  • No body here but some leftists, until me.

    Today more than 1,000,000 people went to the streets to protest the spending for programs America doesn't need and doesn't want. The media and the President pretty much ignored these protests. More than 600 of them across the country.

    Now what? What next? Is this just a one time demonstration. Obama and company hope it is.

    No. I will relentlessly work to replace those politicians who do not represent me. Phone, email, fax, snail mail, and camp on doors.

  • that means that more than 1 in every 5 of the dollars you are paying to the IRS will be going to the Pentagon.

  • "obama's communistic ways are scaring the hell out of people."

    hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahaha

  • wow you are dumb.  obama's communistic ways are scaring the hell out of people. people who should be ignored are the one's who don't even pay taxes. they are a drain to society and a reason for the deficit.

  • "read a book it will help you learn real info from trivial!"

    ???

    im just being realistic. i never said theres anything wrong with protesting (as long as people understand what they are talking about).

    i mean these people werent protesting about how Reagan and Bush set record deficits which leads me to believe they only care because hes a democrat. which is whats wrong with America people only care about their own party

  • wow you have a very scary defeatist attitude that should be outlawed in america! protesting is so american as baseball is! read a book it will help you learn real info from trivial!

  • no these people should be ignored because they dont even know what they are protesting about. if its about deficit spending where were they under reagan and bush? they only reason they held these protest is because they dont want obama as president no other reason

  • Why should these people be ignored? Are you saying that only certain people with that hold your opinion have the right to be heard? There are always more than one side to every story. These were peaceful rallies by law abiding citizens. Last I checked, that was still part of the constitution. Thank CBS for actual unbiased reporting. Unfortunately we cant say that for CNN.

  • Hey Lingerfoot, the Madison Tea party was held outside the Wisconsin state capitol building

    more than 5000 people were there
