Ohio Crowd Flocks To See Edwards W/Kerry-Cheney Needs To Bus Them In
Lou Dobbs had a reporter from Ohio say that a huge crowd waited to see Kerry/Edwards and their enthusiasm level was VERY HIGH!

According to fellow, these were people who would have been voting for Kerry anyway but were visibly more excited seeing Edwards.

Dobbs then mentions Cheney rally and asks reporter about the crowd there.

First of all, the footage they have of Cheny showed him mopping his brow profusely with a handkerchief-back turned to camera.

Secondly, reporter says yes, the crowd was enthusiastic BUT he then goes on to say how well organized Bush/Cheney are in that state and that THEY BUSED PEOPLE IN.

How pathetic is that, Cheney needs to bus in a crowd to make it look like people are happy to see him...

2. That's exactly how the Republicans work - was part of the crowd paid?

They will do anything to make it look like people like them, so that easily misled people will join in and like them because of the existing "crowd".

3. That is because the crowd at Bush/Cheney events is PRE-SCREENED.
They simply cannot face a crowd of regular, average people off the streets.

Judging from the footage of F 9/11 at the Inauguration of Bush, they know that most people are angry as hell.

They probably think they'll be torn limb from limb for occupying the White House illegally (they KNOW they are).

4. People did flock to Kerry/Edwards today.
And there were also some people who came by bus.

So on the one hand, our guys are well-organized enough to bring people in by bus.

And on the other hand, we didn't "need" to do it to fill the venue. The venue was over-flowing before the tour buses arrived.

:yourock:
