There appears to have been a major shift in the last month in the U.S. presidential campaign from KERRY-IN-THE-LEAD to BUSH-IN-THE-LEAD.
And this, before the GOP Convention has really gotten underway.
It seems that Kerry supporters and Bush haters are becoming increasingly strident, stressed, psycopathic and perhaps even violent in some cases. Have you personally noticed this in your town and community?
.....Because of TeRAYyza's very public meltdown, the SwiftBoatVets, Unfit for Command's booming national sales, devastating Swiftee TV ads in battlegrounds states, and the Kerry slip in the polls?
Consider:
--A young Bush campaign supporter was sucker-punched yesterday at a Washington State political event by a Kerry supporter--right on national TV.
--Freepers report Kerry-ite "flip- offs" in traffic(middle finger salutes), increasingly desperate and irate liberal emotions, foul language, verbal abuse when they peacefully display pro-Swift Boat vet or anti-Kerry stickers on their cars.
--The national TV reporters and commentators who side with Kerry seem almost apoplectic on TV these days, babbling, whining, salivating and doing everything short of cursing or throwing ashtrays.
On this FR thread, kindly please related your own personal experience on cases of strange behavior by libs and Kerry supporters that you come across. It would help to know the "what", "when", "where" and "why", too. Perhaps there is a national sickness developing in over in the Hate Bush camp, as they see their lead evaporate and their chances of capturing the White House fade. They seem to have only have nasty, threatening and sometimes violent means to turn to now. Would you agree?
The media has incited the TV-glued, apathetic MTV/Rather crowd into this frothing. It's now brother against brother, friend against friend, and neighbor against neighbor. It won't get any better when GWB beats their phony ABB candidate, either. They will try for an impeachment.
Do you think we will get government-issued uniforms? I hope our side gets navy blue...navy is more slimming.
What's wrong with offending your ultra-liberal neighbor?
Why do you have to get along with this person? Is the goodwill of such an idiot really worth the cost of stifling your political expression?
The only hat I wear when I wear one is all black and has a 4 inch by 5 inch POW/MIA patch on the front.
I have been asked if I support Kerry I said if not for guys like Kerry I would not have to wear a POW/MIA hat.
That gets me a lot of &*@^#&# and *@^%$*#.... :o)
Also I now sport a:
"I voted for Kerry before I voted against him sticker"
and
"Communism is not dead ask a party member at the DNC"
On another smaller and private website, I got to know a fellow who grew up and went to school with O'Reilly. This man tried to warn every one that O'Reilly was not a conservative, in fact he was the Irish Catholic NYC democrat. The same type that voted in the Kennedy's and Kerry in Boston. The same type that made the Hildebea$t a senator from NY/
O'Reilly is not a conservative. He will vote for Kerry and probably will vote for the HildeBea$t in 2008.
Nah, USED to be in the PRNJ. I escaped and now live in Texas, Free America. Believe it or not, there are a lot of folks that hate GWB down here - mostly from Austin, a.k.a. Berzerkly South.
I'm actually more worried about thieves breaking in for a gun that they think is in the car than the lowlife scum that key cars for a political opinion that they can't stomach.
Yes.
My husband and I always say
"We are a lonely island in a sea of stupidity."
Yeah, every day there are a few less FDR for life types.
I have a Bush 2004 sticker right next to my Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry sticker next to that my NRA sticker. All this on my fancy scmancy Toyota Corolla $800
commuter special. No one has bothered at all here in the sunny capitol of the People Republic of Kalifornistan
I do the same thing..keep my W '04 sticker in the rear window on the INSIDE so I can remove it when I park. I had my car keyed in the 2000 election and it cost a fortune to have the car repainted, so I am more careful now. I live in the area of the People's Republic of Portland, OR.
"don't underestimate yourself"
LOL
A lot of these young voters voted Gray Davis out of office in California and helped to elect Arnold over Cruza Busta Our Wallets. 9/11 was a critical happening to them, and a lot of them have relatives and friends in the military like that young marine the DUer mentioned. These brave young warriors detest the rats and honor GW. That is spinning off positively for our side to their friends and relatives.
I had a woman (I think it was female) in a jeep, tailgate me then pass me & cut me off. She/it had a Kerry sticker right beside her/its sticker that announced that GOD IS A LIBERAL. She slammed on her brakes in front of me for no reason. I guess it was so I could read her bumperstickers. My Tahoe almost humped her Jeep. (can I say that?)
Then I had a falling out with my best friends husband (liberal NYT reader) who *thinks* he is well informed. He preached to me about how bad Bush is. Other than that is am blessed to be surrounded by conservative Republicans who love me.
Guess you don't spend to much time in the deep wilderness :))
Bear repellant is just what the name says: it is a spray that can stop a bear in it's tracks at a good distance, say 20 feet. A nice thing to have along when I go backpacking in for a week or two or if a bear happens to show up around the property. It obviously works on pretty much all animals.
Think of it as mace on steroids.
Just do a search on the web. You will find all kinds.
Similar in intensity to the daily insanity Muslim radicals participate is'nt it?
I saw that post too!!! Very encouraging. Phoenix area, I believe. Man, when young Democrats start drifting over to Bush, Kerry is TOAST!
This last spring, someone peeled the Bush-Cheney sticker off of my car at a local doctor's office (the chicken-sh*t did this while I was inside, of course), balling it up and leaving it beside my car. The idiot did not bother to rip it in half, so I unpeeled the sticker and re-placed it onto my back window. It is not prestine looking, but it is definetly legible, so the message rings clear: BUSH-CHENEY '04!!!
Super powerful pepper spray discharged in massive qualtities, enough (hopefully) to stop a grizzly.
And I thought I knew what the man is all about!! Wow, what a letdown. I really wasn't expecting a Bush man, but I never dreamed he was an elitist lib!!
A friend of mine was coming out of a show with a small group yesterday in New York City, when anti-Bush protester's targeted them. Lucky for them, there was alot of cops around. The cops had to surround my friends small group and escort them to a safer place.
What a bunch of hypocrites!!!!
