No train stop confuses Kerry supporters in Kansas
CNN ^ | Sunday, August 8, 2004

Posted on 08/08/2004 9:50:56 AM PDT by Howlin

The supporters had turned out in Lawrence after midnight on Saturday morning, expecting the Kerry-Edwards train to slow or stop so they could get a glimpse of Edwards and Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry.

The candidates are on a cross-country campaign train trip from the Midwest to the Southwest.

CNN has the video of the train blowing pasting the waving, cheering suporters.

I'm not saying ONE WORD!

A good laugh ping for Sunday!

But Democratic supporters were left bewildered and confused as the train chugged right on by them and kept going. The inadvertent snub was blamed on a late-night miscommunication.

Har, har! They thought Kerry cared about the little people. They should know that in Kerry's view, there are two Americas and they are not in the same one as he.

They blew past Lawrence, Kansas, of all places. Actually, it's such a hotbed of liberalism that it won't affect anyone there. Hilarious, nonetheless.

I don't see why it would confuse them. Kerry, Edwards, and company are on A Train To Nowhere.

Years ago, a London bus driver was accused of not stopping at all of the designated bus stops to pick up passengers. He admitted that such was indeed the case, but defended himself by noting that he couldn't stay on schedule if he made all the stops.

LOL - sort of like them (John and Tereza) going to a fast food burger joint, then ditching the burgers for a chef-prepared meal once back on the bus.

Were a few Wendy items tossed out of the train window? That would add to the picture.

I'm beginning to understand what those "Two Americas" John Edwards talk about are!

Did CNN get the video of Heinz-Munster flinging out a couple of ears of corn from the train window?

The man oozes charm...
