The Crowds!! WOW WOW..The CROWDS!!!
   
Ha..ha..ha.. The Teaparty thing in Nevada was billed as 30,000 or at least 10,000 would be coming. For christ sakes we have more people than that show up for a Little League baseball game in my community!! In fact, look at the McCain/Palin pathetic events over two days.

At the first one, they had to rope an area to draw the crowd closer to the stage to make it look like they had anybody there. And, today's McCain rally was about the capacity of a gym floor with folding chairs! Here's what really pisses me off:

Palin IS NOT drawing the crowds the media wants us to believe NOR is the Teaparty. In fact in DC, the crowd in front of the Capitol during HCR vote was pathetic. Not one of the ******* media will admit to how lame this has all become. They want us to believe that at least as many people as saw Obama take the oath of office are swarming to these events. So, if you can get 100 ignorant morAns to stop on a street corner and listen to you, please call Fox or CNN, etc. and you, too, can become known as "a great political force". What a farce!

1. Probably more media personnel than Teapartiers.
   
Pathetic.

2. I'd love to have an accurate crowd count.
   
If its a thousand or less - then these baggers have had their day.

4. this is why we need a liberal in charge of a major media outlet.
   
this is FAR more important than winning any intellectual argument.


sadly, the time for debate has passed. it takes two parties agreeing to play by the rules for that to work.


we need a bigger microphone.

5. I heard crowd estimates of about 8000...
   
not a bad size, but still nothing that I would call great. I've seen protests of thousands upon thousands converging on DC. No way in hell the teabagging crowd can even come close to that.

6. The thing is the media keeps building this bunch of trash up
   
they want to cause trouble. They must want someone to be assassinated. It makes good stories. wouldn't it be nice if the media was sent running around not know when they would be spit on and cursed at.

Isn't Searchlight, NV a pretty small town?

[BadCat]

I'm seeing numbers guessing around 8000 showed up.

The population of Searchlight, NV is around 768.

Yep, and it looks like it's about 30 miles south of Vegas in the middle of nowhere.   Sarah probably brought more money into that town than Reid has this year,

I am sure the local brothels are not happy though. They even cleaned the pool Reid learned to swim in. Why haven't they built that train yet they ask??
