They mostly couldn’t hear, they mostly couldn’t see, but the thousands attending the big rally for Sen. John McCain and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin loved them anyway. The Minnesota Independent interviewed people inside the airplane hangar as the rally kicked off, then caught more on their way out — some who left early, plenty who streamed out after Palin was done, and finally the straight-talk-loving stalwarts who stayed through the end.
Clearly, one disadvantage of holding political rallies in airplane hangars is acoustics are like … well, like an airplane hangar. (One advantage: in an airport building, the work of screening people entering your political rally is performed by uniformed federal Transportation Security Administration workers.)
To see girls playing hooky from Christian school, a woman who had Sarah Palin hair before Sarah Palin, and an Alaska-loving dude they wouldn’t let in because he brought a dog, watch the MnIndy video:

Wow such diversity of thought and race. Those evantriliquists sure are a talkative and thoughful bunch. Too bad the rapture didn’t happen today, aye. It would have been John McCain standing alone in an airport hanger.

Sad. People who haven’t realized how the Republicans and their amoral values have destroyed their lives and their futures. Apparently, they couldn’t hear Michele Bachmann acclaim John McCain’s opposition to the Republican Majority to prevent the passage of legislation that would have prevented the emerging economic collapse. I heard no report of tarring and feathering of McCain, Palin or Bachmann. Do these people even listen to what their “leaders” are saying? Homer Simpson is not an unfair stereotype of a typical American.

The morons from Blaine who worship at the altar of GOP neo-con artistry will rue the day they vote for the McSame/Palin ticket. These two clowns are a disaster-in-waiting. Can you imagine Palin making any pronouncement on anything. She and McCain are truly representative of the dumbing-down of what used to be a semi-thoughtful nation. These two couldn’t run away, much less run a government. I can already see the werewolves licking their chops, waiting for these two bumbling idiots to take office. The 2008 financial meltdown will be a cakewalk compared to what we’ll see if the McPalin team wins. America - heading itself to Third World status quite soon.

Does anyone from that party every look around at these events and just once ask themselves, “How come everyone looks just like me”? White, white and more white. Sorry, I’d be embarrassed if I were them. But then again, that’s just one of the many reasons why I’m not a republican.

Funny how some of those posting here degrade Palin as inexperienced. She has more experience than Obama for Gods sake, but they’re blind to the facts. Thanks to Capitalism and Conservative policies, this country is still the wealthiest by far (http://www.economist.com/countries/usa/). Of course you folks will cite the financial crisis as the Conservatives fault. Then answer this; Why isn’t the vaunted media investigating Rep.Barney Frank D-MA and Sen. Chris Dodd D-CT for improprieties involved with their governance of the finance and banking commissions they bith are chairmen of??? Why aren’t they asking questions like “Senator Dodd, can you explain why you’ve received from lobbyists representing, Bear Stearns, Goldman Sacks, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, and Countrywide to name a few to your re-election campaign $13,163,356?

Wow. These little lambs sound as if they’d lose to Trig Palin at tic-tac-toe.
If Mama/Centerfold Palin can be sold to Jesus zombies, KISS fans, the ass-kicking squad and babe-gazers alike, that’s quite the crossover appeal.

I am thankful that McCain and Palin have the skin of an elephant, the heart of a cat of nine lives and the persistence of an olympic runner! May the Lord, who controls all things, grant to each of them the guts to stick it out to the end because their cause is worth more than gold!
