Well done all you protesters. I would have loved to have joined you on the streets of NYC
I seen the march on BBC and they estimated a total crowd of nearly half a million yet my friend in Michigan said she was told by Fox news that only about 50.000 turned up
Hehhe yet another case of the American major tv networks in bed with the GOP. Or am I just being way too cynical?
However I do hope you give the “Arch Thief” a well deserved boot in November and hopefully this may mean and end to this hideous Bush Dynasty once and for all. But I wouldnt bet on it.
Now come on all you Americans, you have all seen Fahrenheit 9/11 so wake up, smell the coffee and VOTE.
I will sign off now with a honest, true and heartfelt message from Britain.
GOD BLESS (the real) AMERICA

Thanks, William
Congrats on the medals in the Olympics. I was ashamed to even see our athletes there with how our pResident is molesting the world right now.
No one I know takes Fox News seriously—if anything it’s listened to as entertainment. And I live in a pretty conservative part of the country.
I will tell you many people I know who agreed with dubya early on definitely don’t now. So, let’s just hope the networks are just in denial.
