For a few hours till associates arrived, a lone supporter of the president marched back and forth in an adjoining park while holding an American flag. The 50-ish Abilene woman, who declined to identify herself, said all the protests began to come together before Mexican President Fox canceled his visit to the Bush ranch.

"We know President Bush isn't even at his ranch today," the conservative Free Republic member said. "But we showed up because the other protesters showed up. We wanted them to know there's another viewpoint besides theirs. And the only reason they showed up is because Vincente Fox was supposed to show up and the national media would be here.

"And when Fox canceled and the national media went away . . . well, the protesters decided to just come anyway."

OK who is it???

I'll confess.

It's not me.

TxRangerette, you are getting a lot of local press. Scroll towards the last 1/3 or so of the article to read your quotes.

[txrangerette]

Thanks everyone(blush)! The "peacenik"
crowd was sooooooo despicable.

Gold stars for you for a job well done, txrangerette!

And thanks, McLynnan, for posting this!

It takes true Texas grit to march around for a "few hours" all by yourself with those scuzzy people across the street from you. Were there policemen nearby just in case you needed them?

And, in any event, it takes determination to march around in the hot sun w/o any company. Thank you, txrangerette.

Well, what the heck, I'm so impressed by txrangerette, I thought I'd say it twice. LOL!

[txrangerette]

Great credit goes to those who showed
just as I told the media they would:
Gracey, DrewsDad, Jobshopper, waco-k
& her hubby, PetroniDE, Blastus.....
and TheSarce(she was sick & too late
to FReep but met us in Crawford after
we finished).

[txrangerette]

A correction: it was over an hour but
NOT "several hours". Nor did I say the
others maybe got lost getting to the
town. I knew better. Just said they're
delayed arriving in town & might get
lost looking for the counterprotester
designated place. I know I did at the
start.
