Teabagging sheep

The right wing only cares about excessive government spending when Democrats are the ones doing the spending. Where were they when the Bush administration and the Republican congress (for six of the eight years of Bush) were doubling the national debt in eight years?

It comes down to this: the Republican party leadership only oppose government spending when the Democrats are doing the spending. Most of the people protesting today only oppose government spending when Republican leaders, radio blowhards, and Fox News tell them to care about it. People are sheep. Today some of the sheep went teabagging.

Moreover, many have no idea what they're really protesting. They're complaining about high taxes when the current taxes are the rates set by the Bush tax cuts. They're complaining about Obama's tax plan when the vast majority of them will get a further tax cut under his plan. Only the highest tax bracket will pay more, and they'll stay pay substantially less than the highest tax rate for most of Reagan's presidency. Ignorance reigns supreme.
