could also be read as “30% of the population are dependent slackers and hard-core Communists”

What would be the number if the TV viewership were added in?

I’ve been waiting to see this headline for a long, long time. The thing is the con is worse and goes back further than most people can even begin to realize.

Neah. We were ALL conned. After all, the only alternative we offered was RINO McCain.
The only reason (other than Obama) I voted for him, was that I hoped he’d take ill and Palin would take over.

I agree with his sentiments. But I don't think we have 70% any more. Probably closer to 60/40. If it was 70% Obama wouldn't still have 45% approval. But he does and the fact that we don't like it doesn't change it.
Over 40% of this nation takes more from the government than they give. They are never going to want to go back to the way things were, because in the world before the progressives the willfully ignorant and the lazy were not rewarded for their vices.

Thanks for posting.
I followed Hewitt on his radio show while I was in Los Angeles,
right from the start till I left in 2005.
He started off with a diplomatic approach to the Dems/Socialists...
but he has grown a spine over the year.
Especially in the aftermath of 9-11 when the Dems/Socialists
revealed themselves to be more aligned with The Soldiers of Allah
than with the USA.
Hewitt is obviously a very smart guy. But he did get an education
in “enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC” after 9-11.

I think the difference in the number at the Beck Rally, and the Sharpton Rally is the tell-tale evidence of how we really have them outnumbered, and that we are taking the threats posed to our country a lot more seriously that just those worried about losing their handouts.
Beck's Rally attended by people who fully intend to participate in taking the country back, Sharpton's rally attended by those who only focus on race, using the same old, tired, 1940's mantra of "da man is holdin' me down".
But the time for trying to reason is past, either you agree with them 100%, and hand them yours, your kids and your grandkid's wallets, or you're a "racist".
The time for talking and trying to explain normal common sense to these chia pets is over...all they want is to be "watered" with your tax money a lot, and often.
Quit feeding the feral cats, and they will stop coming to your door.

2008, voters, for various reasons, voted for change...
2010, voters, for one reason, will vote for a refund...
...and that reason is they (even though we tried to warn them) did get conned into believing a bald-face lie.

LOL! Same here. Point for point.

Also interesting is that the Beck rally was racially diverse to some extent.
Sharpton’s rally was not. Yet the LSM chose to focus on all the ‘white people’ at Beck’s rally and not mention ‘black people’ exclusively attended Sharpton’s.
Sharpton knew that the LSM would give ‘equal coverage’ for ANY event held on the same day as Beck’s. So, with a small quickly organized event he’d get maximum face time for Sharpton and be able to continue his race hustle jive, which has him living the life of a multi-millionaire while ‘serving’ a community of poverty. Sharpton’s slave mentality government assistance approach has kept his congregation in shackles.
If only they’d traveled across town and heard Dr. King’s niece speak about the truth path for all Americans to reassert our national independence and identity.
Slavery is now an attitude perpetuated by the ruling liberal class to keep the poor in chains and assure a massive group of voters will keep them in power.

Wrong. Big government republicans (McCain) conned you, too.

"What would be the number if the TV viewership were added in?"Don't forget the facebook live feed. At the end over 106,000 were watching. I was amazed by that number. Having watched a number of events live online, that was the largest audience I have ever seen.

I refused to vote for the lesser of two evils (my Idaho electors were going to McCain anyway). I voted for Bob Barr and walking out of the voting booth I felt GREAT!
No more lesser of two evils for me.
