I say we descend upon Washington, DC en masse and create a massive traffic jam with horns blowing all around the Capitol Blg.

That's been tried before and it failed.

Take a gander at what happened to the Bonus Army when they tried it.

I'm not a big fan of demonstrations, but they can be effective.

As an example, an American prisoner of war in North Vietnam once said that a North Vietnamese officer told him that the Communists would win the Vietnam War on the streets of New York--and they did.

In addition, if you read all the way through the article to which your post is linked, you will notice that the Bonus Army eventually got its bonus.

Yep. You’re right, Lurker. They fired on, and killed, their very own... It speaks volumes about our govt. and they’d do it again in a heartbeat with this Rat bunch in office.
We gotta be smarter, but hit em where it really hurts.

OK, since you enjoy wallowing in your negativity on the Rush threads, I will post this here as well.

Worth repeating...

So what are you doing here on FR? Trying to get your defeatist jollies out by shouting to others that their plan will fail? I've noticed that every Rush thread is graced with your negative diatribes, good for nothing and exhibiting no positive ideas, but rather ruminating on defeat.

Why don't you just take your act away, and stop bothering the rest of us.

L... loser.

On one hand you are showing your defeatist attitude and cowardice on this thread but on another hand you are advocating on another thread violence against Senator Lindsey Graham who voted against the welfare and pork bill but you do not like his votes on other issues.

For certain you are not on our side. Go to DU or DailyKos, they will love you there.
