Billionaires for wealth care in san diego

[nadinbrzezinski]

well, my hubby and I went to the tea bagger event with the Billionaires from Wealth Care. We got separated early on, after a few confrontations with a few assholes... the woman kept shoving me, and decided to quit once I told her I'd file charges for assault. So we moved into the crowd and made our way to the front.

Well, we had a few interesting non violent confrontations. One guy told a woman to quit it since we had the right to be there just as she did, First Amendment. One guy said, you may have the first but I have the second. I told him, gee I also have the Second and are you making threats? He walked away.

Hubby had one tell him he served in Nam, and hubby went through his military career, and even told him lets compare IDs. So the guy said, most be medical retirement. So hubby pointed out he was diminishing somebody else's service...

We had a gal from France come and tell us she came form a SOCIALIST country... and got really aggressive once Tom told her that Patriots STAY and FIGHT, and don't run... for what they believe. Oh that didn't go very well with her. I mean being called a cut n'runner French... the stereotype worked.

My two favorites were though the old lady that started to sway. I asked her if she was OK. It was HOT, and she looked not good. She said she was. So I stood, with her permission, behind her to catch her if need be. Near the end she turns... didn't know libs cared for my health.

We have Ma'am, since oh 1935. Now that is a seed.

Now one guy got into a discussion over wealth with us... and hubby told him that he didn't know where the investments were, since the broker does that... it was funny. A group started going, well More profits for Microsoft and Apple... Oh sure, we are all for that, better for my portfolio! You could see wheels freezing.

Oh and the lady that took 45 minutes to figure out we were NOT on their side. Though you should know George Soros and Acorn paid for my signs.

Now most of the group was told to leave... as I said we were separated, after a few violent confrontations (there is video of that)... but I can say we have a friendly spy here. Yep, in the middle they said, we have a GROUP FROM DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND here... so we cheered. So whoever you are, thank you... my portfolio loves you.


Oh and here is the truth, I was trained at one point to count crowds... so they were probably able to draw about 1200 people, I am high balling it a little ... promise you this, they will say much more... and more than just a few were not Tea Baggers.

Oh and to end here, there was also the line that we DU'ers were like the Brown shirts, at which point we both went yeah, Jews for Hitler... that got a chuckle from a few as they realized the contradiction.

Oh and pointing does help... while laughing.

Just remember to be respectful and not interrupt speakers ok.

Oh and I hate to do this...

Four African American in that crowd and perhaps three hispanics. Two of the African Americns were on the stage by the way. It was mostly white and older... oh five kids.

Oh and they kept insisting they were not racists...

Damn should have taken more notes.

1. Cool

sounds like a fun afternoon. What was the "violence" all about?

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. Pretty hard core right wingers

believe it or not a lady said, WHY ARE YOU RUINING OUR PARTY?

Well if a couple folks from the opposition can ruin the party... I guess there are some issues.

[Catshrink]

3. Why are you ruining our party?

That's a time to point and laugh.

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. We were overdressed, so that is exactly what we were doing

34. Bravo

Too good!! Billionaires for wealthcare rock!!!

[krabigirl]

4. They call that a "party"? The dentist's chair would be more fun than being around teabaggers.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. Some are actually not that bad... but a few are worst than a root canal

Some of the folks are there because they don't agree with the direction of the country, but are willing to agree to disagree and move on.

[Laelth]

7. Good work. k&r n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. thanks, though the cover has been blown

as it were

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. Kick

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. Awesome - I applaud you!

SOunds like you had quite a crowd of teabaggers.

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. 1200, the problem is that some folks, or a few more than just some

were not tea baggers but counter protesters.

The UT actually reported 1000... but as I said that number includes counter protesters.

And I need a hat... and a gosh bag for the water.

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. Oh and here is their POV

first photo in the San Diego event is not here.

And thousands? There is no way to get THOUSANDS into that place as is.

[proud2BlibKansan]

28. LOL! They are claiming their fans created a traffic jam in LA

http://teapartyexpressblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/tpxii-c...

I don't live anywhere near LA but I know there is a traffic jam there 24/7. Try again, teabaggers.

[nadinbrzezinski]

32. Over here we laughed as well

only way I'd buy it... mebbe, would be at three in the morning on a Saturday.

