| USA Today reports that 810,000 New Yorkers are leaving town over the RNC. |
|
Considering Brit Hume made a huge deal over the number of Bostonians that left town over the DNC (He said "hundreds of thousands", which is silly considering how many people actually live there), I was wondering if anyone has heard of any news groups talking about this. That's a huge number! Isn't it 1 in 10 who actually live there?
Plus, I'm now officially boycotting Fox so I haven't heard any of there talking points. I've found my blood pressure has dropped considerably since I stopped watching. :D

Did you happen to see the pictures of all the people in the streets protesting? That alone is a perfect reason to leave town.

Many of us at the protests were actual New Yorkers, y'know?
If I was gonna leave, I'd leave because slimefuck Republicans exploiting our dead for cynical political purposes make me so sick I will want to vomit anytime I see one.
