5. Bad link, but it was easy to find...
Thanks! I'm so sad after reading that because we see two Americas in this story. The one I want back, and the hell hole we're falling into. John Kerry is a very good and honorable man and he behaves the way I want my President to behave. Then we have Bush, who is a f*cking despot with a skin so thin, his SS has to veer away even the slightest hint of dissent, pissing on our Constitution in the process. F*CK him.

8. decent vs. indecent
doesn't this just say it all?

How do we get this guy on a cable news show? I think I will write to the website author.

I agree with everything you have said (and I fixed the link-thanks).

6. Yup...
...clear contrast.

BushCo : sees "the opposition" as "the enemy", presumes guilt
Kerry : sees "the opposition" as "an opportunity", reaches out

7. And what a contrast in his treatment!
Your link didn't work for me (I think b/c of the ellipsis points after the URL), but I got to the guy's story anyway. Here's the gist:

"...As I approached the security area, one low-level security person asked me to turn my shirt inside out. As I said, I was only there to hear the President, and so I complied. When I got to the main security area, however, the same man came up to me again, told me he had checked with his superiors, and that I would not be allowed into the event with the Kerry/Edwards T-shirt. I had been a little afraid of this eventuality and had brought another T-shirt -- a non-political one -- just in case. So I agreed to change shirts. The man took my other T-shirt and put it where I could find it after the speech.

Thinking that was the end of that, we went inside and tried to find a place in the crowd where I could see the President. I had no intention of heckling the President or causing trouble of any sort. I just stood with the rest of the crowd waiting for the speech. After about 10 minutes, the first security person came up to me again, this time with a second, burlier gentleman. I was asked to stand with the second man in an area somewhat away from the main crowd, and again I complied. A couple of minutes later a third man who told me he was with the President's advance team (or something like that) came up and escorted me out of the event. Still not wanting to cause trouble, I went out as I was asked, and waited for my friend who was allowed to stay.

Incidentally, while outside, I did get to do what I came for. I got to see the President briefly waving from his motorcade on the way into the event.

Now being the curious sort, I obtained a Bush shirt to see what would happen at the Kerry rally in Wheeling. Still not wanting to be perceived as a Bush supporter, I waited and put the Bush shirt on about 10 minutes before we reached the security checkpoint. This time no one said anything to me, and I was allowed to enter with no questions asked. After entering, I put on my Kerry T-shirt, and listened to the speakers as I had planned."

9. 2 campaigns, 2 Americas
Mr. "I'm a uniter, not a divider" has once again said one thing while doing another.
