Colorado Springs Welcomed The Next POTUS to Town

Yes Indeed, Sarah is busy in Colorado Springs right now with John McCain spreading their message of REAL CHANGE in the RIGHT direction (pun intended). They are talking to a crowd waiving American Flags that were in trash bags by dumpsters at the Dem Convention site. Vendors noticed the flags in trash bags, rescued them and now they are being waived by people who REALLY love our country, at a McCain rally down the freeway from Denver.

I just returned from Colorado Jet Center in Colorado Springs and I have pics of the “adopted” Invesco Flags as they were being passed out. They waved high and proud as the next POTUS and VPOTUS spoke about the changes that they - the Two Mavericks - will take to Washington.

Oh, and Cindy looked divine! (Uh, like gorgeous, not like The One who thinks he’s divinity…)

I also have picks of the Dems for McCain and Hillary Supporters for McCain.

And a GREAT pic of The McCains and Gov. Palin on the tarmac of Straight Talk One…

We have an idea to get more Dem supporters: They LOVE free stuff…so have free keggers the night before the election. Either they will be too hung over to vote or too happy with McCain for the free brews….of course, I’m sure Cindy will give the campaign a discount…lol

FROM ANOTHER BLOG: "I just came back from a McCain rally…the GOP better get on the ball over the next few weeks.
On the whole, I have to rate the rally a “C-.” I am tired of hearing of the POW stories (although the new one I heard today was interesting). They gave slightly modified versions of their convention speeches. I was hoping for something new.
Bad location, bad logistics, tired stories, too long of a wait in the blazing Colorado sun."

Well, it WAS hot out on the tarmac. I got there at 8am when it was 55 degrees (doors opened at 9) and there were a lot of people (really long lines - probably atleast 1 mile long) and parking did suck (dirt lots - in my KIA Spectra is not fun). Locals (yup, I am now) know that the streets and airport weren’t build to handle that kind of traffic.

What the heck did the DIP expect? If you know the airport (it is small) and the streets, you would EXPECT it to be crowded. I walked about 3 miles (needed a Coors when I got home) but it only took about an hour to get out and home. (I live 30 minutes from the airport.) I guess I am used to events in Los Angeles where it takes 2 hours to get in and 2 to get home. Springs people think a 30 minute drive is a horrible inconvenience…and I am getting spoiled here just like DW…LOL

I suppose DIPPY Writer wouldn’t have complained if it was a Van Halen concert or the DNC with the free weed, eh?

S/he was right about the speeches being revised from the RNC. But I really enjoyed hearing the local politicos give their shpiels. I don’t know them yet like I did the LA county folks, so that was good. And when the Invesco Flag story was told and the Vets started passing them out, and we had them in our hands and same Lee Greenwoods song. Ahhh, I was glad I had a tissue! And I got to meet some really great people and hear their stories and why they support McCain/Palin.

It did get a little warm and, being blond and in the sun this high up from 8am to 1:30pm - yeah, I got a lttle sunburn.

Did not get pics of the "Pitbulls for Palin" and "Read my Lipstick" people...but when we chanted "Palin Power", women held up lipstick tubes...LMTO
