'SHOWDOWN IN SEARCHLIGHT': Thousands gather for 'Tea Party Express' event in Harry Reid's hometown
Conservative 'Woodstock minus the LSD' might add 10,000 to Searchlight's 1,000 folk
By LAURA MYERS

... "We're Republican by registration, but I'd even vote for a communist right now if they would start to change the way we're running the country," Halfpenny said, adding he thinks Democrats in power are leading the nation toward socialism ...

"We need to go back to the government of the people, by the people and for the people -- I think that's how it goes," Gerod said, adding that he voted for the Republican ticket of Sen. John McCain and Palin in 2008, but didn't think McCain was conservative enough. "I got a problem with Palin right now because she's backing McCain" in his re-election bid. "But I'd still probably vote for her again" ...

"I got nothing to say positive about that woman," Douglas Hoffner of Las Vegas said. "I think she's a ding-a-ling. She's unqualified. She's popular, but that's just charisma and that does not make somebody a leader. Nobody is qualified for public office now" ...

1. Well, it is government of the people...
there was an election, the Democrats won. Just because "his people" didn't win, doesn't mean it isn't govenment of the people. Maybe he means white people.

But... in opposing HCR, he isn't supporting "the people" he's supporting the insurance companies and business. Not that HCR isn't also.

5. Minus the LSD?
They seem to be hallucinating pretty well without it.

6. Remember that old song about me and my ding-a-ling?
McCain can use it on the campaign trail.
