BBB...BusedBushBackers.. picture..(They had to WALK)
President Bush supporters walk back to their cars after buses taking them to the quarry site where Bush was to speak were turned back by law enforcement Wednesday, Aug. 4, 2004 in Mankato, Minn. Hundreds of supporters headed for the site were caught in heavy traffic that left them beyond the cutoff time to enter the site. (AP Photo/Jim Mone)

1. Kerry supporters waved bye-bye to them as the Bushies were turned away
A Kerry-Edwards supporter enjoys the moment as he waves goodbye to Bush supporters who were turned away by the busloads after the Secret Service and other law enforcement personnel cut off the number of people allowed into a quarry site where President Bush spoke Wednesday, Aug. 4, 2004 in Mankato, Minn. Hundreds of Bush supporters missed the cutoff time to enter the site on buses due to heavy traffic. (AP Photo/Jim Mone)

Yah Right!!! In Grand Rapids...the Democrats underestimated how many would show up for the Kerry rally on Monday. He was about to come on stage... and those lucky enough to be the back drop as He and Teresa spoke came up on stage and then were asked to get off the stage. About fifteen minutes later they came up again and then Mr. and Ms Kerry. I am positive that they delayed because so many hadn't gotten through he check points and metal detectors. They became alot less picky as they got close to the time Kerry was to speak...

I am sure they didn't want to piss any voters off... anyway...

I am PROUD to be a Kerry backer... :-)

7. First they buss 'em all in -- fully vetted, of course -- then they make
'em WALK back to their cars!

They were all prolly SO PROUD that security is REALLY TIGHT, since shrub is keeping them all sooooo safe.

No, dumbshits....he's doing what he's done all along....keeping HIMSELF safe, and everyone else can WALK!!!!

And they probably STILL don't get it.

12. HOWDY!!!
.. um.. to be honest.. i'm replying to as many of these as i can so i can start my own posts.. i have so many problems.. and i'm not very educated( that's what i'm doing now.. educating myself..lol.. through YOu GUYS.. and your perhaps Biased opinions... but.. whatever).. HEY... DOes ANYONE HERE>. support NORML?... please tell me i'm not the only one here that thinks urine tests are a violation of civil rights... ?... and.. also.. if anyone reads this.. Maybe you can also help me out with anouther situation i have.. Please go to this site.. and read their forum.. and ... TELL me ... if this guy is right about what he's preaching about BUSH... Because.. alot of kids that have never even VOTED before.. are going to listen to this guy.. and He is pretty much saying bush is a saint.. *( THOUGH.. he does admit.. both candidates suck...lol)... but.. still alot of kids are gonna read what he's saying.. and .. i don't think he's right about alot.. but.. really.. I'm only just learning about politics.. and i don't really know shit... and i just don't have time to research it all.. ( besides the fact that if i research through democrat sources.. i get one result.. and if i research through BUSH supporter sources i get anouther result.. it makes it too much of a pain in the ass.. i work too much to figure out who is telling the truth.. the site is... LEadheadlockout.com --- the site is for local musicians of their area.. and the people aren't bad people.. i just ... think they're being MISLEAD.. and maybe ( hopefully.) some of you guys know enough to Debate a little better than my ignorant ass.. or you can laugh at me for being ignorant.. and dismiss my request.. up to you....

Edited on Thu Aug-05-04 03:28 AM by tkmorris
I assume the guy you are referring to there is the one known as "Bull", right?

If so, trust me, he is totally wrong about just about everything he says. He posts a lot of things he calls "facts" and frankly 4:15 in the AM is no time to try to refute them all but here's his first paragraph that I read.

"I'm not a big fan of either candidate. I think this country has failed in many ways. I am however very educated when it comes to this. While Bush has been in office, he has created over 1.5 millions jobs in the last 7 months, interest rates are up (which means anyone with a saving account or any type of investments will benifit), in fact our economy is growing at it fastest rate in over 20 years, taxes have been reduced, the Taliban defeated, Saddam Hussein arrested and is awaiting trial, created Homeland Security, ratified the Patriot Act, expanded health care in many ways, has increased education spending by 40%, the majority of American's enjoy a slightly higher standard of living over the last 4 years despite the recession that Clintons tax hike created, is a major donator for HIV and AIDS research as well as stem cell research (which he seems to be against but goes ahead because the people call for it) etc etc etc,

Bush has lost jobs on his watch, the jobs created recently do not nearly make up for the tremendous number lost earlier on in his presidency. Nor are the jobs that have been created nearly as highly paid as those lost. Interest rates are extraordinarily low, lower than they were when he took office, though his argument about why high ones are good is pretty stupid. Sure, high interest rates are great for those collecting interest, but they are AWFUL for those who need to borrow. Like to open or expand a business (which creates jobs) or to anyone buying a home. Homeland Security was a Democratic plan which Bush resisted, it wasn't his idea. The Patriot Act is an assault on Americans civil rights, I don't know why anyone would be proud of it. Then he claims that Bush is a major donator to HIV and AIDS research, which is just bloody stupid. Bush could care less about AIDS funding, and in any case when a president appropriates funds he doesn't "donate" anything. Those are government funds.

In short, that guy is an idiot and I have no idea why I just wasted 5 minutes of my life refuting any of that. Perhaps to reassure you. I dunno.

19. "jobs created" under GW Hoover
I'm really referring to the claim of the guy tk is referring to. Like his nazi predecessor, Herbert Hoover, GW Hoover has a huge job loss under his rein. The jobs allegedly created under GW Hoover exist mostly on paper; they're guesses that this nazi administration is making & they don't have hard evidence that these jobs were in fact created.

21. Welcome to the D.U.....
kabalevski..... don't get to worked up about it....First you will have quite a few people here that feel as you about Norml... I for one am for legalization of cannabis. I am a PROUD liberal that wishes to live MY life as I see fit. As long as I don't bother or hurt others leave me alone.

Anyway... get used to having people like "Bull" around...(by the way...BULL seems like a proper title for this dipshit) In one ear, out the other...I know they make you want to puke... but...life on the planet earth is not easy. You asked for someone to help with setting this guy straight... you can't. He is too far gone for help. Just kindly disagree with him then put him on your ignore list.

Stay open minded and follow your heart when it comes to dealing with idiots like this. It seems your heart has identified this impostor of the truth pretty well. Others will too... those that believe him...are destined for a hard life.

Again Welcome.. don't be shy on sharing your views. Not everyone will agree with you here.. but most won't be rude or inconsiderate.
