If One Million Freepers Marched On Washington |
|
What would happen to Cheeto sales, hand sanitizer sales, and tissue sales in their hometowns?

1. They would have filled every Trailways bus in the continental US, |
|
and many of them would not be able to find their way home again.
We would have large numbers of moronic whining homeless freepers trying to get back to wherever they came from, probably take months to get them all home again, still carrying their signs.
It would be pretty sad, really.
I doubt they could find a million people - they keep saying that, and maybe 700 tops show up....."Well, it was raining..."

24. You do know Continental Trailways no longer exists, right? |
|
You seem to be pretty far out of the loop. Greyhound has a monopoly on busses in America now, and the poor man's only mode of travel is unaffordable to poor men.

28. WOW, man - last time I took a bus for any real distance it was a |
|
Trailways...from Berkeley CA to Harrisburg PA. December 1976.
You mean things changed since then?

30. Their line was absorbed by Greyhound. |
|
There are remnants around the country, supposedly, but the main part of the company was aggressively bought out by Greyhound. Details at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailways_Transportation_System

3. Those racist half-wits had trouble assembling a few thousand with teabags.... |
|
A million in DC??? HA!
Righties have never been good at assembling and protesting. They're all talk. Fucking lazy-ass keyboard warriors.
We have nothing to fear in the way of a "conservative uprising".
The morans have lost.

10. True. But I suspect a greater % would more so side w/them over leftist/progressive ideals/values |
|
That's why rightist ideology holds such sway as it's basic tenets are so intertwined and pervasive throughout the overarching aims and goals of the corporate culture that people are raised within and indoctrinated into mindlessly abiding.

11. It would raise the collective IQ of both DC and the rest of America? |

Just responding to your title..
And besides, freepers use Crisco and socks, not hand sanitizer and tissues.

15. There's Be A Stench In The Beltway Worse Than There Is Now |
|
First...they only wish there were 100,000 or even 10,000 who would show up...and then it would be the mottliest crew you'd ever want to see. Just look at what a bust the "tea parties" were...not just in the low turn-out, but in how unfocused those demonctrations were. On our side I saw a similar thing during some of marches (that the corporate media ignored) in 2002-2004...an anti-war rally turning into a rally for Code Pink or Palestinian rights or Free The Whales. WIthout focus, the purpose of organized protest turns into chaos.
The Freepers dream there are a lot more of them than they are...and knowing how selfish almost every rushpublican is, many will stay in the basement letting others do the dirty work. The first violence attributed to the Freepers will be their ultimate demise.

Should read:
"What if 1,000,000 Freepers drove their pickups, SUV's and other gas-guzzlers to DC?"
Answer: A quick fix for DC's tourism, natch.

27. It would actually be the 226.4 Freeper March. They suck at math. |
|
However, if 1 million freepers actually did march on DC, there would be a rather large earthquake. The epicenters would be men's restroom stalls all over DC.

Where are our labor unions getting people out ?
Where feminist groups who should have big stake in this for families?
