Last Thursday afternoon, HUNDREDS of happy, smiling, flag-waving patriotic Americans gathered outside a "private, secret" fundraiser at the Santa Monica airport to welcome President Bush back to Los Angeles, for his first visit to southern California since March 2004.Two very highly repected sources independently calculated that over FIFTEEN HUNDRED people overwhelmed the intersection of 31st Street and Ocean Park Boulevard in Santa Monica, just north of the hanger in which President Bush, Laura Bush and Governor Schwarzenegger appeared at a private fundraiser which had not been widely publicized until a few days before the event -- with the crowd outside roughly divided into half pro-Bush and half anti-Bush.
On a Thursday afternoon.
In Santa Monica.

We took on the "cancer from A.N.S.W.E.R." -- in the heart of the "People's Republic of Santa Monica" -- and we WON!More importantly, we showed Mr. Karl Rove that southern Californians have a hunger to actively support the reelection of President George W. Bush that will not be satisfied until the Bush-Cheney '04 folks schedule an official RALLY here - soon!
If we can get five or six hundred raving Bush supporters to show up outside a fundraiser on such short notice - on the chance that they might see the Presidential motorcade go by...
...just think what kind of crowd that we could attract if the folks knew that they could actually HEAR the President speak, and if they had a just little more ADVANCE notice of his visit!

It was a great day in the leftist stronghold of Santa Monica, CA as a contingent of true Americans, led by the FReepers, defended America's honor and came face to face with human scum.
The President and Mrs. Bush along with Arnold made a visit to Santa Monica this afternoon. Ah, yes, Santa Monica, CA. The city with rent control and regulations that would have made an Eastern Bloc Soviet stooge proud. The city with homeless peeing on the sidewalks. The city whose business policies are trying to run business out of town. In California, it is Berkeley South.
We surprised the scumbags today with a force of several hundred on their home turf...
CLICK HERE for the rest of that thread
Using democrat math that looks to be at least 50 thousand. Good work.
WOW! WOW! WOW! In Santa Monica, no less! There is hope for us all! Thanks so much for posting these.
Thanks for the great pictures. Nice to see the four fine ladies with the B-U-S-H shirts! Obviously, there are a lot of smart women in the country; we just need a larger proportion of them to be smart, and W will win in a REAL landslide!
What a great turnout! Way to go Santa Monica! (one of the prettiest cities in Southern California!)
Nice pics. Republicans are always such a happy group.

THANK YOU, everyone!!!
Outstanding Photos!
Come November, we will see that California is in play. I predict that GW will spend a bunch of time there in October and make the Dems. fight real hard for it. I think a lot of the swing states are already swinging toward W, giving him time to make the Dims defend CA.

BRAVO BUMP!
You guys were noticed -- big time!
That's a nice looking group you've got there.
The sign with Arnie holding the Kerry-in-a-bunny-suit drawing is hilarious. Is that person a Freeper?? Do you guys promote FR out there?? (Obviously thats not the point of course)
Wow that is awesome! That`s the best way to shut these idiots up, take to the streets just like they do and overwhelm them in numbers! Make them look like the losers that they are.
"Lonestar" Jesse with his cowboy hat and bullhorn...Our corner had the benefit of a five foot tall transformer box...
...which could be used as a "soap box," as it were......for the folks on OUR side to stand on...
...so that they could TOWER over the crowd...Here are a few of the "natural leaders" who assumed command of that platform:...and intimidate the "bad guys."
