I Just Slammed the Checker At The Grocery
Advertisements [?]


This morning as I was passing through the checkout at my local SW store the checker noticed my Kerry/Edwards Button and said....

"Why are you supporting Kerry for President"

I replied back because this country need a big dose of HOPE and HELP and not lies and deception that it has been riddled with for the past 3.5 years.

He asked me for a lie and deception that Shrub has spoke.....

Of course I said IRAQ.........I mentioned Bushes flip/flop....first Iraq had no WMDS...no ALQueda link with SH and then it did and then last Sunday's CPowells said no link once again. I asked him why 1005 men and women in the uniform have died also asked him if he knew Shrubs exit stategy to both he responded.....I REALLY DONT KNOW!! I asked him if he really feels safer after today with all the new security policys in place since 9/11....NO was his reply.

He then turned and said that Clinton was far more responsible for 9/11 than Bush.....I told him that the REP lead House and Senate refused to give Clinton the needed authority lead by Trent Lott and Denney Hassart to go after OBL....I said read Clinton My Life book page #935 where it said GWB was disinterested in OBL and more interested in how Clinton did his job(guess he needed some tips)I also mentioned the Aug 6 memo.I then said stated that it seems when the going gets tough for Shrub Shrub goes GOLFING and to Crawford.

He GULP a big one at this point.......then I asked him.....Under Clinton did your Corporate execs ask you to give up future pay raises....essentially freeze your pay.....and shoulder the greater cost of your medical insurance if not all of it?????????.....He said no........I asked him if SW has asked him for any of the above....he said yes, the medical beifits cost him(20%) a bit more and then he said his new contract did not offer him raises the same levels(basicly lower)rate as the old one that was negotiated in 2000.

I asked him under what parties rule does it seem that labor does well......he said it looks like the DEMs..........I then asked him if he was supporting Shrub....he said he was but he may have finally been given the push he needed to seriously consider Kerry.

I remeinded him that Bush is running on the same failed platform he ran on in 2000 and gave him the WWW address for Kerrys HQ and asked him to compare Kerry against Bush.....he said nobody had ever brought out points like I was able......I asked him where he got his info.....He said Foxnews/MsNBC ect and his church......I told him the church issue was another discussion but for him to stop listening to the RWing biased media or at least start using his THINKER between his eyeballs....

I told him Id get him a Kerry button and BSticker and give it to him on my next visit....he said he'd look foward to getting it.....

Do I detect a onsight conversion.
