Fox News On 9/12 crowd numbers (the democrats are playing games)
According to Faux news, the democrats are only saying 2 million will turn up, so anything under that will be considered a failure.

According to the teaparty organizers, a crowd of 50 thousand in DC is considered a success.

3. That's about 1/10 of the attendance of a NASCAR race. More show up at Div II football games.

4. No way, man, I've seen their bus list. There must be 500 buses on their way...
Full of teabaggers.

Is Fox suggesting their buses are going to be EMPTY?

7. I estimate 2 million.
Fox has been saying 1 million for weeks and I think this whole Joe Wilson thing is going to double that.

11. Something around 250 busses packed to the brim, including the under-storage would max out at around
25k people bussed in. If they're all donning clan wear, that number falls in half due to the space required for hoods and capes.

Seriously though, I think if they hit 30k that will be a surprise.

13. Oh, I know, just adding some numbers to the mix. Two million might be an underestimation though.

So wait, let me get this straight.

Dem party officials are taking "teabagging officials" at their word in order to punk them?

I love it!

15. Most of your viewers are too old to go.
Your wealthy supporters have better things to do. Then a big block are too drunk and poor to go.
It'll be like a Maxwell Smart bit. 50,000 will march on DC! Your bluffing Smart. Would you believe 100 Freepers? Not a chance Smart. How about 10 militia idiots and Ted Haggard?
