Saw FOX interviews some of them who looked at lease decent and not so colownish. Couldn;t say I was much impressed as they seem to not even know exactly what they were for or aginst really. Some of the others looked ready for Halloween really.

The biggest reason for the minimal coverage is, they don't understand what it's about. The purpose is simple, apparently too simple for the Media.

The protestors don't even have a collective cause..they don't understand what it's about.

If it wasn't spontaneous, if it was organized and focused, it would be taken over and manipulated by the very people they oppose. You can't herd cats.

No!! Tax rates were not lowered Obama passed out a 400.00 credit and Bush gave out a 600.oo credit along with 300.00 per child. So I'd say Bush gave people more
