"Apparently, he has the Constitution and The Marx Doctrine thoroughly confused..."

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking! Makes me sick that that's what kids are being brought up to think these days, too.

Oh isn't it swell they'll be having a "gay ole time" while we the sheeple get to sweat in our cars breathing exhaust for hours on end all week! I swear, the government of Massachusetts thinks we are their plaything. And as long as no Conservatives ever try to take over some of their offices, we will forever be!

I'll be heading in to the Rattlesnake on Boyelston street in the city tonight for a Republican meetup, Bostonianrightist should also be there. On my way in I am going to stop into Half time Pizza across from the Fleetcetenter to grab a slice and say thank you:

Sign of Bush's support surfaces
July 22, 2004

Even though he voted for George W. Bush four years ago, Mark F. Pasquale was looking forward to the Democrats coming to town, especially since the pizza shop he has run for the past 23 years is right across the street from the FleetCenter. But then the barriers started going up, the security rules kept getting changed, and he finally had enough. He's closing during the convention and leaving behind a banner in support of Bush.

ADVERTISEMENT

''It seems like there was supposed to be a party, but it turned out to be a private party," said the 51-year-old Pasquale, who was deluged with media attention yesterday as the 24-foot-long, 4-foot-high banner draped across the building started getting noticed. ''They have 30,000 prepared meals . . . I put my food against anybody, but you can't compete against a free meal."

Pasquale said he will vote for Bush again and said that if the Texan ever comes to Boston, he hopes the president makes Halftime Pizza, located at the corner of Friend and Causeway streets, one of his stops.

Pasquale said he once served Democratic nominee John F. Kerry some pizza years back, but never expected the Massachusetts senator would one day be running for president.

Pasquale said that his two sisters, both Democrats, are not happy about the sign and that they are also concerned there might be repercussions. Still, he won't take the sign down.

Wouldn't it be better, to not show any attention to Michael Moore, because that is what Moore really wants.

That is brilliant! could you give me a summary, are these being distributed? A good freep would be to stuff our clothes with a bunch of papers that say Top Secret on them much like the kids that stuff their clothes in those paper towel/tissue commercials as padding. LOL

Freepmail Registered. I'm sure he'd be happy to help. These would make headline passouts in Boston!

I hear you guys may have some limits on your mobility?

If you saw Kristinn and Dr. Raoul's freep of Bob Kerry then you saw Kristinn's "Bergler" costume. I think I would make great press if you guys could get a bunch of "Berglers" lined-up outside the convention. (Of maybe just Faneuil Hall?)

Good luck to you, and good freepin'.

Let me know if anyone up there would like to have W.I.S.P. "Women in Support of the President" bumper stickers, t-shirts and buttons. We would love to see them displayed outside the convention center! We are determined to get our name flooding the marketplace to outnumber the MOB stuff out there. If you would like me to send you some, send an e-mail to: WISP@gonowmail.com and let me know how many and where to ship them. Thanks!
