I'll probably check 'em out, mostly 'cause I'm so close.

I'd pay good money to stride through those crowds in a Bush/Cheney campaign shirt. Unfortunately I'm in the middle of a large personal project. I look forward to watching the Kook All-Stars next week.

Hey PAD, why don't you try and wear a Kerry shirt at a Bush rally....if they would let you in.

I tink most here would agree that you are the most crazy.

I would go, they are giving out free stuff.

Kook All-stars=Republican convention

There is no chance of getting let in.
I thought you had to sign a document swearing your allegience to Bush to be allowed to a Bush rally.

I haven't been involved in any political campaign rally or event this year. I really don't see the point going as an individual. Both Democrat and Republican events are staged and the crowds are either bussed in or part of a large organization. The emotion and support generated is canned as well.

Kook All-Stars= Black Panthers, ANSWER, SHAC, ISM, Anarchist Black Cross, The Organization, No Police State etc. You can read a little more about these "mainstream" organizations here.

Common sense should reveal to you people that the reason they don't let liberals into bush rallies is because there is a 99% chance of them being there soley to be a stupid ass and try to mess up their gathering.

I was watching c-span not too long ago and I saw like 2 or 3 conferences where conservative book publishers were speaking about their books, and guess what? At each of those there was some stupid ass liberal being loud, speaking out of turn, and generally doing everything he could to make everyone miserable. At one of the conferences they asked the moronic idiot to leave, but he kept saying that he wasn't doing anything wrong.

It's called a free country. If someone becomes disruptive at a rally you remove them. Anyone has the right to hear Bush speak, and not to let them in just because they won't sign a loyalty oath is un-American.

Oh brother people...

Do you think they let in Bush rallies at the Democratic one? No, because that would wreck the party inside, so does it matter? No, you want freedom of speech speak outside.

I think you meant Bush supporters at a dem rally. And yes they do let them in. Anyone can get into a dem rally, there is no one checking to see if you are a dem or a repub in order to get in.

With all of the savage, fanatical hatred towards him from the left I don't blame Bush for this policy because loud, obnoxious dissent can quickly turn into violence.

Crazies who just went in there to protest can just as quickly decide to burn the place down or hurt someone.

That's pure nonsense. That's why they have security at rally's. So does that mean you are saying that Bush's security cannot handle a crowd? The crowd's for Kerry are much bigger than Bush's and there hasn't been problems.

Then we'd have another seven minute video of our Commander in Chief standing there not knowing what to do in a crisis.

It's amazing how quickly people seem to forget the "Free Speech Zone" at the DNC.
Those areas penned in with fencing and razor-wire is still more offensive to me than just about anything else from either side that I've seen in this dirty campaign. At the moment, I don't want to vote for either of them.

It definitely was offensive, but Bush was doing it first.

That was at the convention which was by invitation only. Bush & Cheney are requiring loyalty oaths for people to hear their campaign speeches and Bush is pretending it's an open forum by taking questions from "the public."

Kerry's rallies are open to anyone. Make of that what you will but it sounds like someone is scared of being confronted by people who disagree.

I could care less. Just because someone else did it first makes it any less wrong?

Please use your brain. If 500 are allowed in and 150 are crazies do you think that they will be stopped without any damage being done?

The fact is that if Bush let's anyone in the crazies will follow him around the country in droves and try to shut down every one of his rallies or worse.

Again, your reasoning is pure nonsense.
