Good job.

Who cares about being believed? It's their problem to figure it out.

"When it became clear that the young Kerry worker had not actually read the report, he turned and walked off, shaking his head and joined the safety of his fellow KerryWorkers. " I doubt even John Kerry has read the report.

Having my Morning Slim Fast Bar with my coffee, THANK GOODNESS, SLIMFAST DUMPED THE VULGAR TALKING WHOOPI.

Love the giant flip-flop and the Kerry Waffle House!

[Gopher Broke]

Good work, DC Freepers.

Nice touch on the SlimFast. When I heard they had dropped 150 pounds of ugly fat by firing Whoppi, I did something I have not done in many years.....

I went to the store and bought Slim Fast products....my wife loved the low-carb stuff, she is on that low carb diet.

Been boycotting Slimfast in the past because of their support for raunchy TV...but they picked up a net-new customer with me.

Good job, Freepers. You are great.

[talleyman]

Great job!

[bert]

You guys were right. It was mean of me.......

Guilt, the primary motivation overcomes all.

[exhaustedmomma]

We tried, Mr. Mehlman - do we still get our check?

LOL!! No, you left before 5pm.

Great job, DC!!!!!!!!!!!! *French Vanilla Slim Fast for Kerry Campaign workers... heheheh!!!*

[Grampa Dave]

As usual, a great job.

Hopefully the people at Slimfast who canned Whoopi will read and enjoy this.

Huber, Taxrelief, Taxdeduction2 and Taxdeduction3 joined the DC Chapter in a FReep of Kerry's Campaign Headquarters in DC.

Any time you travel, consider meeting up with a local FR chapter and joining them in a FReep! It was lot's of fun.

NC *Ping*

Let Constitution Day or Taxrelief know if you want on or off the NCPing list, or if you think you've been accidentally dropped, or ....

[Tax-chick]

ping ... don't try to access photo links from the old computer, ask me for help.

[Huber]

Great job, DC!!!!!!!!!!!! *French Vanilla Slim Fast for Kerry Campaign workers... heheheh!!!*

Even the Kerry workers thought that was funny. The beauty of this FReep was that everyone had such a good time, that we charmed and disarmed the lefties.

Remember, it's always easier to attract flies with SlimFast than vinegar!

[AGreatPer]

Excellent report and pictures. Looks like it was fun.

The opening group shot gives a good feeling for the Freep. Proud of you all and wish I could have been there.

I had no idea Kerry now says life begins at conception...I believe you, but do you have a source so I can show it to others?

Life begins at conception, Kerry says
By Glen Johnson, Globe Staff | July 5, 2004

INDEPENDENCE, Iowa -- Amid a three-day bus tour in which he highlighted his values and cast himself as an acceptable alternative for conservative voters, John F. Kerry was quoted yesterday as saying he believes life begins at conception, but continues to favor abortion rights.

The Roman Catholic Church, of which Kerry is a member, teaches that life begins at conception, and thus abortion should be opposed. Kerry's refusal to adhere to the latter portion of the teachings has prompted some conservative prelates to declare they would deny him Communion. Yesterday, President Bush's reelection committee cast Kerry's most recent comments as an attempt to appease critics at a time when he is trying to broaden his support among moderate and Independent voters.

''Vatican II is very clear. There is something called freedom of conscience in the Catholic Church," Kerry told the Telegraph Herald of Dubuque in a story in its Sunday editions. ''I oppose abortion, personally. I don't like abortion. I believe life does begin at conception. But I can't take my Catholic belief, my article of faith, and legislate it on a Protestant or a Jew or an atheist . . . who doesn't share it. We have separation of church and state in the United States of America."

While Kerry, the presumed Democratic presidential nominee, has previously mentioned his personal discomfort with abortion, a database search of newspaper stories failed to find any previous reference to him saying that he believed life began at conception. A campaign spokeswoman said she also was unaware of him making the comment previously.

It is that belief among conservatives both in and out of his church that leads them to oppose not only abortion, but also stem cell research -- which Kerry has said he favors and which Bush supports only in a limited fashion.

THANK YOU!
Yet another one for the flip-flop list I show to my dem friends.

[Badray]

"A little summer fun in DC. Nice FReep you gus, and good for not letting the Kerry woman get away with any insensitive fat remarks ;)"

I'm glad that I wasn't there. I would have been so hurt by her mean comments. Yeah, right.

Reminds me of when I was working a poll a few years back and some Dem poll worker came to the poll and starting ranting about missing signs and that it must have been the 'crazy gun-totin' right wingers" who did it. I walked up to him real nice and polite like and said that I was a crazy gun-totin right winger and wondered if he was accusing me.

It was funny how fast he backed down and apologized. But I still don't understand why. hehehehe
