Houston Texas Bush protestors stage march to City Hall

Days after the inauguration of President Bush for a second term, more than 100 protesters marched in downtown Houston to let the world know that even on Bush's home turf some were resisting his administration.

2. wow -- These guys had great lines !!! Like...

"We've got some joker who stole the White House two times who is now trying to tell us how to live our lives."

"Bush was never, never supposed to occupy the presidency," said Cristobal Hinojosa, of the group Mexicanos en Accion. "But he's occupying the presidency just like the troops are occupying Iraq -- with no reason. We are not going to bend our heads to power. We are going to continue to fight for what is right."

Not sure if I get this one, Do you??
"Whoever they vote for, we are ungovernable."

3. i liked to hear how they 'marched toward the Bush supporters

and backed them into the street'! It shows they are 'mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore'! Good for them! I live in Houston, and hadn't heard of this protest going to take place, but I heartily support them. More Dems need to be like them and 'back the Bushies into the street'! :bounce:
