and just think of that demographic – mostly a massive majority living off the government teet right now.

Adding..Why doesn’t anyone in the mainstream media ever ask this very basic question?
