2. I wonder if Fox News will estimate the crowds like they did the tea baggers

Somewhere between 50 thousand and 2 million???

And I guarantee the parties before and after the march were much, much better :)

7. LAME. I think they are tired of being told that they should wait.

"Lets tackle the big problems first, then we can do the other stuff."

Of course it's not a big problem to you. It's not YOUR rights that are being taken away.
