This is happening so often that its starting to become a clear trend – that America’s broad middle is taking time out of the day to make it voice heard…something confined almost exclusively to the left is now becoming a center/right phenomena:
There are well over 300 people in Fort Collins right now for the counter-protest against ObamaCare…
And about 50 in support.
UPDATE: Trying to get a hard count, and I got to 76 pro-ObamaCare people and 337 in the counter-protest at about 11:50 a.m.
UPDATE 2: This is getting bigger by the minute (on our side of the street, that is). Then again, we’re on three of the four corners of the intersection, as opposed to their lonely outpost.
UPDATE 3 (12:15 PM): It will be interesting to see how this is reported in the press. It’d be hard to spin this as anything other than an embarassment for the “Organizing for America” machine. We’ll see…
UPDATE 4: Is Betsy Markey paying attention? This is a pretty interesting cross-section of the center-right coalition – lots of new faces.
UPDATE 5: I see a lot of cameras. Send photos if you’ve got ’em.
UPDATE 6: Ouch. There’s a pro-ObamaCare sign that says “VA HEALTHCARE FOR ALL”. If that’s your best pitch…
UPDATE 7: Hard count at well over 430 as of 12:30 PM. Not even 150 across the street (they’re spread out to try to fill the corner, so they’re easier to count.)
You can laugh, if you like, liberals – but the TEA Party movement is for real, growing and will become predominant in the 2010 campaign. Those who cross TEA, will be in peril while those who ride this movement – whatever their political party – will come out the winners.
