We need to be at home working on campaigns now. It’s not the time for a march on DC.

“We were getting over two inches of rain in hour in parts of Virginia this morning,” Mr. Milton said. “Now it’s a nice sunny day. But this is a very poor turnout. It ain’t no millions. And it ain’t looking like there’s going to be millions. Hundreds is more like it.”

Weather is always a factor in the turnout for a large political rally and the weather seems to have been very bad in Virginia as only several hundred of the millions who planned to go could get there due to weather conditions.

I live in Virginia and this article is the first I’ve heard of this demonstration.

Unfortunately or fortunately however you look at it the people that need to go to an event like this have jobs or other responsibilities. The progressives that attends rallies of the left have nothing else to do or get paid for attendance.

The organizers are calling for a coup. That’s why conservatives are staying away.

I first heard of it yesterday. Whoever organized this did a terrible job of getting out the message.

What difference does it make whether 500 or 5,000,000 show up, the media will make it seem like only 5 showed up.

Street demonstrations have very little effect.
Especially if the MSM's don't report it; it's like it never even happened.

Besides my need to concentrate on some things in my life (notably work), I also had a feeling this would be the case.

Here’s the deal: Only the stomach will motivate. When people actually get physically hungry and without shelter and energy, will they start REALLY rising up.

Great idea but I have to work.

Millions of Obama voters are depending on the income.

These people are calling for an overthrow of the Government. That is Treason. Of course we would never attend such a thing. We love America.

The sad part is we are painted with their ridiculous display instead of being credited for staying as far away from it as possible.

These things will never work with conservatives. The conservatives I know have no problem defending what is theirs, and are very reluctant to take anything from anyone.

So, the only way you will see mass action by conservatives will be, like the Bundy ranch, where they have banded together to protect something, not march to kill and take something.

Operation American Spring, billed as a Friday morning multi-million patriot march on Washington, D.C., to oust leadership from the nation’s capital — from President Obama to House Speaker John Boeher

Unfortunately, showing up at an event billed as an attempt to oust Obama from power is just begging to have your prostate examined in minute and exhaustive detail by the IRS, the FBI, the Secret Service, etc., etc.

And then get thrown in a re-education camp for sensitivity training for a few months.

Well the Million Muslim March had 29 people...or maybe it was 37.
Did we beat that?

He said hopes were high when he arrived in Alexandria, Va., a day or so ago and found motels and hotels were sold out for 30 miles around.

Hotels in the D.C. area are always sold out in the Spring. That's when all of the school trips to the Capitol occur, something that has happened every single year for the past many, many years. They did not have the sharpest knives in the drawer organizing this operation.

What’s needed is a gigantic Tea Party gathering on the National Mall and in every major city on July 4th.
