More people than you know...I just had a great conversation.
Advertisements [?]
A vendor (A General Contractor) made an odd comment, after a meeting that I attended, that caught my attention. "I hope to god he goes in November" the man mentioned to a co-worker. I jumped on it and let him know how I felt about el Busho and low and behold he was as enraged as I was!

Here are some of the things that HE brought up:

1. LIHOP
2. Rightwing control of the Media
3. Insane deficits
4. Horrible Economic Policies
5. Horrible Environmental Policies
6. Stolen election
7. 2004 could be a disaster if Bush steals it again.
8. Fascism on the doorstep

Needless to say I was shocked...This is SW Florida, not exactly a bastion of Liberalism, and builders are almost ALL rabid conservatives lately.

I asked him which internet sites that he went to, I figured Bartcop at the least, and the answer was "None". Apparently his dad was a pre-CIA guy and he's just intuned with Lying Liars and their Lies. Also he's been hitting the book stores in search of alternative news.

Oh, and by the way, he was a Liberal Republican up to 2000.

I would never have guessed that he was on OUR side...Just goes to show that there are plenty of us out there!

You just have to pay attention.
