Despite negative criticism and attacks on them by certain Republicans here in Maryland (and nationwide), Maryland Tyranny Response Team patriots (TRT), Asian Pacific Americans (APA) and Muslim Americans, nonetheless showed up at the Ehrlich/Steele rally that featured former NYC Mayor, Rudy Giuliani. Members of these three major groups of UNDECIDED voters for tomorrow's mid-term elections MIGHT still give Maryland's Republican candidates the benefit of the doubt tomorrow. This is despite the political compromising and selling out of the civil/constitutional rights and civil liberties of gunowners, APAs and Muslim Americans since the immigrant-bashing and campaign finance scandals of the mid-'90s, plus the attacks by "fellow Americans" on our civil/constitutional rights since September 11, 2001.
The irony here is that many candidates from BOTH major political parties have chosen to sacrifice our American FREEDOMs in the name of "Homeland Security" and scapegoat those very same American gunowner groups (ie. the TRT) and immigrants (innocent APAs, Hispanics, Muslims, etc.) whose "swing votes" may very well decide control of Congress, as well as the final outcome of several key state races nationwide!
The question for the future is, in light of all of the above, which political party's candidates will have proven to be the most deserving of the support of these undecided voters...
MWLWN LABE!

The following pictures I took at the Ehrlich/Steele/Giuliani Rally at the
Montgomery County Agricultural Fairgrounds in Gaithersburg, Maryland, Sunday, November 3,
2002. This event was also covered by all the local, as well as national, news
media.

Patriot's t-shirt reads: (fmr. 'Rat U.S. Rep.) "Michael ""Brady"" Barnes is a
left-wing LIAR and a gun-ban EXTREMIST!"

"FREEEEEDOMMMMM" - TRT patriots infiltrate the GOP crowd

Asian Pacific American community leaders arrive at the rally

If detaining Muslim terrorists, both illegals and citizens, is an "attack" on the Muslim community, then the arrest of every Jehova's witness who ever beat their child to death with a wire extension cord is an attack on all Jehova's witnesses...and the arrest of every Roman Catholic priest who ever molested a child is an attack on the RCC.
The only politicians trying to take away our guns in the name of Homeland security are a bunch of left wing Dems who want to take them anyway...and one John McCain, a RINO in Daschle's back pocket.
The aforementioned groups of voters will hopefully come around and realize that Ehrlich, while no great conservative icon, is far and away the better choice in this election. Maryland Dems pander to minority groups but don't actually DO anything for these groups. Heck, KKT has demonstrated the past few months that she could care less about you if you're not African-American. Asian Pacific or Asian American...? KKT throws you in the same group as Whitey. Muslims...? KKT doesn't even know you exist.
And the past 8 years demonstrate that the promises made to the all-important African-American Democratic base do not lead to action when the election is over and the business of governing begins. If the Dems actually kept their promises they would run out of issues for the next election!
