Let's be real here folks... I was at the High Point rallyj, and the images you're seeing of the crowd was the logjam as attendees were waiting to enter the building itself. The line continued around a large building and looped back to W. Green Street, but beyond the photos you see here, it was SINGLE-FILE!!! There were MAYBE 3,000 - 4,000 people there... including those that got in. Good for a high school football game, but pretty lame for a newly-minted Presidential ticket.

But hey, I don't blame folks for not showing up... are these clowns really worth getting excited about? Etch-A-Mitt is a TAX CHEAT (ubs... who's ubs?), and Paul Ryan is a BAD CATHOLIC... just ask the bishops & nuns that have repeatedly spoken out against his "Poor people? TO HELL with poor people!" budget.

Oh yeah, and just so ya know the "patriotic" mood there, I was spit on by some dude waiting in line as I walked by voicing my opinion. Now that's class!

Peace,

Erik

I like the fact that he brought up California the way he did (about 17:15 into the video). It showed some boldness and willingness say something 'unsafe' but true. Kind of surprised me in a pleasant way. Maybe his choice of Ryan has gotten him fired up. So far Ryan seems to have had a positive effect on Romney and his campaign in my opinion.

Leadership: What a much praised quality in all facets of society, in civic organizations, in business, in national government. And now Romney places before us, from the very lips of our near-contemporary freedom fighter, Lech Walesa, the notion that the world NEEDS American leadership. Yet, and herein resounds the dirge of the AMERICA haters (Barack and his HENCHMAN), this nation is only one among EQUALS.

America spits YOU out, Barack. AMERICA LEADS. Someone has to. Who BETTER than us. Go back to your den of thieves, Barack, your den of liars. WE WANT YOU GONE.

YOU DO NOT SPEAK FOR US.

I have many times over the years, called most all the Main streams, along with many Congressman, Senators, in DC and local.

since the 1980's, Radio, Tv, Newspaper, Phone, and postcards. They weren't listening then, but soon they will.

Thank You Right Scoop for your suggestion, it's right on!

We are Tea Party Americans

depends on your assessments of higher quality. After obama and his democrats, the only way to go is up, if we go any deeper we may strike oil, heaven knows we can't have that especially with today's crowd, alway's in a hurry to save the minewt beetle.

Mitt said, America remains home of the earth? It's clear he was speaking of Americas founding documents and ideals. That's a heavy load for us Americans to carry. We are the shinning light on a hill for dreams of free men and free women around the world.

So we add; Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.

We Americans and our families are out of time, we alive right now set the examples, "If not us, who? If not now, When? when

Nice! I'll bet if WJR's Ken Rogulski interviewed the people in THAT line, he wouldn't find a single one dreaming of Obama paying for their gas and their house.

Rosie, thanks so much for the link! It made my day to see those pics. Now, here's hoping this is what it looks like in November and the vast majority are there to kick bo and his cronies so far out of the office they will never be heard from again!
