Rally To Restore Sanity Attendance Estimated In Hundreds Of Thousands... But Was It Bigger Than Beck's 'Restoring Honor' Crowd?

That's spiffy and all, but what does it have to do with the Rally to Restore Sanity?

Yep, they just wanted to emulate a moron. Not! That's just more crazy talk! Keep it up, we all know 'crazy talk' when we see it. 'Nothing to see here, move along'.

How is Beck being emulated in this rally, and what is it that you do for employment?

Right, because people are going to drive or fly for hours to go to a huge convention so they can focus on something else, like what they're going to have for dinner a week from then... oh, wait. Never mind, that would just be the silly and presumptuous mental spinnings of an idiot who likes to belittle things he does not understand.

And lots of money for Comedy Central since everyone who attended the rally had to buy tickets to be admitted... Wait, it was a free event and tickets weren't sold because they weren't required to get in. Guess that's out the window too.

Well at least they learned a lesson after Obama... what that lesson is, only a delusional jackass can hope to guess.

By the way, what do you do for employment Ayipis?

I guess Charlie Manson had other plans for the day.

What I found encouraging is that there were people from all walks of life, from both sides of the political spectrum there who spoke up. Democrats that are fed up with the Left hijacking their party to Conservatives tired of of the people using the name of God to claim their supremacy. Contrary to liberal claims this rally was not exclusive to their cause
nor can Conservatives claim the same.

We need to hold them accountable, when they lie, spin, or distort. They know what they are doing. They are doing it with purpose. Our public airwaves were sold and now we are getting what they paid for. Politics spun into unrecognizable truth. If no one can see the truth, no one knows what is true.

It's time to stop the dishonesty. It's not happening by accident!

Could be something to do with abusive, uncivilised, thuggish and offensive personal attacks? You know, the leftard modus operandi.

Only a leftist calls me troll or rat or asshole. I mean, feel the love. Peace, man.

Gee thanks. Now I could flag that......but I'm feeling magnanimous today.

I have been seeing a lot of this on other threads as well. Spammers trying to sell their wares and junk. They have to try to sell their junk somewhere I guess.

That too.

I take it you trust Fox that is owned by a Australian and a Saudi Prince?

Also where did the Huffington post comment all the sudden pop out from?

It seems like the Huffington Post is about 90% of the source for the liberal poster on Current.

About that Change thing...

There's an old sea story about a ship's Captain who inspected his sailors, and afterward told the first mate that his men smelled bad.
The Captain suggested perhaps it would help if the sailors would change underwear occasionally.
The first mate responded, "Aye, aye sir, I'll see to it immediately!"
The first mate went straight to the sailors berth deck and announced, "The Captain thinks you guys smell bad and wants you to change your underwear." He continued, "Pittman, you change with Jones, McCarthy, you change with Witkowski, and Brown, you change with Schultz."
THE MORAL OF THE STORY:
Someone may come along and promise "Change", but don't count on things smelling any better.

Comedy Central that sponsored the rally said there were a Billion.

Jon Stewart, during the rally, said there were ten billion people there.

But here's my reply to ozoneocean, which shows that Jon - although he was incorrect - was the closest in the correct estimate (he was under by over 500,000,000 folks), so he wins the prize:

Sweat not. I have, on good authority, the EXACT number of attendees at Saturday's wonderful event:

10,568,302,002 people
7 dogs
2 parrots
50 Port-O-Sans

That sounds about right.

I hear most of Becks numbers were made up of space aliens and mythical creatures.

Actually the count was in the 10's of Thousands. Not a million.

and all of them were expecting to "party hardy" and have fun LOL..

that is why this shit is nothing more than a rating booster for comedy central...

here is a good example..you guys are fighting about the "size"of attendance??? well how many of those in attendance actually know why they were there for?? isnt that more of a concern??

LOL...

well according to most liberal athiests...space aliens and mystical creatures exist LOL..

i think it was just the dope..

and Ohio! Don't forget Ohio in 2004! An independent statistical analysis of the election results there showed that the odds that Bush could have won there were 680,000 to 1.

Bull Shit! And let's not forget that with all that corporate money being invested to keep the Republicorp alive, many of those Bechheads were actually apid to be there

Surely you jest.

go home limey.

really???????? I thought it was more that 25 bajillion?
Or maybe infinity, I can't remember. When you just make up numbers for the fuck of it, it's hard to keep track :(

Yawn...

No.

So, you're saying they were actually aped ?
Does that hurt ?
: )

HAH!!!

stated that IQ wise, you can bouble the average..........

bouble? Not a good reflection on your IQ comment. Try spell check some time.

