The desperate and still, very sore losers, on the left are continuing to make pathetic attempts to civilly protest the now certified election of George W. Bush. From staging anti-war protests in Washington on the inauguration day to urging citizens to boycott ‘red' products and refrain from spending money on the 20th, their obsession is bordering on compulsive.
This latest website that I ran across is asking people to not spend a single penny on January 20th. Not on gas, not on groceries, food, or tolls. Nothing! The idiocy of such an attempt should be blatantly obvious to any observer. Any money purposely not spent on the 20th will be spent either on the 19th or the 21st.

I'm gonna buy that Gulfstream VI I've been wanting. I deserve a newer jet. I'll name my new jet, "Dubya is still my President II, January 20, 2005"
Nah, you wish. Loony leftists don't shop at Wal-Mart.
Target had better sit up and take notice, tho. Others could be named as well.
I going to WalMart on the 20th and buy a few more cases of shotgun shells, and a few boxes of 9mm.
this is opposed to all that money those broke college students and welfare recipients were going to spend?

Ah yes... the Democrat's Utopia!
Your error is in attributing critical thought to liberals. This can be an insurmountable task for people who lack the human gene required to process reality.
A block away from a liberal-losers protest in downtown Seattle. lol

The one about the Rat left me howling with laughter
I spent $1,500 at Lowes on the 20th...damn that felt good.
Not a word about the success of the no spend day, must have been a huge success.
