Top Brass Republicans

Only 10,000 lucky ticket holders were able to attend the Republican Rally for Minnesota's Congresswoman Michele Bachmann on Wednesday afternoon in the Minneapolis Convention Center. Congressman John Kline, Congressman Erik Paulsen and Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty (a fellow Eagan resident) spoke before former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin joined Congresswoman Bachmann on stage. I was just 10 people back from the center podium!

Leif, I think that I'll keep my political comments to myself. You must have had front row center seats!

As «Louis» wrote on your Facebook page, the Obamunists will send you to the gulag for these subversive activities!

Hey, Leif!

Looking forward to hearing all about the rally!! I'm glad you got to go! Way to grab the good seats!! Nice picture! - just like being there.. You never disappoint your blog-followers!

Kitty said...

wow, you were very close.
what's up with her hair? was it tied back? this is definitely a different look.

I try to remain a-political in my blogging life. It can be too inflammatory otherwise.

Great photos, Leif! Tim and I like your choice of rallies!

I thought she looked familiar! :)

10,000! That's a lot of people. The opposition is stronger in your country than it is in mine.

"Obamunists" like me welcome and believe in disagreement but not in gulags, good Republican friends!
Glad for you that you got such good seats for the rally.

I hope I was not too political for you, Leif.

Two of the most stupid and dimwitted women on the planet. God help us! Or somebody help us! Can you spell imbecile, moron, freaks?

The fact that anybody listens to these nogoodnik know-nothings is beyond all comprehension.

Oh, I forgot: They are both liars of the greatest magnitude; religious hypocrites; and extremely dangerous!

...other than that, Jacob has nothing but praise for Palin and Bachmann!

Greetings from Juneau, Alaska!
I get so tired of Palin bashers. Maybe it's because I'm a conservative who believes in the truth. It nice to see she's being supported.
