Nice shot of the crowd.
No, I understood your comment about the irony of a Brit being a member of the Tea Party.
By the way, did you know that Queen Elizabeth II visited Boston during the American Bi-Centennial Celebrations in July of 1976. The Governor of Massachusetts at the time (?) was speaking from the Old State House balcony with QE II at his side. He presented her a check in the amount of the tax that would have been paid if the patriots had not disposed of the tea from the ship into Boston Harbor. It was made known later that the British Government never cashed the check!
This info is by the Historical Narrators on Boston’s Freedom Trail... I’ll have to “fact check” this.
I thought it was my crappy iPad audio.. It’s like dogs howling.
Really. They could’ve found a children’s choir that would do a much better job with that song.
“Ha! Perry can’t bring rain to Texas....oh But Sarah can bring it to Iowa!.....lol”
lol
Looks like the rain's stopped tho !
Are you serious? They haven't shown any aerial shots or anything, but it looks like a few hundred at best. What the hell? I thought this was going to be a much bigger deal.
Anyone have a screen shot of the crowd size?
No, not just your iPad. That was hideous.
Wow... And believe it or not, that gave me chill-bumps :o
It will rain again, don’t be discouraged when that happens - according to the predictive radar roll it will stop again almost exactly around the times Palin is scheduled to speak.
Before and after.
Wow, this guy just threw down the TP gauntlet to Harkin.
Won't matter .. we'll have to withstand a lot more than a little rain til we get this maggot's crap set out on the curb.
@IowaPolitics
IowaPolitics More photos from Tea Party event in Indianola. Still raining. Sarah #Palin up in about 1 hr, 15 min. http://tinyurl.com/3j34dct
Lol... I was expecting to say to Harkin, “KMA”.. but I knew better ;)
Don’t know first time for me as well. She was really good.
I was shocked also. I thought the crowd would fill that field behind the current “group”. I’m really disappointed.
