Many, perhaps most, were pissed off with the administration, that's where.

Now, source? All I see is your gut feel and that gut feel doesn't even make much logical sense.




Oh so they were "PISSED" at the Bush admin but were just too lazy to do anything about it.......That's your explanation!!??? Pretty fing WEAK!

LMAO. Do you have a source (or any logic) that allows you to conclude that none of those protesting yesterday protested the war? All I see is your gut feel and continued dodging. That's nothing - at all - well, except your emoting.

The protests yesterday had none of these factors in play.

If you leave out these facts from your equation, your interpretation will be faulty, and not at all logical.

The two do not compare. At all.
For the record, this event was in planning since March.

This is also a first time in history kind of event considering the circumstances.

This protest was also promoted, hyped, and talked about all over the media.

I'm not so sure if the crowd number is 60,000 to 70,000 considering the pictures. However, Sinatra had a good number with 200,000. For some reason, Republicans are obsessed with trying to make this event have more people than when Obama was sworn in. Perhaps some of them believe that by doing so, their "revolution" will seem legit and should be taken further.

Edit: What I find hilarious is instead of dismissing the obvious ignorant number by the Democrat who said it. Republicans have taken the 2 million number as it if it were the truth.

Quote:
"It looks like Saturday's event is going to be a huge gathering, estimates ranging from hundreds of thousands to 2 million people," Doug Thornell, an aide to Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., wrote in a memo obtained by FOXNews.com.

But conservatives believe the memo is ploy to inflate expectations for the turnout anticipating that it will fall short.

"It's an old political tactic to get out in front and make wild projections and when they're not met, claim their opponents don't have the juice," said Pete Sepp, a spokesman for the National Taxpayers Union, one of the organizers of the rally.

Prove what wrong? Your gut feel? You are entitled to your feelings, but I work with facts typically.

I can say I was at this protest and two anti-war protests in DC. That's rather irrelevant, though as it's just anecdotal. I might wonder how you feel about that, but I don't.

2010 - that will be the cycle that the Democrats take veto proof 2/3d majorities in both chambers of Congress. Thanks for pointing that date out, alli.

Don't be sorry for having just feelings. It's quite OK. But, most who post here probably don't give a damn what you feel.

Of course, all of those protesters came there with signs, chanting, etc were there all by themselves. It makes no difference that lobbyists were funding the event yesterday. However, whenever someone on the Left has a different opinion from that, they're obviously under marching orders.

Look at the funny little partisan who thinks he's witty. I love how you make such false accusations against me. If you even bothered to read any of my posts, you'd see that I am one of Obama's biggest critics on the Left. I don't support him half as much as I use to since he's taken office. However, I don't expect you to realize such facts, just continue to be ignorant and see the world as black and white. Must be fun being delusional.
