Bush Poster Child

If the picture of little 3-year-old Sophia Parlock crying after some Kerry-Edwards supporters tore up her Bush-Cheney poster got to you, well, you weren't the only one. President Bush and even first pup Barney were dismayed too, we hear. It happened at a West Virginia rally last week for Democratic running mate Sen. John Edwards, to which Phil Parlock brought his daughter. After seeing the picture of the tearful Sophia on her dad's shoulders, aides said the president was sending her a little note Friday along with a signed campaign poster and an autographed photo of the prez and his dog. "Dear Sophia," Bush penned, "Thank you for supporting my campaign. I understand someone tore up your sign. So I am sending you a new sign and a signed picture. Please give my best to your family. Sincerely, George W. Bush." And on the picture, he inked: "To Sophia, Best wishes from me and Barney." Phil Parlock tells us it really wasn't necessary. "He already said 'Thank you' when he hugged her" at a previous Bush rally they attended, he says. "She bragged for days."

Welcome to FreeRepublic.com, Spiderman9! .....

The article here says that President Bush send Sophia a NEW sign
and an autographed pic of himself and Barney!

You know, Kerry missed a perfect opportunity here. Suppose he, personally, made a big show of walking over to Bush campaign headquarters, asking for a sign, and delivered it to Sophia. Woulda been magnanimous, woulda probably helped him in the polls far more than any of these half-baked policy statements.

He signed it "To Sophia, Best wishes from me and Barney." Immediately one of their best and brightest chimes in with: "Ahem, it's Barney and I" Probably a card carrying member of a teacher's union. LOL Ahem! It should be Barney and ME. If they want to be technical about it, may as well be really nit picky. :^)

Moore comes to Syracuse this Wed...protests planned, effigies being made.

What's missing here is the name, address, telephone number, vehicle description, and license plate number of the abusive, smirking cretin with his cap on backwards. I think a lot of people would like to make sure he feels the warm, caring acceptance of his fellow citizens.

But HERE is the link to the URL.

Welcome to FR spiderman9!
GOOD to have a National Guardsman join us.


Thanks for the ping, Meek.

"He already said 'Thank you' when he hugged her" at a previous Bush rally they attended, he says. "She bragged for days."

Having met and been hugged by the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, whose parents are obviously influencing her young mind well, makes the sign-ripping degradation even more potent for the little girl.

Why can't the mothers of these pinheads have had abortions?


40+ million and counting, some will slip through
the cracks.

[nicmarlo]

[MeekOneGOP]

Yes, I have thanks. See my post #241 and another one. TWO of this

Spiderman_9 is the older brother Guardsman,

Big_sis , maybe big_sis_9 is the littler older Guardsman.

[LittleChristianRepublican]

George W. Bush has more class in his little finger than many Americans do.

[Xenalyte]

That was an amazing photo.

[Spacetrucker]

Absolutely NO JOKE. The Washigton Times photo DOES NOT show the union thug who ripped the sign out of the girl's hand, and I have seen the scumbag's face on other sites - including this one.

I'm still waiting for the headline:
