The low attendance at Thursday's Teabagger rally in Lansing (~200) was blamed on high gas prices ...
... and a lack of buses.

No shit.

Gas prices must have really soared overnight, because 5,000+ were in the same spot in Lansing 24 hours earlier. And that was only half the size of the crowd one week before that.

And they found plenty of buses for their cause.

But then, they weren't Teabaggers.

1. Okay, yeah
We need UN observers for our elections.

They do not have the numbers to have actually won all these elections. And all this blaming the Democrats for not showing up crap divides us and causes flame wars and everything, when no one is to blame but the people in control of our elections.

4. The Carter center actually refused to monitor US elections due to
the ease of which the electronic machines can be manipulated.

We do need observers, badly.

2. A couple weeks ago they were blaming low turnout on bad weather, but it was a clear day without rain

5. Glad to hear The Koch Parties are losing members.
The Koch Parties may have been too ambitious, driving frenzied voters to the polls to "elect" the GOP governors of 2010 to destroy good government as soon as they can.

Those governors have been so cruel and reckless that they awakened many people to realize they weren't in tea parties anymore-- they'd moved on to hard drugs-- The Koch Parties.

7. The same tea-baggers that want to give total free reign to Wall Street speculators?
The irony is delicious.

12. As long as the news stations avoid making the comparison to a prior day clear, why not excuse it?
Amazing is the horribly bad quality of our media.

13. I'm sure it had nothing to do with Trump being the frontrunner
and making their entire movement look clownish and hypocritical.
