Dang, most people wait until they have to go before they make a move, guess you needed a strong bladder out there today.

The Park Police stopped making estimates of crowds a long time ago.

The media underestimation reminds me of what they’ve done with other protests like the big pro-life one I attended back in 1990.

Ah, yeah, a little too communistic, isn’t it?!

I like the “American Party”. Or my son suggested the “United Party”

The pictures of the packed in people at 14th and E were taken while the crowd was marching and before they were packed in front of the Capitol. The crowd, when packed in, went about a quarter mile down the mall. So Im not buying the 1-2 million number. But hey, Ill go with it if ABC buys it.

Thanks so much! This was a treat to see for those of us who couldn’t make it. Loved the “Friedman, not Marx” and “Boob Czar” marchers! What a hoot!

Local ABC station just reported “as many as 75,000”. There’s easily more than that in that first picture you posted. Then they immediately reported that many health care supporters showed up for Obama’s speech like it was comparable, I found another report that only 250 supporters showed up there.

WOWZA! Look at the time lapse! That is AMAZING! The MSM is dead to me. (Tens of thousands. Whatever.) Totally dead. I am sending this to everyone on my e-mail list.

The truth WILL get out. They can’t stop this from going viral.

That aerial pic with the teepees is Stand in the Gap (Promise Keepers) in 1997. I was at that and have that pic framed. I was at today also and would guess not as big as PK, but bigger for sure than “Million Man” march.

If you had a town full of these people you could leave your doors unlocked at night like the old days.
