What a fun time! She is a firecracker for sure! The family and I went to the rally @ Verizon on Friday and had a great time. The crowd exceeded what they thought since they had roped off half of the lawn seating, but the normal area filled and we all but filled that place with 24,000 screaming conservatives! It was awesome!!!!! Now, due to my day-job....I've attended 3 Obama events, and 1 Hillary rally. Totally absent from those events but were NOT absent at the Palin Rally: The Pledge, The National Anthem, singing of "God Bless America" and an acknowledgment of all the Vets and service members that were in the audience and fighting for us as we held the rally. I guess it just goes to show where the priorities lie at the Democratic rallies......they prefer to show video after video of self-serving propaganda versus honoring the United States. Here are some of the photos: My little Republican - without marker stains!:  Sarah was sitting right next to me:  My favorite sign:  The rest of the event:        |

.............. Now, due to my day-job....I've attended 3 Obama events, and 1 Hillary rally. Totally absent from those events but were NOT absent at the Palin Rally: The Pledge, The National Anthem, singing of "God Bless America" and an acknowledgment of all the Vets and service members that were in the audience and fighting for us as we held the rally. I guess it just goes to show where the priorities lie at the Democratic rallies......they prefer to show video after video of self-serving propaganda versus honoring the United States................ Celebrity sightings No Obama rally is complete without a few celebrity sightings. Actor Justin Long, co-star of "Live Free or Die Hard" and the popular "I'm a Mac/I'm a PC" commercials was spotted by the middle schoolers and posed for photos. Actor John de Lance, better known as "Q" from "Star Trek: The Next Generation," was also present. Not present, or at least not singing the National Anthem at the rally was Londonderry senior Zach Bencal.
Bencal, who sings the anthem for a number of school events and is actively involved in local community theatre, had been contacted by the Obama campaign to sing the anthem. He agreed to do so, then was told later in the evening the anthem had been scratched from the program. Bencal said he was told by the campaign the decision was a simple programming change to make room for another speaker.
"I guess it just wasn't meant to be," Bencal said.
Sandra Abrevaya, communications director for the Obama campaign's Manchester office, confirmed the choice had simply been a last-minute scratch from the rally's program, which included the Pledge of Allegiance.
"We regret the miscommunication with Zach about today's event but we are pleased that several other New Hampshire residents were able to speak at today's event, where thousands of voters in both parties gathered to hear Sen. Obama discuss his plan to bring the change we need to Washington."A couple more political speakers was more important to Obama's campaign than to honor our country and fighting men and women. |

Great pics Travis! It's sickening that more so called "Americans" aren't upset about the lack of these things at Obama's rallies!

LMAO. A guy just in front of my wife offered her $10 for her nachos as she returned to her seat with them. My wife laughed and he said, no.....$10 for your nachos! My wife said, "mmmm, nah....... $100 for my nachos!" so the dude pulls out a wad of $100 bills!!!!! I'm about to die thinking this guy is going to pay $100 for some nachos....my wife started cracking up, and everyone around us is thinking......."dang, this chick's gonna get $100 for her nachos!" After several laughing moments my wife ate her nachos and I went home without being $100 richer. It was great seeing American Capitalism at work! LOL |
