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???

Good for the Crawford Freepers! Great patriots one and all. I saw their rally pictures before and they are a tremendous group!

As to the popularity polls. Of course the numbers have gone down with 24/7 bashing going on. It is happening here on this very forum using the very same words and phrases used by the RATS and the media. Hmmm!
