I'd bet one of my pension checks that the thugs have used that tactic enough times to be all too familiar with it......

to rwing narratives; but when an organization or individual has people lined up in lines stretching more than a half mile ... to see the warm-up act(s) ... that seems to fly in the face of reality.

... one event to another to make it look like there's more.

That's why Republicans can relax about November, 'cause we're so outnumbered the R's don't need to show up and vote.

He said that Democrats had pissed God off when they removed the works from the platform. Also he claimed we turned our back on Israel and Jerusalam. I told him to go to Hell. He responded that lighting would have struck the stage.

Its better that it was moved indoors. Nobody gets hit by rain or lightning. Indoors its a packed house.

Did you ask him what Republicans did to piss off God so much that he sent hurricanes to disrupt the past two RNCs?

Did RMoney give his speech in a packed football stadium? No. WOuld he be able to fill one? No.

Would the Koch brothers rent busloads and give away tickets if they could get enough to fill the stadium. Of course they would.

Why didn't they? Because no one wanted to see RMoney.

It's not easy going beyond the looking glass. I hope you don't mind if I check in here from time to time for a sanity check.

By the way this person came back at me, when I challenged her, with quote from http://winteryknight.wordpress.com/2012/09/04/democrats-resort-to-busing-in-people-to-fill-up-dnc-convention/

She represented this as some kind of mainstream source and chided me for not being informed. Wintery Knight? Really?

to make it seem like people like Democrats (see Wellstone memorial). It's like they can't believe that people actually like Democrats, President Obama, et. al. It's a crap meme and, frankly, a sign of desperation IMHO that they can't get a lot of people to like their candidate this year. Even Ann Romney seems to be getting unhinged about it.

They don't each drive their own cars. People I know who are going chartered busses. There are also shuttle busses. Some people had to rent rooms in South Carolina because the rooms were full. Maybe they thought they should all arive in there limosines?
