Michigan Rally for President Bush - Live Thread

[BigWaveBetty]

Live tonight on C-Span at 8:30 eastern, rally for President Bush in Michigan.

I predict there'll be a live thread tonight on Free Republic.

Also, look for Freeper Hillary's Lovely Legs on stage with the president. She's sitting on the top row of the bleachers, stage left, wearing a fuchsia coat.

Here's more from the same:

"We are going to be presenting a letter that deals with Kerry's unfitness to be commander and chief that has been signed by hundreds of swift boat sailors, including most of those who served with Kerry," O'Neill explained.

"The ranks of the people signing [the letter] range from admiral down to seaman, and they run across the entire spectrum of politics, specialties, and political feelings about the Vietnam War," he added.

Among those scheduled to attend the event at the National Press Club and declare Kerry unfit for the role of commander-in-chief are retired Naval Rear Admiral Roy Hoffman, who was the commander of the Navy Coastal Surveillance Force, which included the swift boats on which Kerry served.

Also scheduled to be present at the event is Kerry's former commanding officer, Lt. Commander Grant Hibbard. Hibbard recently questioned whether Kerry deserved the first of his three Purple Hearts that he received in Vietnam. Hibbard doubted both the severity of the wound and whether it resulted from enemy fire.

"I've had thorns from a rose that were worse" than Kerry's wound for which he received a Purple Heart, Hibbard told the Boston Globe in April.

Organizers are confident that Tuesday's event and the letter with hundreds of signatures will educate people about Kerry.

"It is one of the largest outpourings of concern about him being commander-in-chief that anybody could have in a presidential campaign and it is by the people who know him best," O'Neill said.

Sgt. Kerry's Lonely Heart's Club Band...I'd like to reintroduce myself to the American people....BWHA HA HA!

Maybe some of the best news will be that some RATS, while not voting for Bush, will simply elect not to vote at all.

Well, you're right. I remember reading about it here on FR. I think there were so many "bests", how can we judge?

I have my own personal goose bump moments from that campaign. I once attended a rally at an airport, where we were all standing on the tarmac, and then Governor Buah's plane was landing while the music was blaring....."HAAAANG ON, Help is on the way, I'll be there, AS FAST AS I CAN......" In a crowd of about 5000, in the middle of Missouri, I have to tell you, that was an experience that I will NEVER forget.

I probably shouldn't have listened to that speech, since I'll get to hear it again on Friday.

Be grateful you're not a dem, having to listen to Kerry blather on over and over. Yikes, what a nightmare!

I'm jealous. I live in a solid red state.

I loved the end of the rally when he was backing out the door, he waved to the crowd. And it looked like they all waved back! Cute.

LOL! Love that caption. The guy on the right looks like he's saying, "Are ya gonna do it? Go ahead, Marvin, tell him he's not an HONORABLE veteran!"

They ARE this nation's bravest and don't get much recognition.

And John Kerry called one of them an SOB...

Bob wasn't too awfully crazy before that surgery right before he entered the primary. I think someone was standing on the oxygen hose while they were operating.

Sgt. Kerry's Lonely Heart's Club Band...

OMG that's funny in so many ways.

[Howlin]

Is he hoping for the VP slot?

[Howlin]

Let's see if Doug from upland can "do" us a song.

I was NOT aware of this!
This should have been FOX NEWS lead story!
But FOX is to busy defending Hanoi Kerry's "war record".
Along with the other 4 TV and Cable newrooms.

[BigWaveBetty]

Not me dummy, that drugged out freak in the tie dye over there wanted your autograph.
