Read it again. I was there at 1pm. I said in my posts that more people may have shown up, but I believe they had already marched from Freedom Plaza to the Capitol, and when I was there, they were not in the streets and traffic flowed on Constitution and Pennsylvania. I did not say I was there the whole time.
Many people were apparently leaving, walking away from the Capitol where the speakers were set up and the large crowd was sitting.
Again, go back and read my report, you obviously didn't follow well. I even acknowledge there were large numbers of people - once I got down to 4th St. The mass of people were on the lawn of the Capitol. They were not jam-packed. They were not on the Mall further west than 4th St.
It's good to see a large number of people out voicing their opinions. It was a large gathering. Not a humongous one in DC rally terms.
Now the rallyers and their supporters can feel good they did this, they have memories of it.
And Congress will in the coming months pass a health reform bill to President Obama, and he will sign it.
It was large enough to have you in this thread trying to make light of the amount that showed up and whats happening
As a conservative atheist I have to say that anyone who believes in the Book of Mormon is not a credeible source of information. I don't care how much I agree with your policies, anyone who even entertains the thought that that Book might have one shred of credible information in it needs their head examined. Seriously.
I was talking about Glenn Beck, I don't know why people listen to him.

My God I think Obama got that many in Minnesota all by himself today.
lol....I was thinking the same thing. I watched his speech on tv this morning, and the crowd at the Target Center looked bigger than the "tea party" crowd.
Im being gracious saying 50,000 is there, and there all old white fogies lol.
they forgot that on saturday everyone watches college football.
I don't know what you were watching, because they were not "all old whtie fogies". I saw people from all ages, white and black that were "interviewed".
You must have been watching CNN or something (I'm surprised if they even covered it).

be surprised then. they were covering it from before the official start of the protest, as was the rest of the "liberal media".
you need to catch up, the new line is "they probably spun the story (but we haven't figured out how yet)" or "the lefties are horrified that this got so much media coverage".
