20,000 Dem strong crowd at Obama rallies, and never a problem! Take that!

[FrenchieCat]

1. wish I was going to the Dead concert

2. Bullcrap! The Jets and the Sharks were rumbling at the Minneapolis rally today!

No, wait a minute. That wasn't at the rally. That was at the revival of "West Side Story" that was in production at the theater down the block.

Sorry, my bad.

[Kittycat]

9. This is what it looks like when citizens rise up.

Ripples to waves. Change is coming. Fired Up, and Ready to Go!!!

[glowing]

3. What is he, a rock star..... How approachable is this.. I'm sorry but

this is borderline crazy...

[FrenchieCat]

4. Maybe it's from waiting such a long time for some damn Hope!

Could that be what that is? :shrug:

[glowing]

14. Hope is all well in good, but at the end of the day, what does hope

give you.. What tangible benefits does it give anyone... Hope to Change. Is Hope going to rebuild New Orleans, is Hope going to give the middleclass anything, is Hope going pay for college, housing, and crumbling infrastructure?

I hate Propaganda.. and some of those old sci-fi movies keep repeating through my head.. and "1984" is ringing in my ears.

5. Free kool-aid in the morning in america tent!

:spray: :spray: :spray: :spray: :spray:

[krabigirl]

7. Yep, I totally agree with this. It's a bit much.

[glowing]

16. Yes, it is.. We have to stop looking at our politicians like they are

a God or King.... They work for us, not the other way around...

[RoadRage]

20. 20,000 people showing up to see a democratic leader is a bit much? WTF?

I thought that this would be a day we'd all be waiting for.

I suppose if it was Clinton that they were showing up to see, then it would be just fine?

Just be happy & thankful that they're not lining up to see McCain or Romney

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. People are hungry. Hungry for something different - not the

them and us of the Clinton/Bush years.

[fooj]

6. Far out!

How about he takes 1/4 to 1/2 of those people and all of his young supporters and march straight up Pennsylvania Avenue and PROTEST this illegal and immoral war. Don't you think that would be great? Wonder why it hasn't happened yet considering he is our anti-war candidate. I suppose cutting off funding would be a good start...

[krabigirl]

8. lol :)

[Kittycat]

10. Speaking of...

I was talking with my DH the other night, wondering if he got the nomination - if he wouldn't march on washington. I told him that if he did, we'd have to go.

[Azathoth]

21. Yeah, cause protesting has worked so well with Bush

:eyes:

[troubleinwinter]

24. Did you miss the "cutting off funding" part of the post?

[Azathoth]

27. No, but I've resigned myself to the fact that will never happen

I've given up on waiting for the Dems in congress to grow a collective spine and take the fight to Bush.

[troubleinwinter]

28. How are spineless senators, unwilling to "taking the fight to Bush" presidential material?

Maybe 'resigning ourselves' isn't the way to go.

Fooj asked a damned good question upthread. Maybe we should expect a hell of a lot more out of our "Democratic" candidates.

If the dems in congress are spineless, we should REPLACE THEM, not put them in the White House.

[DUyellow]

26. I have protested in DC. And i'll pick Obama over Hillary everytime.

[bigwillq]

11. "Never a problem"

What does that mean? :shrug:

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. Good question. Like there should have been riots? Hey, we're

gonna win tomorrow !

[lapfog_1]

12. Don't believe it.

Didn't even sell out.

I mean look at all those empty seats up by the roof behind the stage!

Yup, Obama is going down!

:sarcasm: :)

(doing my best Hillbot impression)

[jillan]

13. delete

[Evergreen Emerald]

15. Lots of people went to Bush rallies.

Just because the American citizenry is so lazy that they just nod in agreement with whatever the media tells them, does not mean anything, other than there are lots of lazy Americans.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. Yikes, you're scaping the bottom of the barrel there, don't ya think?

[FrenchieCat]

22. There is a revolution going on,

and it is fucking being televised!
Bout That?

We've been waiting for it, and here it is upon us....

And all I will say to those who will deny it,
there are none so blind as those who will not see.


(pan across!)

[usregimechange]

25. Wow!

[LadyVT]

29. I'd rather have a President than an entertainer

The last entertainer we had in office was Reagan, and he was a disaster in my mind.

[Sapphocrat]

30. "Take that!"

Another oh-so-gracious FUCK YOU from FrenchieCat.

Lovely.
