JAX Rally
10/23/04 | twobits

Posted on 10/23/2004 3:04:43 PM PDT by Two-Bits

It was awesome said my daughter. There was 50,000. It was the warmest crowd of people. Air Force 1 did a fly by which excited everyone which was so amazing. Daughter states words does not give it justice as to how great it was. Todd's Beamers parents spoke to the crowd prior to the President's arrival. My son and grandson make it on the big screen during the President's speech. Aaron Tippin played. My granddaughter age 4 was screaming four more years. One of the best posters was Democrats for Bush. The President speech was very positive and upbeat. The gates opened at 10:30 and even though they waited for six hours for the President, nobody complained. My Navy Son said this is truly Bush Country.

Hey Marcy, how's that jarhead hubby of yours doing in Iraq? I yelled EXTRA LOUD for him when the President said, "We want to thank all our brave men and women in uniform serving our country and defending FREEDOM!"

OMGosh...we were right there. When he was leaving, you could see the tears in his eyes. He wasn't crying, but you know how he is...very tender hearted. His eyes were full and he was emotional. I was that close! It was incredible. I love this man and his wife. God bless him.

Your fog is probably a sun screen smear. ROFL We had those too.

This is the BEST Picture of AF1...Way to Go!!

Just watched the 11 pm news in Jax. I will support channel 4. Channel 5 (and 11, same as 5) was dismal! Here we have one of the biggest events in JAX, the largest rally for Bush ever and these jerks can't show the stadium crowds!

Hey ****holes! We are supposed to be hosting a Superbowl in this city and you can't show off our stadium?! Obviously your news people are not Superbowl material! This was our chance for free national advertising and to pump up our citizens for the Superbowl. Well,I guess you're just waiting for a Kerry "hand out" instead of encouraging our economy. Yeesh.

It seemed channel 12 wasn't really interested in the BIG NEWS, they showed more of Kerry and the idiot protesters, than they did the crowd. They are owned by Gannett (same as US Today), LIBERAL KERRY LOVERS!

Thank you for yelling for him. He is doing good. He got to arrest and Iraqi the other day for "scouting" for the terrorists.
I have something that is bothering me though. On Monday he was on a patrol when they started getting mortar rounds shot at them. They were on a special patrol taking the c/o and other highers out with them(they specifically asked for my husbands squad.) The c/o didn't let them fire back at the men though. He said that they were too far away for htem to shoot but my husband said that they could hear the men slide the round into the barrel. What is up with that? That worries me so much that he wasn't able to do anything to protect himself except run like hell.

The President is a better draw than the Jaguars

Thanks so much!! The girls loved their W's!! They all cheered and waved their signs during the rally. I hope they will all be able to remember it though the little one probably won't.

Surely we'll all meet sometime.
