The Obamamessiah draws a crowd
75,000
Not hard to do on a summerish day in Portland, OR, with a sparkling Willamette River in the background, the huge flea market a block away to go to after the bulltwaddle attack.
If I promised everyone everything, and told them to be in a nice setting at a certain hour to hear it from my lips, I would probably draw that many filk also.
A couple of questions. Since our society is composed of producers and beggars, nothing in between, just how many of the "flock" of the Obamamessiah, or more properly, the Obamamahdi are actual taxpayers whose taxed earnings actually support the government Obama wants to expand into a cornucopia?
You'd have to leave out the thousands of "homeless" beggars, they are takers, not producers. Likewise the thousands of college kids. They may have potential as taxpayers, but for now, they too are takers. You have to leave out the burger-flippers, the Wal-Mart "associates" and other subsistence-only paid people who are also takers, not net payers in our stratified tax system.
My guess is that Obama spoke, live, to maybe 15,000 folks who actually matter. The other 60,000 are camp-followers, and if there was any actual justice in this nation, wouldn't even have a vote to waste on the guy.
I'm no Clinton fan, wouldn't vote for her if her name was alone on the ballot, but at the rallies SHE puts together, real wage and salary earners come to hear her speak, people whose taxes actually support the Socialist ideas she has, and people who could be expected to know that they will have to pungle up MUCH more in taxes to pay for all her ideas.
Obama is the Pied Piper of this race, leading all the rats to the voting booth (or to the mailbox here in OR). Unlike in the REAL fairy tale, we've made the bad mistake of giving all those rats the vote, so they will soon delegate their Pied Piper to rule US.
Reminds me, I haven't taken my ballot in yet. Have to do that today, not that I get to vote for anyone who can make a difference.
Bah!

UPDATE: 051908 0835 PDT: The EllTee just sent me this, a look into the past of Obama and his mother, and all the radicals she associated with (in every sense of the term!). I had to go past four pages of pro-Obama references in Google before I found a link to this blog, where the material the EllTee quoted was apparently first published. Obama's parental influence was not just liberal, it was Marxist. Read it and weep, weep for your lost nation should this guy get elected. Dry up your tears quickly though, salt water will be very hard on the guns you're cleaning right now.
