So.
Edited on Tue Dec-15-09 01:48 PM by dave29
Less than 50 people show up for the Move On Rally to demand the PO at the White House today. 1000 show up for a teabagger event.

Sure, they had more planning. But what does this tell you about all the outrage?

More Than 1,000 Attend AFP Rally
MOMENTS AGO
TPMDC's Evan McMorris-Santoro reports that more than 1,000 people are at an Americans for Prosperity rally at the Capitol right now, many of them wearing red. AFP president Tim Phillips is speaking now; Sens. Jim DeMint and Tom Coburn are also scheduled to speak, along with radio host Laura Ingraham.

14. Amen to that...we have totally illegitimized our concerns...
by insisting that everyone elses' "concerns" are invalid. Nice compassion from progressives, eh?

9. Imagine that:

It's easier to rally people behind a false hope than an ever diminishing reality that was born of, apparently, false hope.

11. One is a corporate movement.
One is a peoples movement.

Corporations have all the money because they took it from the people. See where I'm going here? We can't afford to pay people to protest, they can.

It's really sad the way you put down people who are trying to help. Not very liberal of you.
