6. Amazing b/c it took much time and effort for the man to make the sign!
Edited on Sat Aug-21-04 05:22 PM by flpoljunkie
It is obviously a homemade sign, put together with a lot of care. Why, indeed!

4. It is an AP Photo on an official yahoo photo site.
I think the people of Brazil would like an environmental President to help them save their disappearing forests!

24. Just like the end
of the Special Edition. There were some changes in that I didn't like (Han Solo not shooting first?!), but I think there was new music in the SE.

God, I'm expecting to see fireworks in cities all over the world if Bush loses. It's going to be one crazy celebration.

17. WARNING Kerry Campaign. Bush will order a "Kerry" sign in Iraq and make
it look like the Iraqi Freedom Fighters and/or Al Qaeda made it and displayed it and they support Kerry.

MARK MY WORDS!

18. Probably
The RW has already shown they'll do anything, no matter how dirty, immoral, or illegal, to maintain power.

21. You forgot 'murder'. If a Christian believes all people are created
equally than killing Iraqi, who never threatened America, would be the same as killing an American. So if Bush/Cheney have/are killing Iraqis it would be no different or more difficult for them to kill Americans if it would support their objectives.

Coz they DO support Kerry over bush and it's bush who says the Iraqis love him for his invasion & on-going occupation and killing of lotsa Iraqis.

25. Can you imagine the pressure on Kerry?
There are probably well over a BILLION people all over the world that want him to win.

There are millions here that want him to win. I remember at some rally (I think in WI) there was a sign that said, "Kerry we need you" and it was absolutely right.
