Perhaps I missed your </ sarcasm > tag.

Sorry to have include YOU in the anti-Simon whiner group, if you do not belong there.

Fortunately MOST of the opinion leaders in American conservative thought are now moving OUR way:

George Will - Political earthquake in California? GOP underdog could win governorship
National Review - Simon Can Still Win - Seriously
Bob Novak - California Puzzle -- Poll Shows Simon Beating Davis

Sacramento Freep Picture Update - 11/19

Sometimes, it's hard to believe your own eyes - especially when you are so often dismissed by the press. If they tell us there was a small but enthusiastic rally of freepers in Sacramento, who are we to argue?

Even among people who believe they are conservatives, there seems to be an enormous amount of fear, uncertainty and doubt spread about the Simon campaign. And it is oh-so-easy to be "realistic" and "accept the inevitable" - but if we all behaved that way, well, we just wouldn't be Freepers, would we?

So I would like to present a series of pictures from our "small" rally. I grabbbed these from video taken at the rally, so they are not the finest quality, nor are they going to have the impact of the upcoming video. But I thought it was important to show them before it became accepted truth that our rally was "small" or that few attended.

THANK YOU, daviddennis, for this PREVIEW of your upcoming FReep video!

It is always good to see PROOF of our large numbers at the rally!

Printed in today's Sac Bee (letters to the editor) 10/24:

A missed story
Re "Hundreds join anti-war rally," Oct. 20: The Bee gave great coverage to the anti-war protest, but was silent about FreeRepublic.com's "Dump Davis" rally, which took place on the same day on the south steps of the Capitol.

Our rally had great visuals -- a real dump truck, huge banners, anti-Gov. Gray Davis signs, pro-Bill Simon signs, as well as the "Vast Right Wing Street Theater," which featured two dueling "eGray hookers" to make fun of Davis' "pay to play" policies. About 150 people were in attendance. Several speakers gave rousing speeches. We were there to vent our outrage over Davis' outrageously corrupt governance and to tout our support for Simon.

It was a great rally but not one word was written in The Bee. Maybe it's because we're a totally grass-roots operation; we're not professionals. Or maybe -- and this is my theory -- The Bee is biased.
