.....To be a public observer of the process and to hear the rhetoric.

Anyhow I showed up and they would not let me in unless I have both my GOV ID and Voter REG, I did not have my voters reg and they could not look it up.I mentioned I wanted to public observe the process.

So I just went back and blended in like one of them with the line of PUGS just to hear the party spew. The event started at 10am and by 9am the cafeteria that the caucus was being held in was at capacity and there were 250 people in line in the cold weather. So anyhow MANY in line were complaining about having to stand in the cold with the possibility they may not get to cast a vote and moaning and groaning about why didn't the use the larger gym at the school.....

Well the smarty pants came out of my spirit and I said " Well guys since we are the party of lesser government why are we having the caucus in a government owned school when our community has some major corporations with some massive size conference rooms and we have several large churches that seat 800 or more and stop using GOVERNMENT......... BLANK DEAD STARES IS WHAT I SAW...It was like being at a Zombiefest..

I waited round and said Buddy Roemer a few times and left.

3. Warning! Pointing out hypocrisy to repugs can be dangerous to you're health.

4. Heh.

I haven't had any "health consequences" but it does tend to bring a party to a halt.

5. i think you need to make a correction?

"started at 10am and by 9am" ... i'm just not getting a good idea of how quickly the place filled up.
