Pre March Tribute to Registered.....:*)Me and an un-named Puget Sound Member.

[cmsgop]

And here is a Toast to Publius......THE "GUSTO" OF THE PUGET SOUND FREEPERS!

I TOAST YOU MY FRIEND!!!

[noexcuses]

We missed you guys at the Cantwell/Clinton freep :-)

Re #19:

Would you believe those SOB's at Channel 5 took a close, limited shot of the crowd and had the gall to tell their viewers that we were demonstrating for Gore?

[abner]

Bump! & bookmarked.

[cmsgop]

That was news to me. We had so many abusive "RATS" "Commies" afer us that day,Spiting ,Lunging into our line,tossing pennies at us. It was kinda Scary.

But it made our beliefs stronger and our voices LOUDER!!!!!!!

[cmsgop]

I m Sorry about missing that too.

[Seeking the truth]

You're right, Joe. That's what I found out also.

Having said that, this keeps me going.

...It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen to set brush fires in people's minds...Sam Adams

The downtown Seattle liberals are the rudest people in the world for sure.

[Publius]

I saw the coverage on Channel 5. There was no mention of spitting, lunging or pennies thrown by the crowd. Just a shot of the crowd taken at such an angle that the signs didn't fit into the picture. And then Dennis Bounds from KING-TV pontifically orating that we were demonstrating for Gore.

[cmsgop]

So True.......If we hadn't had a GREAT POLICE FORCE around us at all times, we could have made National News that day if you catch my drift. There were little kids with parents there,Nuns, friggin every walk of Life was represented in that march.

[Fred Mertz]

Thanks for your experienced advice. Very helpful.

[noexcuses]

Interesting that at least some Seattle police force appear to be conservative - at least the fine officers around us waiting for slick to show up were outspoken about their distate for x42.

[Jim Robinson]

Thanks, bookmarked and bumped!

A quick ping whilst I attend to an emergency at work. More later - haven't given up on a FReepmeet...another St. Paddy's theme may well be in order here if we're going to have advertisement time. Anyone on this thread interested? I just bottled a nice amber (yum!) and will be putting up a brown ale this very evening. Ought to be ready by March...

[Publius]

You're making my mouth water!

[cmsgop]

Yes,SPD is Great as well as Tukwila and a few King County.LOL! I would say most are conservitive but not all. I get to debate the Law Enforcement "Leftists" from time to time and I always WIN!!!!!!!!!

[cmsgop]

I Miss The Pig!!!!!!!!

Diane Fineswine came apart without the aid of any utensils. Best damn pork I've ever had.

[Publius]