[Nikki Stone1]

13. George Soros and Acorn paid for your signs???

How did you manage that? I have to make my own!

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. I said I printed them

they did not buy it.

The level of projection was amazing

[Nikki Stone1]

17. I know! I should have put the sarcasm smilie. I think it's hilarious that the RW thinks

Soros paints your signs.

How are you feeling now that the rally is over?

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. Face is burned

and I needed a tylenol for the headache...

Oh gosh, I should let them eat advil...

[Nikki Stone1]

19. LOL!! Well THANK YOU for being out there.

I really appreciate your activism.

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. Funny line of the rally

"Every day that we delay the vote, is a victory for the Tea Bag Movement."

Bit lip... you silly fools, we seem close to 60 votes and an actual bill.

One person actually told us, I cannot afford the stick, or a sign.

We were dressed for success after all

Or the other favorite. "That dress is from a thrift store!"

"Well yes Ma'am, only fools buy full price!"

You knew she wanted to answer... but how do you answer that one!

[Nikki Stone1]

23. You don't

You now need a good hot dinner and a drink!

[nadinbrzezinski]

24. We came home, got off the monkey suits and went out for

lunch

[Nikki Stone1]

27. Where did you go? Some place nice?

Hopefully not McDonald's.

[nadinbrzezinski]

30. Chevys

tex mex

[Nikki Stone1]

33. Yum!

How their guacamole?

[nadinbrzezinski]

35. didn't order anything with it

I ordered their chile verde though and it was too salty.

Usually I stick to fish tacos, things like that... but I wanted to change.

[Nikki Stone1]

36. Sounds good!

Will you be on TV, I wonder.

[nadinbrzezinski]

37. Nah was not close to the action

though the photos teabaggers posted were so bad quality that you will have a hard time telling what happened

[MindandSoul]

14. Great!

Thank you so much for being there and for bringing the REAL happenings to us!
Sounds like you did great!

I wish I could have been there to support you (and that old lady who may or may not have been feeling poorly!)

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. Well hopefully my very respectful attitude

and offering help, will change her mind a bit.

Those divisions need to close... because the level of division is down right scary.

[Bozita]

21. A big thank you to you and your wealthy friends.

Sounds like it was a very interesting day.

[nadinbrzezinski]

22. Oh it was...

and I wish we had the camera... so we would have photos...

I have one



The organizer sent it to another DU'er

[Bozita]

25. as prosperous looking a group as I've ever seen

[nadinbrzezinski]

26. Well thank you,

and my cane was not just a prop. After two hours I was glad I took it

[proud2BlibKansan]

29. Off topic but I hate looking at pictures of southern CA this time of year

It is rainy and ugly here. I am probably one of the few who hates fall. Sure it's kinda pretty but it's cold and winter is right around the corner. Plus the trees aren't nearly as pretty as they used to be, thanks to urban pollution.

Anyway, I am incredibly jealous of your palm trees and sunny sky.

[nadinbrzezinski]

31. Trust me, it was HOT

76-78, formal wear and HOT and MUGGY do not mix.

We were dehydrated by the end of it.

Oh and the palm trees, they are imports. Our country side, natural, is thorny and DRY...

[Vidar]

38. Job well done!

[BrklynLiberal]

39. Oh and pointing does help... while laughing.

[nadinbrzezinski]

40. We did, in a way

I mean how gosh, we went and mingled with the commoners, and I did not even get a sign bearer... what will the friends at the afternoon tea (with crumpets of course) will think?



The funny thing is that we did speak of the issues, in a sarcastic way. I mean, all those pre existing conditions are good for MY income...

And in a way, some of these folks didn't know what to say... and were not sure we were on what side.

[Ozymanithrax]

41. Great Job...

George Sorros, really. I know he has money, but it is nice of him to take off time to pay for your signs.

[nadinbrzezinski]

42. To print them no-less...

I have a sign boy, his name is GEorge Soros. Ironically I had to explain to my husband who George Soros is. After all Soros is not in the common lexicon... Makes sense that a man who has funded Democracy Projects across the world would be feared by these guys though.

Oh and aparently I got paid to be there as well... I guess the check is in the mail... as big as the one I got as a medic working for the Red Cross... in Tijuana. (Big fat ZERO)
