"If Clinton had done his duty at some point in his eight years, we wouldn't be in such danger now." !!!! Ain't that the truth. Thanks for your report and to you and all the FReepers for standing in our steads.

Hubby in Dallas in the other car, no neighbors around, and I can't get the lug nuts to loosen. Everybody else has been weighing in on this one, so I guess I will too. Go to Chief Auto or Wal Mart today and buy a small bottle of penetrating oil. Then stick it in your trunk. Stuff works great (and not only for stuck lug nuts). Another piece of advice - throw that cheap little aluminum lug wrench that came with the car into the nearest trash can and buy a proper steel breaker bar, then stick it in the trunk too.
(Been there done that - I almost froze to death in the parking lot at work a few years ago when I couldn't get one recalcitrant lug nut off of a flat tire. It was sleeting. It was colder than a welldigger's ... heart. Everybody else had already gone home. My cell phone's battery was dead and I didn't have the car adapter. A rotten day all around.).

I'm so sorry about last night. It never showed the post going through on this end. So we turned out the lights and went to bed. Here is my hubbie's post:
Had a good turn out of students from UT and A&M, Freepers, NRA members, etc. Gracy has all the names 50-75 folks.
Good media coverage, KLBJ AM recorded our comments, Local Fox news and KEYE covered us, UT actually allows one (1) student to host a conservative evening talk show! My note: Blastus was on Fox 7 and they replayed his comments over and over again in KLBJ 590 this morning. Now he is getting a big head! LOL
The Clinton faithful were led into the Erwin Center. We heckled them with chants of "free pardons for terrorists", "Wellstone memorial is now on Tour here in Austin", as well as the cops cheer.
A fair number of limousines cruised in front of the Erwin Center - full of Liberals of course!
Scalpers were applying capitalistic principle to make $20/ head off the Clinton supporters too lazy to get in line for the free tickets.
The anti war guys behind us, (who were ignored by everyone), packed up their propaganda and loaded it into a petroleum swilling, non-hybrid, General Motors sedan. I asked them why they were wearing 'no war for oil' t shirts, yet burning up valuable petroleum. They claimed the USA were fighting this war solely to control the oil markets so we could lower the prices for our co-conspirators. I had never thought of that angle, the USA was trying to lower oil prices for our friends in China and Japan. I guess we are benevolent imperialists!

Blastus also told me something I think all Freepers should be aware of. One reporter (I think it was the radio station) approached him BECAUSE his signs did not emphasize the SEX angle with x42. They were focused on his failure in the policy areas. Keep that in mind. They saw him as "being different" from the usual sex stuff.

"That's just Austin," they say with a smile, when I ask, "How in the h*ll can you stand to live there with all those liberals?!?"
Sometimes it gets real hard to stay here in the midst of all of these idiotic Liberals! It's kinda of good in one way, though. The Liberals have insulated themselves here, and they don't realize that the rest of the State doesn't agree with them. It was funny as hell to see their faces after the last two elections!

Great job Texas Freepers.

Weird. I put up the post last night when Bubba got home. But it kept putting the "Post" page back up like I had left something out. So I started over and tried again. Same thing. Went to bed. Checked this morning to see if someone else had started the thread and saw my post right there!

Just dawned on me I never changed the tag line from my earlier post. That's okay, you ALL are sweeties also. I figure it is close enough to Valentine's Day it won't hurt.

I thought it was a pretty good turnout. We had 10-20 freepers(including one recovering from a heart attack last week). There were lots of YCT students, the TC Rep Chairman, and several others from various other groups(Williamson Cty?). My guess is 50+ patriots.
We made all the newscasts and were mentioned in several articles. I think KVRX(91.7FM) might have something on tonight at 7:00PM.
We had several discussions with X42 supporters and lots of fun.
We even ended it up with the Cops Cheer.

You almost had a chance to freep Al Sharpton. I believe he's in your city tonight or tomorrow.

Don't know if anyone let you know about this Jim. We had a blast protesting the "I can't wait to listen to Clinton" crowd. You would have been right at home. You would have been proud of the young college Republicans/Conservatives/and Libertarians. We had several people who happened to know that Clinton was in town, decided to make a sign and show up. Several vets were there.
Interesting but we had pony tailed men, muslim students, several ex Democrats, 6-7 Aggies who drove from A & M, protesting Clinton. One young man came from a college in the Dallas/Ft Worth area. I only wish we could have met everyone in our team.
Also, I must have written 20 checks for the best creative signs. (Donation from a neighbor) Not one of our protesters wanted to take money for making creative signs. I almost had to force the money on them... and the Democrats put out a press release that we were paying people to come protest.... but... we don't play their game. We give money for performance and skill and output. LOL
