Tea Party Success!
That was a huge protest. I have not seen one as big since the anti-war protest in 2005. It was far more peaceful too. In that protest, the city, county, and state police filled the whole street in full riot gear, with a line of police on horses in front. Still idiots tried to break the police line. The problem back then is that along with the peaceful liberty loving anti-war protesters there were violent socialists and anarcho-communists groups. Ironic.
Anyway, I digress. Unfortunately, they did not have a stage for the speaker so I could not see the speaker at all, and it was hard to hear what they were saying. In addition, due to the large number of people, I could not easily get to an area where I could see them. There were a lot of libertarian type people. I found some Campaign for Liberty members and a Libertarian party guy. There were also unfortunately some republicans lurking around, forgetting the big government message Bush was all about, but that was to be expected.
All in all it was a success. Unfortunately, I did not bring a proper camera, but I did manage to get some with my mobile. I will post them soon.
