actually are there that many union members in Florida? I didn't think it was a union state. Perhaps they were bussed in from up this way? The unions were doing that at kerry's rallies early on. Bringing in busloads of union workers to make their crowds look bigger.

actually are there that many union members in Florida?

According to this article (link below), there are 500,000 AFL-CIO union members in Florida. Then you have to consider all the retirees in FL, a good number of which are likely former AFL-CIO members.

This hatred and law breaking is the direct result of the tone set by Kerry and his DNC. There is no respect for the president. They have fed this to the Democrats and the New York convention was the start of it. The display by Whoopy Goldberg at the moveon.org gathering was part of the putrid
effort to get out the Democrat vote. There is no mistaking what they want. They want civil unrest and disruption of the election. Kerry's trips to black churches to tell them the lie about Republican attempts to stop them from voting is another aspect of this attack. The attacks and breakins by Democrats on GOP headquarters is condoned by the DNC. They will deny it for sure but will make no attempt to stop it. They enjoy watching just as they enjoy George Soros spending all his money to beat up President George W. Bush.

I do not think the goons that broke into the Republican Headquarters, are full of hatred, what I do think...is they are paid Goons, or Hitmen from Soros or the DNC.

That may be true about the retired people there. However, my husband is a union member and we just throw the solidarity magazine away when it comes. We have never voted the way they tell us. Always the opposite. I think there are many who feel that way.

This election has me scared to death, and this latest from the democRATS just reinforced my fear. I am so nervous and stressed, I can't watch TV or listen to the radio. I only read FR. I fear for the future of this country if sKerry is elected. Thanks for letting me vent!

Somewhere in all that stuff is a quote from one of the office workers, how he "saw a bus drive up and then..."

Good point about the unions- I seem to recall Florida is a right-to-work state and they aren't real big down there.

It looks like typical Leftist "rent a mob" tactics-- follow that vote fraud link to the "last" and work back- I have info about Project Vote, PIGRIM, ACORN and other public nuisances.

Have you ever seen the country more devided?

Definitely Bush's fault.

Nah, there won't be civil war -- one side has most of the guns.

I understand what you're saying. There is so much happening that parallels pre-Nazi Germany that history is starting to repeat itself. To redefine these latest actions as simply "protesting" is beyond the pale.

I'm starting to lose patience with people I know who aren't up to speed and just blithely accept the MSM's BS. It's getting to the point where I'm going to have to take the gloves off with some of them because they simply don't THINK!!

[Polyxene]

The ignorant sheeple are the ones that scare me the most. I am just hoping and praying that we (the educated pro-Bush voters) prevail.

I've got a Fix for that, put Anarchy down, like a dog or cat!

Have you ever seen the country more devided?

Never.

And what dismays me about it is the mindless, childish viciousness of it- that, and its irrationality. I took me a year, and actual acts, facts, and evidence to start disliking Clinton- Bush is hated for... being Bush. Having religious beliefs. Meaning what he says.

It's like a bizzare, parallel world.

Dearborn, MI, was also attacked.

Citizens get into the mix of campaign clashing

Also Tuesday, a mob of up to 100 people stormed into a Republican campaign office in Dearborn, disrupting volunteer GOP workers until police quelled the disturbance.

Yvette Robinson, 28, director of the Dearborn Victory Center, said the intruders numbered 200 and arrived in three large buses plus cars. She said they swarmed into the building, surprising the campaign workers. Robinson said they chanted anti-Bush slogans and other chants, such as "Give us back our overtime."

Paolino said Republican campaign offices in several other states were similarly disrupted.

Dearborn police said they were called about 1 p.m. to the Michigan Republican Party's Dearborn Victory Center. Police issued two tickets to bus drivers for blocking traffic, said Dearborn Officer Chris Wenzara. Police estimated the crowd at between 50 and 100.

"Have you ever seen the country more divided" was Edwards grave question during the debate last night.

I found it particularly laughable in view of which side the hate and increasingly, violence, has been coming from.
