Bush rally attracts 100 students! Ooooo...I'm soooo scared!

[brainshrub]

Hey Rove! Let me get this straight: You had a "Kickoff ‘04 Bush" Rally in front of a football stadium in New Orleans before a big game...and you could only get 100 students to show up?

Hahahahahaha

Here in the small town of Asheville, NC we get at least 100 students to flock to our meet-ups! And we don't need no stinkin' football game to draw 'em!

Bush is going to be Dean's ass-monkey.

3. Hell, David Duke got more people than that to his KKK rallies

so there are alot of conservative nitwits running around New Orleans.

Do you mean to tell me that Rove can't even manage to get out his KKK base?

4. 50 of those were "protesting"....in a cage off campus....

5. Well, Marilyn Vos Savant said it a few months back

after a "fan" asked her a question about how often a lot of students go off and protest causes when they have no real "idea how the world really works". (in cases where you use logic, she's pretty good. When it comes to something that can't be proven by logic but is really merely opinion, she's pretty right-leaning).

She said that those types tend to spend more of their free time protesting than studying.

Guess that's why the influx of young republicans in the 80s and 90s. Maybe if they actually studied harder, then they wouldn't need "affirmitive action" as an excuse.

10. But even if Bush wasn't at the event

you would think that in a major conservative city they would be able to dredge up more than 100 people.

14. Sure, thousands would show if it weren't restriced.

"If this were open to all, thousands would go to see any president"

And how many of those thousands of college students coming to see THIS President would show up waving protest signs? Remember, those college students are of drafting age. Those students are looking at a future of paying for this governments record breaking deficits. Those students are paying for college during a recessed economy thats haltingly going through a jobless "recovery."

Access to events where this President shows up is restricted for some very obvious reasons, not all of which have to do with his personal safety. They are trying to protect him from embarassment.

11. Any clothed, male politician was lucky to get 100 students

hours before the Sugar Bowl.

Now, if he brought his daughters, got up on a hotel balcony on Bourbon Street with them, and his daughters obliged the crowd, well, then he might increase his draw.

But for folks in N'wawlins and Louisiana (with LSU in the game for the national title for crissakes), Bush* et al should have thanked their lucky stars anybody showed up.

12. Notice, 5000+ items given away...

...to just 100 people. Did they overestimate the draw just a bit?

[brainshrub]

16. Kathlene Harris was in charge of procurement. (nt)

:D

13. Were they offering them free beer and chicken?

n/t

[Military Brat]

15. No, free kool-aid and beef

:evilgrin:

18. The most telling part

(edited to add extra information)

Young Bush supporters were joined by former U.S. Representative J.C. Watts, Jr. (quarterback, University of Oklahoma, CFL Ottawa Rough Riders, CFL Toronto Argonauts), former U.S. Representative Steve Largent (wide receiver, Seattle Seahawks), Mayor Kirk Humphreys of Oklahoma City (no known football background) and former LSU Quarterback Josh Booty.

Now let me get this straight: Bush's people had a rally with two retired professional football players and a retired LSU quarterback and still only managed to pull 100 students? He's even sorrier than you thought.
