This guy and his wife were being interviewed by some news media. He claimed that he was a former Republican who was disenchanted by the huge deficits under Reagan and Bush. I had a really hard time with his story. First off, he seemed to be trying a bit too hard to prove his GOP credentials -- wearing a tie to a protest? The real giveaway, however, was the reverse side of his sign (next pic). He also claimed that he worked for a defense contractor and that his wife was a school teacher (that part I actually do find plausible).
