A group of protestors gathered in front of the Stillwater Building at Dolphin Avenue and Shore Road in Northfield on Saturday.

The "Tea Party" protestors held signs announcing their opposition to the proposed "public option" health care plan and the recent "cap-and-trade" bill approved by the House of Representatives.

    Siochain you sound pissed the state or municipality missed out on a fee charged,or did you want them to approve/regulate the signs that where held. What's your point or stupid grip with the place they choose to protest of which their tax dollars paid for and are still paying for?

    Why were these people permitted to park and demonstrate on county property? Did they pay/have a permit? Who were they? Are they part of an organization?

    ****At least I felt safe for the last 8 years. President Bush had 911, Iraq, Afganastan and multiple large storms to deal with. He didnt waste our money the way it is being now.***** That is the most inane, delusional statement I have ever seen written on this board--and there have been a lot of inane statements posted here by delusional Jesus freak republicans like this one.

    OH yeah, The Freeholders meet "AFTER" normal business ours (in the evening). The bank bail-outs started under the INSISTANCE of Bush. Remember your gal Palin defending them? I hate the high taxes and municipal fines (disguised taxes)in NJ and the Federal level, but I also HATE that NOW you clownish sheep woke up after 8 years of silence and want to blame it ALL on President Obama after only 5 months! GROW-UP! Remember I was awoke during the WHOLE TIME! I thought I was in the Twilight Zone when I heard Bush announce we just attacked Iraq. IRAQ? And buying oil to fill the strategic reserves when it was at $150.00 per barrell? COME ON! All of his innitiatives and policies were followed by his arrogance with "well it hasn't finished yet, let's give it time to work and then you can criticize it". Well we NOW know they were FAILURES and we're criticizing them and HIM! During the whole 8 years i was stuck saying "WHAT THE FUQ IS HE DOING?" Cheney should be in prison!

    1st, It's not that you "felt" safe, It's that you had your heads in the sand while "YOUR GUYS" were in office even though they were spending like "giddy highschool girls with daddy's credit card". 2nd, 9/11 occured 8 months into Bush's term, you don't accept THAT blame (you pass that to Clinton), yet you blame Pres. Obama for the financial mess after only 3 months in office (1st tea-bag party). 3rd, Iraq was a war of "CHOICE" (Cheney's NATION BUILDING and Haliburton money grab) that is STILL costing us money and LIVES. 4th, The storms would have been less of an impact on the lives of the people had there been "COMPETENT" people (instead of religious nuts and political cronies) managing the pertinent agencies. Iguess if y'all would have "PRAYED HARDER" Jesus would have fixed it all? LOL! Then you want to reach waaaay back to Clinton again to avoid blame on the real eastate collapse, but it was all fine and dandy while you and your neighbors were refinancing to take out the EQUITY in your home's rising values. COMPETENCE in the S.E.C. with ENFORCEMENT would have caught the Madoffs 5 years ago and stopped the C.D.S.s that brought down the banking industry. It's NOT that Dems do everything right, it's just that unlike YOU "perfectly moral people" we admit our errors, take criticism and ideas and try to improve. WE'RE FED-UP WITH YOUR ILK'S "PASSING THE BUCK" AND BLAMING YOUR MISSTAKES ON EVERYONE ELSE! Howe much further back will y'all reach to blame the Bush / Cheney lies on? ...."oh well Clinton lied about Monica Lewinski".... And it didn't cost taxpayer dollars nor LIVES and it didn't make the WORLD hate us! You can't say the same about the Bush / Cheney LIES! But atleast y'all now have your heads out of the sand and Bush's @SS!

    At least I felt safe for the last 8 years. President Bush had 911, Iraq, Afganastan and multiple large storms to deal with. He didnt waste our money the way it is being now. It was the Libs that pushed the banks to loan money to unqualified home buyers,this started under Clinton in the 90's. 2010 is coming it is time to clean house. Remember 1994, if you are old enough.

    The protests were planned for weeks in northfield and margate. The 4th was a great day for it because most of us work.(unlike those of you that want a socialist nanny state.) It is time for all Libs and Progressives to go, be they Dem or Rep. Tea (Taxed Enough Already) Parties are not about not wanting to pay taxes, they are about the obsene spending taking place NOW. Your children and grandchildren will be left to clean up. So you should SIT-DOWN, SHUT-UP AND GET A CLUE.

    I'll see y'all at your next "TEA-BAG" party! Please have the courage to announce it in advance next time and hold it when the Freeholders are in session. It's great to see that you've "found your voices", it's just sad that it took you cowards 8 years to do so! The Limbaugh Republicans are FINISHED! I hope the "REAL Repubs" arrive to re-claim their party from the "religious nuts" who stole it away for the past 8 years!

  • avatar THATSINSANE (119) posts 10:01 pm

    "TEA-BAGS"? Why wasn't this announced prior to the event? Why didn't they have the courage to do this when the building is open and the Freeholders are in session? I would have LOVED to have been there! The bottom line is that the Republicans LOST! Where were your "TEA-BAG PARTIES" for the past 8 years while Bush was ruining our country? It's waaaayy past time for y'all to SIT DOWN and SHUT-UP while the BUSH / Republican mess is CLEANED-UP!
