The whole thing is just taking off like wildfire; ordinary citizens, in coffeeshops, barbershops, it's just everywhere.

4. Sorry, but the coffee party is a stupid idea. We already have an alternative to
the teabagger part. It is called the Democratic Party.

16. The Democratic Party must not be seen as effective in countering
Tea Party. Those Coffee Party people saw a vacuum and
are trying to fill it?????

12. I cannot see how this will not do some good - After all look how the MSM follows the Tea Party!
Ed Shultz talked about how much media reporting they get today. So as far as the "Coffee Party" goes it is good to see anyone at least doing something in getting people together for good reasons! I have to know a little more about what their values are before I get on board but I did hear Thom Hartman talking to one of the members in Atlanta GA the other day and it sounds interesting enough to take a second look.
