How many of these people were paid.

This was the first thing that was shown on The Today show this morning. Anything to try to make Bush look hated...

"The demonstrators along the route were far outnumbered by people waiting at the ends of their driveways who held signs saying "We love you" and "We support you."...says it all! (people owning homes paying taxes vs. mostly academian nuts)

"Drop Bush, Not Bombs."

What is that? Man, if people don't have a cause they anticipate one!

Summary of Protester's Actions

Protesters hammered on the hoods of police cars...
Bush supporters in formal attire were jostled and taunted by protesters...
protesters threw things at the police...
Protesters at one point pushed down a barricade and a female police officer who was standing behind it...
Many of the protesters criticized... (LOL - I threw that in to see if you were paying atention)

fwiw, the DUmmies are trying to "un-freep" this MSNBC poll. Do you agree with the President or the Enviro-nuts?

Protestors need to get a life.........
Secondly they need to chill the f**k out.
Maybe some of their liberal friends can hook them up with some mental evaluations free of charge.

Let me tell you what these disrespectful protesters need. They need what their parents never gave them. They need their pants yanked down and their butts lit up with belts and paddles till they can't sit down for a month!
