10,000 "Truckers for the Constitution" creating havoc on the beltway.

Oooops, Sorry Fox, just 30 showed up

Pete Santilli is the official spokesman for the Trucker’s for the Constitution were to shutdown the Washington DC beltway to impeach the president and arrest Nancy Pelosi and DIanne Feinstein.

As of early Saturday morning only about 30 trucks showed up, a bit short of the 10,000 suggested by Fox News, and the 100,000 suggested by UNOFFICIAL spokesmen Earl Conlon. But even more sadly, the truckers left Texas Tea Party Ugly Congressman Louie Gohmert standing alone in a drizzle at the WW2 War Memorial for the fizzle that never showed up.

Maybe Fox should have offered to pay for the gas and lost revenue. Maybe the truckers are losing revenue due to the shutdown.
Maybe truckers just aren't as stupid as Fox thinks they are.

They page quote's Santilli, it's he who needs to be interviewed.

That's just a sick think to say publicly.

Don't know why these plans upset me so. The Glenn Beck rally a few years ago was shocking in that so many showed up. Since then, the crazy base stays in their comfort zone, watching fox and listening to creeps like Santilli.

are many of them just lost in traffic, and are added to the count to pad their numbers?

call into Stephanie and even Mike Malloy and I always enjoyed their comments - real and to the point. They aren't all the teabaggin' Bubbas that Fox would have us believe.

You mean a bunch of tough-talking conservative freaks DIDN'T follow through on a course of action they had pledged themselves to? My world has been shattered, and I know not what to believe anymore.
