And that includes you Marco. And that includes anyone that isn't aware that the neo con morons had been working on this protest since early in the year. At least 8 months. How long was Obamas inauguration planned and implemented? Where were all the wack wing celebrities? 800,000 vist DC every week. 80,000??? There were ten times that number looking at the sights. Where were all the wacko celebrities???? That's funny, Barbara Striesand types???, they belong to your liberal la la land club. Out of touch and out of sight. |

Rep Power: 4 | | | We'll see who wins and who loses in due time. 2010 is coming up and I know RWers have high hopes.
There WILL be some form of Health Care Reform and Americans will LOVE it.
RWers have their talking points and beliefs and Liberals and PRogressives have theirs, doesn't seem that there will be much changing of minds. We'll just have to watch and see how things turn out.
Personally, I believe I will be smiling a lot in the upcoming months a year concerning the political future.
I hope you RWers can say the same, well...actually I don't, but its a nice thing to say.
LOL!!!

You lie!! Mark, you may want to try to read your sources carefully: Quote: .... approximately 60,000 to 70,000 people flooded Pennsylvania Ave, according to the Washington DC Fire Department. .... PA Ave is just ONE of the venues of the protest yesterday. It took place on the Mall, Lafayette Square, E St., the Hill, etc. So, the best one can say is there were in excess of 60-70K, basing numbers on your source.
First you posted a Twitter post by a reporter as 'proof' that there were 30K persons. Now you post an estimate of the numbers on PA Ave. which is just one part of the entire venue. You're not making a solid point.

Rep Power: 24 | | Now this if from the Huffington Post about the estimate of people, now for all you libs this is your own paper. Please read the second paragraph, there's your numbers, not an early morning picture. Tea Party Washington D.C. PHOTOS: Conservative Protesters Rally Against Big Government
Here ya go-

(AP) WASHINGTON — Tens of thousands of people marched to the U.S. Capitol on Saturday, carrying signs with slogans such as "Obamacare makes me sick" as they protested the president's health care plan and what they say is out-of-control spending.
The line of protesters spread across Pennsylvania Avenue for blocks, all the way to the capitol, according to the D.C. Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency. People were chanting "enough, enough" and "We the People." Others yelled "You lie, you lie!" and "Pelosi has to go," referring to California congresswoman Nancy Pelosi.
I don't think that D.C Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency would underestimate the crowd, obviously the mall got full and then they spread out in the streets. BTW, the day before this protest the White House stated that they had no knowledge of a tea party, now does that not make you feel all warm and cuddly when you go to bed at night. LOL

Big deal considering all the hoopla thats been made about it since about, oh...January.

LOL!!  So, it's 30-70K on PA Ave. Okie doke, for grins, we'll go with that until some official estimates come out. You are aware that the Mall is not PA Ave, right? And that the Hill is not PA Ave, right? And that E Street NW and 14th NW is not PA Ave, right?

Quite honestly, it doesnt matter what the official count was. There were lots of people there, you can tell by the pictures. To pretend there werent is just plain dishonest.

Anyway, often emotions get in the way of a rational analysis. Thing is, just emoting doesn't really do anything to persuade those not already on the same bandwagon as the emoter. I see no purpose to that - no change in numbers at all.

This video shows the people out in the streets, it's an MSNBC web cam. Hot Air » Blog Archive » How big was the crowd in D.C. today? Sometimes, I really have to wonder about you libs, remember Ted Kennedy, his funeral was very recent,, do ya think those flags might be at half-mast because of him.
Two videos of the crowd for you to peruse. One is a time-lapse from a traffic cam of people gathering this morning, the other is of MSNBC anchor Alex Witt marveling at the scale of the rally. Believe it or not, there were lefties speculating on Twitter today that the photo Michelle posted this morning was bogus because the flag in the foreground appears to be at half-mast; it must have been a photo of a lefty protest from years ago, the theory went, for surely the right couldn’t muster a throng of that size. Compare it to the videos, though, and you’ll see that the shot’s obviously from today. Alas, 9/12 Truth, we hardly knew ye!
