STOP BY AND BUMP THE FUNDRAISER THREAD-
Found in the breaking news sidebar!

W.Va. Democrats are working to bring Kerry to Follansbee, W.Va., on April 23. I'll post more info on this thread as it becomes available. Follansbee is just south of Weirton, W.Va., near Pittsburgh, Pa., Steubenville, Ohio, and Wheeling, W.Va.

Funny he's spending so much time in the "blue" states.

I noticed that too. Guess he's afraid to get any more questions from the audience.

Kerry: "Who did you vote for? Are you a Republican?"

[WVNan]

What jumps out at me are the number of closed meetings he's holding with special interest groups. Talk about President Bush being secretive......What is kerry cooking up behind closed doors?

[AmericanMade1776]

I noticed the same, wish he would come South, we could really freep him.

[3AngelaD]

Okay, everybody put on your flip-flops and get ready to rumble.

The Cincinnati Enquirer/STEVEN M. HERPPICH

John Kerry had seen the tactic before - it emerged on the campaign trail last week - but few others seemed to understand what was going on.

Young Republicans wearing cheap sandals got in the front row and started clapping them together almost as soon as the Democratic presidential candidate took the stage at Sawyer Point on Tuesday.

Their message: that Kerry has flip-flopped on the issues.

"There's nothing I like better than talking to a great bipartisan crowd," Kerry joked. "You want to talk about flip-flops? This president said Condoleezza Rice wasn't going to testify, and the next day, she's going to testify."

Some union workers quickly surrounded the dozen Republicans with Kerry signs. Some elbows were thrown - as were some sandals - until two Cincinnati police officers broke it up.

The Hamilton County Republican Party disavowed any knowledge of the tactic, and Rep. Rob Portman - forced to field a question about the tactic in the official Republican response - seemed befuddled by it.

"I'm not sure hitting yourself in the head with a flip-flop makes a particularly compelling case," he said. "He's changed his position on a number of issues, and that's frustrating to me."

Particularly perplexing, Portman said, was Kerry's criticism of the No Child Left Behind Act. "I look at his record, and he voted for it."

Hmmm, I wonder why the newspaper didn't mention that Kerry petulently whined that the flipflop protesters were "rude"? I plan to take a pair of flipflops to welcome John Effin' to Follansbee, W.Va.!

Doesn't seem to get far from home. Wonder why

[MadelineZapeezda]

Any thoughts as to what would make a good sign to hold. I need some ideas.

Totally ignoring fly over country.

BIG mistake.

[TASMANIANRED]

Does Free Republic get a cut from the gear sold with the logo on "0 cents". I have a suggestion for a new product.

Flip/Flops with the Free Republic logo on the bottom. When you hold them aloft and flap them your freeper emblem gets waved.

I want 1% of the revenue for a new Idea. I'm a proud capitalist. I would promptly use the revenue to keep my donations to Free Republic paid up.

Nope. Not that I know of. But you might contact them and see if they'll put it out.

Dress up as bin Laden and hold up an "I support Kerry" sign!

Pray for W and Our Troops

Madeline, I refer you to these two ladies, angelwood and tgsltakoma, Professors of Protest Signage, University of FR.

[Ol' Sox]

It looks like he might be driving down I-95 in Connecticut on Tuesday or Wednesday. Some big signs on the overpasses might be a worthy endeavor.

[IPWGOP]

"Some big signs on the overpasses might be a worthy endeavor."

Might I suggest a huge daisy, too:
