5. At least we knew what we were protesting...
The innocent slaughter of hundreds of thousand of Iraq's citizens and thousands of American soldiers.

What are these people protesting? A 3 percent tax increase for the wealthiest Americans? Tax cuts for 95% of Americans?

I see a big difference. It's a shame you don't.

8. I don't think they were all protesting the same things
I seriously doubt they even KNOW about a 3% tax increase on the wealthiest Americans.

The state of the economy, the job losses, low wages, high prices - those things can tend to fuel action.

15. Also, the fact that a black Democrat is president. That had something to do with it as well.

6. I wonder how many of these "Tax Revolter's" were against spending...
Edited on Thu Apr-16-09 12:34 AM by BlueJazz
..untold Billions on a War that anybody with 3 brain cells knew was just another Right-Wing Dog & Pony Show.

They were awfully Quiet when their God, George Bush and his Merry gang of thieves, Raped the Treasury and this Country.

Guess What Dumb Asses?..Now it's time to pay the Piper..and unfortunately you Mother-Fuckers brought the Sane People
right down into the Gutter with you....Thanks a Lot..Assholes.

on Edit : Spelling

12. I asked two women holding spending signs whther they were with us during the anti-war protest
Their was "why would we be?"

I said :maybe because Nobel Prizewinning economist figures it's already cost 2 trillion dollars- and it'll be more than three once it's all said and done.

They just turned away.
