Liberals, please answer me this question

43. Overwhelmed. Numerically. It matters.

Actually I've been screaming about this since 2009 back when we made fun of the Tea Party and no one knew just how many of them would win political office and cause grief for all Americans as elected politicians.

I knew back in 2009 that the Tea Party was VERY big trouble for America. That's why I - and very few others - counter protested them when they started.

And... move on to what? The Tea Party is on the wane now, but will Occupy protests be as large as the March for Women's Lives of days past, or the anti-Bush rallies? Not if large swaths of Democrats don't join up.

When the Occupy spring season hits, African Americans need to join up in force. Immigrant unionization and labor rights groups need to jump in. Antiwar activists need to jump in. The infamous anti-globalist protestors need to jump in. The AFL-CIO and every other labor group should join in. The unemployed and underinsured should join in. Women's groups should be the biggest group out there by far.

If we all joined Occupy, there would be nothing else to talk about on the evening news because CLOSE TO HALF their viewership would be out protesting.

Not getting my point yet? Okay, how about this.

Occupy Wall Street has a General Strike planned on May 1. How many people do you think will join the general strike? How big do you think those Occupy protests will be in the ensuing months? We need them to be BIG, VERY BIG. After what the Republicans have done to us the protests in spring should be the largest that America has ever seen.

Will we meet that target? Will we even come close?
