Rasmussen is a right wing group and actually gave money for G. Bush's re-election in 04. They ask questions in a way to get a desired right wing result. Look that up!

That doesn't make them "ultra conservatives" and of course, most of the participants were Republicans for it is they who generally don't support big government and high taxes. But there were also a lot of libertarians and independents there too. As well as some Democrats who regret the Obama agenda now.

Actually, more Americans identify themselves as conservatives than liberals - always have done, always will do. It was the independents who won the election for Obama and they were fooled by the MSM into thinking that Obama would be a pragmatic centrist. They were wrong and Obama is losing support among them. Opposition to him is growing. Obama's "approval INDEX" as measured by Rasmussen is now only 1%. Go look it up!

I wouldn't say "vast majorty" The margin of highly approve and highly disapprove is near 0 now..
and look what the protests accomplished: Obama trimmed a WHOPPING $100 million from his record $1.85 trillion budget deficit this year. /sarc off
That amounts to a family making $60K a year trimming $6 from their budget.
That 52-48% win he/dems had in last election will not be that hard to overcome Nov 2010

*Could it be that some in attendance were independents or even democtats bitter and miserable in regards to how Obama is running the country now?*
Absolutely -- no question about it. But only a tiny fraction of those in attendence would fit this description.
The vast majority of both Democrats and Independents approve of the job Obama is doing.

*It was the democrats/liberals for the last 8 years*
I'll give you that point: I was one of them. Especially after the Supreme Court cancelled the 2000 elections and appointed Bush president. But we remained loyal citizens and worked within the system to bring about change. It took six years, but we were successful, and I'm pretty happy with the results.
Most Americans are, too. The opposition, while vocal, is concentrated on the far right.

I'm sure you didn't attend any events. You have only seen the limited coverage/mocking done by our media. Somehow you come up with figures you
believe to be true.
Could it be that some in attendance were independents or even democtats bitter and miserable in regards to how Obama is running the country now? I recall protesters that were bitter and miserable about losing an elecetion. It was the democrats/liberals for the last 8 years

If I see a large gathering of pro-life people waving arounds signs of aborted fetuses, I'm going to guess that they are probably mostly Republican. If I see a bunch of union organizers picketing outside a business, I'm going to assume most are Democrats. And so on.
Quit being obtuse. You're obviously not stupid, so the real question is why you are acting stupid and pretending that most tea partiers weren't Republicans bitter and miserable about having lost the election last November.

wow, you can observe footage of crowds and determine these things? I am always amazed how liberals use information they pull from thin air to bloster their omnipotence.
