Whoever Coined the Term “A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words” Was Spot On

Some “traditional” sayings seem to hold more truth then others, however — at least in this instance — none ring as true to the scenario as the age old statement; “A picture is worth a thousand words.” This was the scene inside the arena at the Jackson County Fairgrounds in southern Oregon, for a Hillary Clinton rally earlier today.

As you can see it was a rather grim setting today at Hillary’s supposed rally. Which is somewhat surprising seeing as though it was sunny and relatively warm day in rural, or as Clinton likes to say, “hard working white” (as in 93% white) corner of Oregon.

Eli Stranger, a writer for the popular blog “Slog: The Stranger”, a Seattle publication, was on hand and had an opportunity to chat with some of those whom did bear the, well, umm — perfect conditions, too see Hillary speak. Here are some of the highlights, with pictures to boot of course:

“Earlier I spent some time talking to Hillary supporters as they arrived, waited in line, and headed inside the arena. Here’s Philip Frisby, 84, a retired cement delivery person from Grants Pass, Oregon.”

I think it’s just great that she’s staying in,” Frisby told me. He isn’t a big fan of Obama. He’s heard Obama won’t sing the national anthem, that he considers it a war song. How good an American could he be if that’s his way of thinking?” Frisby asked. His patriotism goes one way that’s his way.”

How did Frisby hear about Obama’s dislike of the national anthem? You guess it: By email. Now meet Margaret Roper, 74, a homemaker from Grants Pass.

I don’t think she should drop out,” Roper told me. I think she should stay in until the last.”

She’s also not a big Obama fan. I don’t think he’s got the qualifications she does,” Roper said. I think she’s a better person.”

One reason: I think you should be proud to be an American. I think he should defend our country in every way, shape, and form, and I would not have listened to the things his preacher said.”

Can Hillary even win the nomination at this point?

It’s possible,” Roper said. She’s a fighter.”

Deanna Rogers, 43, arrived with McKyla Crowder, 14. Rogers could not explain how Hillary Clinton still has a viable path to the nomination. She can give it a try,” said Rogers, who works as a real estate agent in Medford. She can’t give up now. It’s not over until it’s over.”

I hope she will win,” said Balaman Poorkhomani, 52, of Ashland. Because I like her husband. We had a great country when he was president.”

And if she doesn’t win? Is the country ready to vote for a black man for president?

Of course.”

Roger Caldwell has been to 11 states on the proceeds of his button and t-shirt sales, and he’s made a study of Hillary Clinton and her devoted followers, who he calls Hillarians.”

He thinks Clinton is staying in the race for two reasons: To gain leverage for bargaining for the VP slot and (in a rather generous take that I haven’t heard before) to keep the spotlight on the Democrats rather than allowing it to shift to McCain.

He hadn’t heard of Clinton’s recent bragging about her prowess at drawing hard-working, white Americans,” but, he said: It’s true. That’s just a fact.”

Clearly there still remains some level of skepticism towards Obama, which at this point is somewhat hard to believe. I mean how can people still question whether or not he refused to sing the National Anthem? Hasn’t the mainstream media covered every laughable Obama smear that one would at least know what they could or couldn’t attack the man on?

Apparently my question has an answer, and that is “no”, there are some people out there who still can’t get their Obama smears straight. You know what that means? Well, it’s simple, our good buddy Joe Scarborough needs to spend the next 14 days doing the same thing he has done for the past 86 days, and that is reference “Obama’s inability to connect with white, working class voters — or as Joe put’s it, Reagan Democrats.” In order for this too really hit home we are going to need some Tucker Carlson fluffing along the way. Hannity and O’Reilly have the night shift covered in terms of smearing Obama, and anything they may slip up and miss, trusty old Pat Buchanan will surely be there to pick it up, and hammer it home.
