I suspect you will be among some who share your beliefs, some who are there to deride the current so-called "socialist" drift of the country and promote the conservative Republican tax and regulatory agenda, some who are there to scream for Obama's impeachment, and some out of curiosity.

I will watch the coverage of these events with interest. In the end, I think it will be like watching the Ron Paul "phenomenon" during the campaign. People of varying and diverse passions, often with little in common (ie for RP, it was the anti-war crowd on the left and the say NO to most govt taxes and spending crowd on the right ) and attempting andhoping to convince themselves and the country that they represent the vast majority of mainstream America...when in fact, they will turn out to represent no more than 5% of the populace.

Go forth and party your heart out!
First, I voted for Obama.... and yes, the press made him their golden boy and there were extremists who to this day refuse to allow Obama to be attacked. Yet, were very outspoken against Bush and fought for their right to say anything they liked about him.

Secondly, it was an observation that BOTH sides use the same tactics when they try to bully, shame and influence others into not doing something they disapprove of but the person may deep down believe in... or at the very least want to get some idea what it's about first hand.

But again, you turn this into telling me what YOU want this to be about and not what I believe it is about and am willing to go see firsthand.

I think I'll keep you on ignore DC.... you seem to not know me at all, but want to make accusations of who I am and what I believe in rather than reading what I post...... good day.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
