Oh, no they DONT cover them more than the large rallies!
When several thousand people attend a rally, you can bet your sweet bippy they come back and talk about it!
Also, when people read about several thousand people attending a rally i the Capital, you can bet your sweet bippy people hear about it more than a small townhall meeting like we had in Hartford,Simsbury and Woodstock, regardless of how many YouTube videos had to go out to let people see what happened inside!
You must be just a curmudgeon! These things WORK!
Yeah...that'll work. That will motivate me to go. Your powers of persuasion are otherworldly. You should be in sales.
I don't think they work. I see no evidence of it. I see far more coverage of the town hall meetings than the tea parties, and I have been counter-protesting and demonstrating for eight years.
That is my opinion, but I am not trying to convince anyone to NOT go. I was looking for an argument that would convince me TO go. If you're gonna be a smart-ass to a potential ally who is on your side of the fence ideologically, you are of no use in trying to change the minds of those who oppose you or who are on the fence and that makes you a liability.