I was there too. And I was also blown away at how crowded it was. I definitely was not expecting something THAT huge! I was coming from just north of NYC. I drove to one of the outermost train stations outside DC, and even the furthest train station that I took had a giant line of people projecting out in to the parking lot just waiting to get train tickets. And when I arrived in the city and stepped out of the station, I was just surrounded by an ocean of people. And it just got worse and more densely crowded as I got closer and closer to the mall. All sorts of people too. And what was great was that we were all there to make a statement. That the angry beck/tea party crowds that we so often see in the media are not representative of the whole country. I have no doubt in my mind that this rally was at least twice as big as Beck's, but perhaps MORE importantly, this rally easily had a much more diverse population of people and I would say that lends credibility to my opinion that this rally more truly represented the country overall. And the overall mood and energy of the crowd was positive, calm and peaceful. Not fearful, angry and hateful. It was really amazing to be a part of it.

Of course they will! When was the last time a Republican admitted to making a mistake?

Why the ?

What comes around goes around I guess.

Democrats in congress hide in plain sight. Guess what...we found them and are sending them home.

I dont particularly like Democrats either... but at least they arent republicants!

Oh really? That sounds great!

We spend over a trillion dollars every year on the military budget and bloated national security agencies, which hire probably over 3 million people.

That's a big government! We ought to cut that right? We could solve our budget problems overnight!

Does that sound like something you'd be down for?

Why did government spending and the deficit soar under Bush? Why did Bush sign a medicaid drug program that costs 1.1 trillion dollars? Why did government spending and deficits soar during the Reagan years? Daveinla just when did the Republicans ever reduce government or spending? Didn't bush create an enormous government agency in the dept. of homeland security which now employs tens of thousands and spends billions of dollars doing the same work that our military and intelligence agencies are doing also?

That what it comes down to daveinLA. Lower taxes and promotion of small business and industry is what drives this great nation. With Obamacare and the failure to extend the tax cuts, the United States is effectively running itself into the ground. But, I'm sure you know all too well what is happening as evidence shows California's current economic state.

You think because Dave is advocating Conservatism, that makes him a Bush supporter. That is simply not true. Many of the things Bush did many Conservatives were strongly against. Re-evaluate Reagan, our GDP and employment % were at all time high's. Gov't revenue was higher than it had ever been. Why do you think that not only the late 1980's but the 1990's were times of great economic prosperity for the United States? Because of the policies put into place under Reagan.

I HATE TAXES
and I HATE: Bloated entitlement programs, out of control public unions, increases in welfare spending, Gov't takeover of healthcare, attempted gov't control of agriculture, an ineffective stimulus...

Thumbs UP!!!!!!

It's not just about Taxes. It's about people. And what we Americans do for each other.

go home limey.

go home limey.

then why the name brit50?

How do you feel about; public education, paved roads, fire departments, police and libraries?

Hm. Could it be short for "Brittany," "Britney," or any other derivations? And perhaps her age is 50, or she was born in 1950, or she graduated high school or college in 1950. Or she has 50 children...

Nonetheless, I'm finding her to be a bit of a boor, I must say.

She never had children, and she herself was home-schooled; she doesn't drive anywhere (does all her shopping online or has deliveries made); she never had a fire or medical scare; she never had a scare that needed help from law enforcement; she doesn't read.

If fools like him knew or cared how governments really worked then they wouldn't be hard right-wing conservatives to start with.

maybe you don't remember the Reagan years so well things didn't work that well in my state and if you did have a job is was minimum wage and don't take a sick day or someone else was punching your card the next day. Maybe you didn't support bush but you all still voted republican then whined after the fact that you didn't support what they were doing. How convenient.

So how can you be a reagan man? He presided over a huge tax increase and goverment spending and the deficit soared under him. Another spend and deny repuplican.

its spending 68% of the federal budget on social security and the military then giving people tax cuts taht running the country into the ground. Wasnt it Bush who signed a trillion dollar drug plan for seniors while cutting taxes and waging two undfunded wars? Where were all your Republican protests then?

You know the difference between the economic policies of democrats and repubs? The democratic party will tax you up front. You know the cost immediately. The GOP on the other hand BORROWS money to finance tax breaks and future generations get nailed with paying the cost. How do you not understand that basic fact?

You know how Bush financed his tax breaks? He sold 1.5 TRILLION dollars of US securities to COMMUNIST China. That's money the US taxpayer OWES COMMUNIST China back WITH interest. Get it? Your children, their children, their children and probably their children will have their taxes INCREASED so you could get a lousy $300 that you probably spent on some new car speakers. I hope you're proud of yourself.

Oh and by the way genius, Obama CUT TAXES FOR 95% of Americans.

The "failure" to extent the Bush tax cuts to the wealthiest people in the nation will SAVE the US government 4 TRILLION DOLLARS. Obama also lowered the taxes for 95% of Americans. Also the Obama administrations attempt to provide direct support to small businesses that "drive this nation" was stopped in its tracks by the GOP. You don't read much do you?
