87. Looks like your predictions of doom and gloom turned out to wrong.
Bigger crowds there today and hopefully even bigger tomorrow. And why would a Democrat be so derogatory towards Code Pink? I know the right hates them, but that is simply because they have never given up doing what all of us should have been doing, exposing the crimes of the right, protesting the War Criminals every chance they get.

What have you been doing?

This 'movement' will grow, but only if the left doesn't shoot itself in the foot as it always does by focusing on trivia and losing sight of the big picture. Fyi, people who were actually there saw very few, maybe three or four Ron Paul supporters, and I say, welcome to them, they are bodies to fill out the crowd.

The Egyptian demonstrations became a coalition of so many diverse groups, Islamists, college students, Christians, people who normally didn't get along but came together on one issue that mattered to all of them, removing a brutal dictator from office.

We can do the same thing. All those people who are being denigrated here, are US Citizens and if on this one issue they can come together, all the better for the this country. Most of the people there, I am told, did not care about party politics or ideologies. They are there because this country is in trouble. We can go back to fighting each other AFTER we wrest this country back from the Global Cartels who are currently driving it into the third world status, OR we stick our noses in the air and stay home because we don't like Ron Paul's few supporters being there.
