Looking through a straw.....
 

sorta like the media does. When there is a quorum, usually more than two people on a subject they want to high light and one holds up a sign that says so and so is failing...it gets reported and repeated.
Yesterday NBC reported the two rallies in FL; Obama and Palin. They showed the lines in Daytona Beach where it was highlighted that "...some 2500..." tickets were handed out to eager participants. Then they went to The Villages and panned up Canal Street talked about the retirement area Palin was going to have a rally in....however there was no pictures of the lines or the 16,000 tickets handed out. I wouldn't have expected anything different from any of the network news.
They look through a straw at the side of an elephant and see gray. They then proceed to report the whole world is now gray. All the loyal parrots proceed to pass along the world is gray.
About the only news of relevance from the networks is pending bad weather, and they make a scary entertainment production out of that....so one is better off looking out the window.

Agree with C and R
 

Just because all of those people got tickets doesn't mean that they are FOR her...there are also a lot of tickets left...if she was that good...it would be a sell out....

Gray?
 

Strange analogy, but interesting. Why do you suppose the network news is so down on McCain/Palin? It is their job to weed out the truth. You just don't want to hear it! But, like they say, the truth does always will out.

It may still be a sellout. They will pass out tickets again from what I understand.

If they were actually being "Sold" there would be less than that. IMHO! :icon_wink:

Palin's husband and others have ignored subpoena's served on them as part of the state of Alaska's investigation into the firing of a state official. Palin stated she welcomed the investigation until she teamed up with McBush and she then reversed that position.

Exact same disregard for the law exhibited by Karl Rove and Harriet Miers who have ignored subpoena's from the US Congress. So "change" is following the Bush model???

A "breath of fresh air"?? That's hilarious!

AHA!!! Thanks for the info, Bimmer :1rotfl:

The point of the thread had.....
 

nothing to do with how many were left or who had them it was just pure numbers 16,000 VS 2500...nothing more.
Y'all work way to hard at picking fly specks out of the pepper. I suppose with the ready, fire, aim pelting one is bound to hit something....intended or not!

The media and the truth in the same sentence.......
 

is a real stretch.
Chelsea, the networks are not down on McCain/Palin at all, they are Pelosi like....if it is the other party they are against it. And to give them the credit that it is their job to weed out the truth, while your opinion, is far from their charter. Their charter has absolutely nothing to do with the truth. They will be the first to brag their role is to be first and if it happens to be accurate....all the better. It has been quite commonly known for years the networks are biased.

Truth is truly the end result eventually....it usually comes after all the fluff and what people want to hear is cleared out of the way so we can hear or see it...and in politics.....I look forward to the truth coming out about anything by either party.....politicians have less requirement for truth than the media.

Sarah's Bubble has Burst! Oops!
 

It appears her bubble has burst in many states.

BTK, I agree! The truth is the one thing that will rise to the top eventually. We saw it in the Bush Adminstration, over and over and over again.

You could pick up 4 at a time.
 

You were allowed to pick up to 4 tickets per person. So, there may have only been 4000 to 5000 people picking up tickets for the Palin rally this Sunday.

I did not see that many people there when I picked up 4 tickets around 9:30 a.m. Friday September 19, 2008.

There were a good number but no where near the crowds I had expected.

We will see tomorrow though. I doubt if they will have the 20,000 they made tickets. This 20,000 tickets made is according to the Villages Daily Sun articles of today.

Rokinronda You say Palin didn't know what the Bush Doctrine was. Neither did Charlie Gibson, or anyone else for that matter. I guess you say you did. It was a gotcha question. There are any number of answers to that question. There is no specific Bush Doctrine.

Chelsea.....I look forward......
 

to the day when you respond to a querry or comment without taking a political shot. I thought for a moment it was your response on truth. The partisan shot included in the answer added no value what so ever.
It must be a challenge to have to weigh everything in terms of political preference.

I find life much more interesting without a constant political slant. That is where one meets more real people. Politics requires too much cameleon like activity for me.....but that is me.

I still look forward to a non political positioning response....one day.....and not necessarily to a post of mine. There are many opportunities.:)

In view of what's happening NOW with our economy, why would you be voting for 4 more years of Bush-like politics that McCain/Palin represent?

Because it's a lot better than a second Jimmy Carter term.
