Massachusetts is 60% liberal, 40% conservative. Like the rest of the country, the liberals are in the cities.
But this is a MASSIVE protest by Massachusetts standards. I can't think of anything comparable, even teacher union protests.
This rally probably drew a lot of apolitical or registered independents, because the Governor has basically given MA residents the finger over this issue.
People know that planes full of illegal immigrants have been secretly landing in Massachusetts with the governor's permission. He denied it, then admitted to it, and now claims that they will only stay temporarily. Only the moonbats believe him. He is known by conservatives here as Obama's Mini-Me --which is exactly what he is.
April 14, 2010 Tea Party Express Rally, Boston Common .... CBS reported 500 people, other media outlets reported several thousand and the Boston Police estimated 14,000 people attended. I attended that rally and posted pictures on FR but they seem to have been deleted.
