I was outside the Santa Clara Convention Center where this fundraiser was, mixing it up with the brain-dead goo-goo protestors outside. Everything from union goons to the pro-Palestine/pro-terrorists to the pro-abortion extremists to the anti-war "peaceniks" were out there making noise and fools of themselves.
And with Gray Davis' huge campaign warchest, they have the nerve to trot out the old line of the GOP being the party of the rich. Arrrrrrgh...where's my cut?
Right, but if they repeat it enough times, the sheeple will believe it non-the-less.
I saw Ari Fleischer on Leno last night, and Ari said that his parents were very strong Democrats, but that he became a Republican [in heart during college] officially after graduation; he attributed it to some of the courses he took (but people are usually influential in this sort of thing, too). Anyway, when he said, "But when I started paying taxes, I really became a Republican," I could tell that the meaning of his words shot past and seemed a non sequitur to 2/3 to 3/4 of the audience -- you know, the ones who are fed liberal slop all day that says Uncle Sam owes you a free ride and that the checks for it are funded mysteriously by Congress, not hardworking American taxpayers supporting Congress' pork barrels. There was significant applause but it was not nearly the majority of the audience, from what I could tell.
Whenever a conservative can explain to a liberal and get that Light Bulb of Understanding to turn on, it is a good day for America. Go get 'em, CCC and mtngrl.
