KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine -- Even though President George W. Bush wasn't in town, more than 1,000 anti-war protesters marched by his family compound Saturday in Kennebunkport.
Activists from all over the country arrived by bus, bicycle and foot at a local school to begin a two-mile march to the Bush summer home at Walker's Point.
Along the way they pounded drums, chanted and carried signs and banners with slogans such as "Don't Pay for this War" and "Care for Vets." Some protesters called for Bush's impeachment, but others had more moderate messages of support for the troops but opposition to the war.

Democratic presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich and Cindy Sheehan, who became an activist after her son was killed in Iraq, spoke to the crowd.
Sheehan said it was energizing to be with people who want this war to end.
Rent-a-mob?
LOL - must be a better vacation locale than the Texas ranch of previous summers.........who cares if GW is there or not.
Of course...next stop should be in Iraq. See how the Iraqi people handle this bunch of morons.
Protesting to an empty house?
Pathetic.
1000?
Huge?
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Pathetic.
So which is it? “Hundreds” or “huge?” ROTFL! Liberals just won’t give it up. Keep waving the white flags you idiots. The GOP will take back the Congress and win the White House in 2008!
I read this was a bust???
Wow... from all over the country? Stupifying...
SNORT.
Note to the protestors...
Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; but urge me not to use moderation.

Also remember that Kennebunkport is 65 miles from Boston on I-95.
It would be easy to recruit 5 schoolbuses' worth of freaks to ride from Boston to the seashore on a sunny Saturday in August.
Wouldn't cost Soros more than 5K.
Huge?
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Pathetic.
LOL, Ditto!
Protest could be largest in Kennebunkport history
They were expecting up to 6,000.
Guess the check didn't clear.
1,000? Hundreds of thousands turned out for anti Vietnam war protests.
In other news.....Anti-War Protesters March in Kennebunkport (AP Makes Excuses for Low Turnout)
But they all live in the Boston area.
I remember seeing a liberal coworker interviewed on TV during a Bush protest outside the UN in NYC back in 2003.
She told the reporter she was from Nebraska but the trip was worth it to express her opinion.
She was from Nebraska - but she had been living and working in Manhattan for the past 10 years at that point.
This million man march was really, like you said 200-250 people, because the MSM uses the new fuzzy math.
Yeah. Adds up to about 20 people per state. Huge.
