Various crowds were swarming the LA Times building downtown when I arrived-- the Green Party crowd was surprisingly large, and ticked off because Peter Camejo, their candidate, had attempted to enter the building to join the debate, but had been turned away by the LA Times people. It had been reported yesterday that Joe Davis threatened to boycott the one and only debate he has agreed to if the Green Party candidate participated. Crybaby.
Anyway, people were shouting and thrusting signs in front of t.v. reporters. RonDog was there in the eGray hooker get up and Outraged was in his Superman suit with a great sign of Bill Simon opening his shirt to reveal the big "S".
At the last Freep I was at, a few union men showed up an hour into our little protest to stand around with printed Davis signs. This time, men and women from a few different unions made quite a showing with the printed signs, bullhorns, and the NIGHTMARISH chant: "FOUR MORE YEARS!" One union lady nut was screeching "Davis creates jobs!" Yeah, if your union pays him enough.
The chicken guy was there and got a lot of attention from the media. (I was interviewed by La Opinion so for those of you who read the Spanish language paper, keep your eyes out for that.)
After the protest most people dispersed to go watch the debate. We went to a hotel down the block and watched it on t.v. with some Green Party people.
Want my honest opinion of how Bill Simon did? Actually, he surprised me. HE KICKED JOE DAVIS' @SS! The one hour debate, moderated by Hal Fishman, showcased what a snake Joe Davis is, gave Simon the opportunity to ask straight out: "Hey Joe, ever raise money for your campaign in the governor's office, which is totally illegal?" to which Joe WOULD NOT answer yes or no, but skirted and snaked all over the place and looked like CRAP doing it.
THAT'S RIGHT: Simon also looked WAY BETTER.
He really blew me away. I've met him briefly before and heard him speak and thought he was nice and sincere, but the gloves came off in this debate and he verbally punched Joe Davis in his heavily made up face several times.
The union thugs were there in full orchestrated force. I had it out with a few of the very threatening fata$$es. They were some big angry looking punks. I exchanged words with quite a few of them, given I am not too shy about my opinions. I called them "Davis' whores" and called them "Union thugs", right to their faces mind you. One scumbag Davis union thug said I "looked like a queer" in the Superman ("S" is for Simon) outfit, remarking that Republicans are queers. I promptly retorted that queers overwhelming support democRATS. They did not like that much.
Credit where credit is due, KCAL blasted Davis!...:)
The fact that the bastards have circumvented nearly all of these protections does give me pause to reflect on just where we are going with this nation. I don't like what I see and I do not think we can restore any sense of the truly free Republic that the Founder's envisioned wthout some really serious work. Too many vermin on the take from the public treasury.
What's even more disturbing is that the politics that Mencken described nearly a hundred years ago suggests that we have long ago lost the Republic and we're too blinded by the process to realize it. How's that for a dose of cynicism?
It looks like an EXCERPT to ME!
Believe it or not, this is actually the result of my taking a picture of the paper with a Nikon CoolPix 990 digicam.
Right back at ya......
Thank you!!
Go Angels!
