You my good sir, never back off of a mistake do you? Assuming is not good, it leads to mistakes and to problems. Better to be sure before you say something.

And you're right, the party in power DOES tend to have more people against them... An unfortunate byproduct of the electoral process... But just because they didn't do the best job doesn't mean people can be more violent in a protest... That's against the law.

True, and I certainly am against violent protests like that. But I also would try and be sure who it is that need to be punished, and not assume on who it is and take action from there.

And that's why I said "at the risk of making an ass of myself." It was a bit of a joke... Only saying that there were probably a lot of Democrats there... And I'd be willing to wager that if we could figure out how many there were, I'd be right.

They did figure out who needed to be punished... Police don't know party lines... (Aside from Luis) They only arrested those in violation of the law.



EDIT: I must retract the statement about police.... Check out AikiRooster's post here... "FOP Endorses McCain."

And laugh at the irony. It's ok. I did too. Hahaha.

Yes but 72 million of them didn't show up now did they?

^^^ That too....

Well, those protesting the Republicans have much, much better and more numerous reasons to be angry.

I think it's a joke anyways, we need protests like the ones that scared Washington back during Viet Nam to make any real changes.

But that's not possible these days; they'll either herd you into a chain link cage called a "Free Speech Zone" (oh, the irony) or spray you with mace and throw you in jail.

George Bush isn't running for president last time I checked... It's John McCain and Sarah Palin. They don't deserve to be protested like that. March on the White House if you want to, but do't do it to the new people just because they're in the same party...

Or voted 90% of the same?

John McCain has publically bragged that he has supported BUSH 95% of the time. Its even on Youtube. His record indicates a 90% agreement of Bush policies. Mrs Palin views are even more extreme that McCains.

Therefore its totally acceptable to equate the two as being a continuation of the Bush Doctrine.

They do have the right to protest as they are right: if McCain is elected there probably won't be any huge changes, at least not in the beginning.
However, beating up cops and doing the typical "ohhh look at us, we're anarchists" stuff really has to go.
