"Re-defeat Bush," "Not Welcome" and "Yee Haw is not foreign policy."
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,129301,00.html

Bush lost Wisconsin in 2000 by just 5,708 votes, and is working to rally support among undecided voters outside the main Democratic strongholds of Madison and Milwaukee. "I think Wisconsin is 'W' country," Bush said in the state as a supporter tipped his cowboy hat to the president and others waved large red, white, and blue W's.

Still, at each stop, protesters demonstrated against the war and called for Bush's ouster. They carried signs that said "Re-defeat Bush," "Not Welcome" and "Yee Haw is not foreign policy."

This was Bush's third bus trip through the state. Last month, his bus rumbled through eastern Wisconsin, and in May its route hugged the southwestern border along the Mississippi River. "You know why I'm coming back?" Bush asked the crowd assembled under cloudy skies at the shipping carton business. "We were close last time and with your help this time we will carry Wisconsin."

Kenneth R. Mayer, professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said the area in and around Chippewa Falls generally leans Democratic, yet there are swing voters to target. "They're hunting where they think the ducks are," Mayer said. "They're firing up the base and also going out into areas where they think they have a chance of flipping some people."

3. This bush* is the same strain as his namesake, you need to rip it
out by the roots after 4 years and plant it elsewhere!

4. The recent Kennebunkport photos were what finally did me in
I was not pro-Bush prior to that weekend by any means, but my absolute "straw-breaks-camel's-back" moment came when I saw the whole miserable clan on that EFFING boat.
