Orange County "Support our President" rally - 8/23
President Bush was here in Orange County today to help raise money for Bill Simon's campaign. Freepers were in attendance to show support for our President.
WillaJohns, SoAmerRepublican, and oc-flyfish (along with wife and daughter) were in attendance today. In addition, a number of California Republican Party members were there with us.
The unwashed minions of darkness (democrats, tree huggers, communists, hippies, and druggies) were there as demanded by their task masters. It was quite funny as a number of their signs didn't even make sense.
Here are pictures from the event:

All in all we had a great time and enjoyed countering the efforts of the opposition. Go Simon!
HERE's the LA Freep Report and HERE's Doug from Upland's LA Freep Report. They're both excellent.
A side note on the freep. One of our freepers invited a neighbor. She never showed up but I just got the report on what happened to her. She actually was there, but while looking for a parking spot got in the wrong lane, the one that went into the hotel. She was asked as she drove in why she was there. She said she was going to dinner. To make a long story short, she saw President Bush in person and got his picture!
This is a great idea. Caligirl for Bush, here's your assignment, if you choose to accept it: In your day to day driving, scope out a good place for us to do a "We Support Our Military," "Thank you Troops" type of freep. We'd want maximum exposure to our service people, of course it would need to be during non work hours, so a Saturday or holiday would be good.
Dio, is there a San Diego Chapter?

Bush campaigns for Simon
I just about jumped out of my pajamas when I read the page-one, above-the-fold article, "Bush cool to Simon" ["Aug. 24]. President Bush comes to Orange County to campaign for Simon, quite an exciting and unusual occurrence, and your headline reads, "Bush cool to Simon"? Then the content of the article was filled with snide innuendoes and twisted commentary. In case you don't remember, the front page of a newspaper is for news.
When the president of the United States comes to my county for the very first time, to campaign for a man running for governor, my first thought isn't that he doesn't like him. Do you think we are that stupid? I guess that's a dumb question. Forget I asked.

Too way cool, huh?
There's a couple of good ones in there today (besides mine, of course, she said modestly).
As my 6 year grand daughter would say "You told them Good!!!"
