Do the sheep mind being bussed in by Flip-Flopper in a cage on top of one of his Cadillacs?

If pol. is stumping, there'd be nothing unusual about having extra seating unless of course the entire thing was a set up and the bleachers were ordered specifically for the "bussed in" crowd.

and there are a lot of wingnuts that hate President Obama. They'd vote for a polished turd if it meant they could defeat the President. This election is going to be close. Maybe not close in the Electoral College, but close enough that it could be stolen.

Just need to make the point that if folks that voted for President Obama in 2008 are happy with "legitimate rape", then stay the fuck home like you did in 2010.

If folks are happy that Repuke State Houses all over this country are restricting voting rights, then stay the fuck home like you did in 2010.

If folks want to dismantle Medicare and turn Social Security in the Las Vegas Roulette wheel, then stay the fuck home like you did in 2010.

If however, you care about this country, and you want to finish the fucking job started in 2008, then by God!!!!! We'd better get our asses to the polls.

It won't be enough to re-elect President Obama, in every case where it is possible and doable...WE HAVE TO SEND THE CHEETOES-STAINED-PENIS TEABAGGERS BACK UNDER THE FUCKING ROCKS THEY CRAWLED OUT OF!

The audience members were very close to Romney, almost as if he was in the crowd, I don't know if that was due to the camera angle or the seating.

I didn't see any medium or long range footage for the few minutes I watched, so it was hard to tell how far out the crowds expanded.
