Lastly, as I have seen the beginnings of this protests take place on other networks, these tea bags are discarded into bodies of water and they are reminiscent of the innocent lives in Iraq and done so with our tax money.  Did you know that tea is one of drink that Iraqi people like to drink?  How about sending tea bags over to Iraq as an apology to the devastation the previous administration started back in March of 2003?

 

Lastly to you ‘Teabag Protesters’ and to Fox News especially, Glenn Beck: How many of our tax dollars were used to kill innocent Iraqi children? Those of us who protested this war from the start did not need any news network rallying us to do so, we did so independently.  We were trying to save the lives of innocent Iraqis and save the lives of our soldiers. 

 

Fox News always cites itself as being patriotic in support of our troops, yet they fail to understand that our tax money is used to support them through body armor and the medical benefits they so rightly deserve.  At least then Senator Barack Obama voted for the G.I. Bill where now Senator John McCain did not.
