Trouble in paradise...Anti-Government Protests Draws Tens of Thousands to D.C.

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

Each protest has had more and more people.

there were 10x the number of people at cities around the country on September 12 than there were on July 4th.

this is great, i'm glad americans aren't all asleep at the wheel.

Now we need to turn this energy toward the 2010 election and vote out all the Corrupt party politicians in washington.

its time to kick out these special interest loving democrats and repbulicans and put in some fresh new democrat, repbulican, and independant faces.

Why is the attendance total so important for some here? The salient point is many people are unhappy with their government and they made use of their First Amendment right. Good for them. More people need to get ticked off.

because if its "smaller than expected" the lib loons can make the cliam it was only a small number of extremists rightwing racists

But then there be none left and the ones coming in would have to leave too.

For the record, 60 to 70,000 is more than they expected.

They expected 20 to 50,000.

"Up to two million people marched to the U.S. Capitol today, 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 Washington 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."

[DiveCon]

oh come on
there were more people there than for the so called "million man march"
there has to be more than that for the numbers

Now what you're doing is hoping. Sorry Dive, a couple of pictures does not mean there were more there.

The Fire Department said 60,000 - 70,000. ABC is saying 60,000 - 70,000. The Wall Street Journal is saying tens of thousands, as is Fox News.

I'm sorry, I'm sure you wish there were more but there wasn't 2 million, 1 million, 500,000, 250,000 or even 100,000.

I'm pretty sure the fire department knows what they're doing. Since they were the same ones to estimate the 1.8 million who were there to see Obama sworn in.

Also, the event organizers were only expecting 20,000 to 50,000. So this is better than they did expected I suppose.

i wonder if anyone got a link to that early ABC story that claimed 2 million so an archive site might have it

 

[AllieBaba]

Not that it matters, 2 million, 60-70 thousand. The truth is, it's nationwide. Millions are participating. And they are only a fraction of those who agree with the protesters.

Suddenly Allie Oops doesn't like Fox News reports.

[AllieBaba]

I think it's more like 2 million. Whoppee and about damn time we take our country back from the crooks in D.C

March on D.C. draws 2 million! UPDATE!

Being delusional must be fun huh?

We all look to you as the expert on delusion, Modbert...

 

[JakeStarkey]

OK, five million are protesting, twenty-five million others agree, and 270 million disagree.

alli, please, you are embarassing yourself. The reform is going to pass, period, you all are going to act like idiots, and the poor and working classes are going to uphold the legislation in next year's elections.

Your types are finished.

lol.

Another misleading comment. I've never come on here and extolled the virtues of Fox news, any more (and possibly less) than I've extolled the virtues of CNN or MSNBC.

Not only that, we ARE the poor and working classes. So when he says "your kind are through" I assume he's talking about the majority of ppl in the nation.

Wishful thinking...I don't even think KOS and HuffPo would project such an exaggerated number, haha.

Exactly.

 

[Xenophon]

And don't say 'republicans' because they don't have the votes to do anything.

And don't say 'republicans' because they don't have the votes to do anything.

UNLESS the Dims don't wanna go out on that limb all by their lonesome -- and NEED more Republicans to serve as cover. . . .

What a great buncha folks they had gathered in the capitol today...
