Good job!

50 of ya'll vs thousands!

About the same ratio as we had in Everett yesterday...

The closer we get to the election, the more we need to stand up against those that hate America.

Have to admit it's eerie going into the belly of the beast, being that out numbered, but hey! It's worth it!

After some time of this, a cop came and asked him to tone it down and not use the word homo.

Why?

[boop]

Protest Warrior rocks! The left is terrified of anyone who DARES to disagree with them. They've had a monopoly on protesting for the last 40 years, and have gotten used to being media darlings. They just don't know how to react when the right stands up to them.

"47 states and the soviet of Washington."

Not much has changed...

When he came around the corner and saw us, he was clearly seen in his SUV (yes, he was in an SUV) immediately turning and ducking his head so as not to see us. Coward.

Ducking???? LOL.

One woman with a Bush Lied shirt stood across the street and gestured to herself saying "This is who lied". That was just too much of a slow, fat softball pitch right over the plate that Libertina felt compelled to swing it out of the park with her retort: "Yeah, that's right, you are a liar!"

Now that is classic! Way to go!

[Republican Wildcat]

By the way...why is Kerry campaigning in Washington? That's like Bush campaigning in Kentucky.

[concerned about politics]

Several of the vehicles in the entourage had signs in them saying Press Pool.

Cess pool? They actually had a sign that said that??

Oh wait. That's "press pool". Never mind.

You truly were in the belly of the beast. I just got back from a vacation in Seattle, Tacoma and Oympia. I looked, and I did not see ONE Bush/Cheney bumper sticker or button the entire time I was there...just Kerry/Edwards. Two times I saw people registering voters, and both times they had Kerry/Edwards buttons on. It's the same here in LA. I have yet to see a Bush/Cheney bumper sticker anywhere around here. Not ONE!

[cmsgop]

Very good point Wildcat, He is spending alot of AD Money up here, I questioned this last week. The best poll I found had him leading by 6 in WA.

[Socratic]

"...we definitely have a similar message and agenda."

And Belly Girl was one of the first substantial links.

[SW6906]

Seriously, I don't in the least think he was a plant. I honestly believe his passion just got away from him. If he was a plant, he was REAL good as he helped our side quite effectively for a couple hours.

"I saw people registering voters, and both times they had Kerry/Edwards buttons on. It's the same here in LA. I have yet to see a Bush/Cheney bumper sticker anywhere around here. Not ONE!"

For perspective, compare the number of people who aren't wearing buttons and the number of cars that don't have any bumper stickers on them at all to the number with political stickers.

What you'll find is that only the hard-core sport the stickers and buttons. Your survey reflects the number of die-hards. It's the die-hards who wear the buttons and put the stickers on their cars...a very small percentage of the voting population.

The phrase "silent majority" comes to mind, in fact.

I think the cop asked him not to use the word homo and the other things he was saying in a derogatory tone as there were a lot of small children heading into the event. Several of us were saying the same things to him as the cop did, but when the cop did it, whoo boy, that really shifted him into high gear. That was when we decided to distance ourselves from him.

[RightthinkinAmerican]

No, the media's not biased. How stupid do these f%#@* think we are?

[Boss_Jim_Gettys]

"And Belly Girl was one of the first substantial links."

Belly Girl? What "Belly Girl?" he asks, wondering if someone might post the picture.

[concerned about politics]

Washington (latest Gallup poll) ----- It's Bush 43% and Metro Man 48%
Bush is gaining ground there. It's very close to a toss up state.

[SW6906]

Actually, Washington is in play. According to RealClearPolitics.com, it is a battleground state. Kerry leads here by less than ten points when he should be leading in the high teens.

They don't want their cars smashed up by rabid liberals.

Just in the last week, I have been noticing more and more and more Bush/Cheney signs in the greater Seattle area. You're not going to see them in downtown Seattle, but get out to the 'burbs and you start to see them everywhere.
