Has anyone seen photos of crowds from rMoney or Lyin Ryan events?

Has anyone seen photos of the attendance at RMoney or Lyin Ryan events? I haven't seen anything at all...just shots of either one at a podium. The photos of the crowds at from Obama events are astonishing.

Surely, if 12,000 people were in attendance at Red Rocks in Colorado -- wouldn't the Romney campaign want people to see that kind of momentum?

they couldn't get enough people through their usual channels, so they opened it up as a free concert for anyone, without any type of political screening. I imagine people went to the bathroom when Romney spoke. Was not indicative of rallies when only Romney or Ryan appear.

The President draws 15k just by himself...

Apparently, Republicans, being the anti-socialists that they are, don't like to rally for their political leaders...but somehow these same people vote in numbers that make our elections extremely close. Or so I'M told.

I love to watch the news footage later that day to see how they are spun. It's all about the shooting angles.

have all white folks.

If they are going to fake a crowd, they could at least put an "ethnic" someone, showing...but, they don't, showing how they don't give a crap about anyone but Puking White Hater Baggers.

Say buh-bye MittWit!
