Some signs that I saw in the DC part of this thing read like this:

Peace is the absence of opposition to socialism.

In God We Trust, not government.

Ask Santa Anna how it went for the last President who tried to take away Texans' rights.

You are not entitled to what you do not earn.

And my favorite, because it describes me too. I'm a Foxaholic.

If independents do not understand their are fringe lunatics in all ideologies then they should not vote.
Unfortunately cleanhouse, the people that make up these protests are the majority of the Republican and Libertarian parties. We even saw various Republican congressmen at these protests.

In May, 66 percent of independents approved of Obama's job performance, according to the Gallup Poll.

By August, Gallup showed the president was supported by 49 percent of independents, a collapse during the health care debate that reflects independents' dislike of deficit spending, the growth of big government and one-party control of Washington.

Overall, 52% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. That represents a two-point gain following the speech and is the highest rating for the President since July 17. Forty-eight percent (48%) now disapprove. Eighty-four percent (84%) of Democrats approve while 78% of Republican disapprove. As for those not affiliated with either major party, 43% offer a positive assessment and 56% give a negative review.

Maybe those congressmen hadn't heard your rule about, if you are a Congressman you aren't allowed to express your Constitutional rights outside the halls of Congress.

Talk about stupid!!!!!

That was then, this is now.

"I understand the GOP is optimistic that they will win some seats back in 2010, and have a chance in the 2012 general. But before you get cocky, think about Independents. How do you expect to reach rational thinking people with stuff like this?"

BO won the election because Americans felt McCain was too old and they felt guilty about never having a black president.
