7. AWD, THAT WAS YOU??????
in the Tie and Bullhorn??

Well, now I know.

I was the guy that gave you a few good one liners, including the one you initially screwed up, "Bush Lied, Soldiers Died!". An other was "Every day without WMDs is another day proving that the French were right!".

Nice to put a face to the handle.

9. Hi willie!
This thread will probably get moved to GD....but thans for posting it.

Fellow DUers, we had 350-400 people in the rain protesting the Commander In Thief, and his motorcade was forced to go right past us. They wouldn't allow us within 2 miles of the site, but the unions (and SpikeTrees, bless that man) mapped out the area and found a spot where Shrub HAD to travel past.

We occupied all 4 corners of the stret, screaming our heads off. Richfield was heard today!!!!

I'm very proud of my state today!

16. We were right behind you
The second time the motorcade passed, we were about 20 cars off the light.

Anna, it was wonderful meeting you.

Edited on Mon Sep-01-03 02:44 PM by saline
I was hoping to go but I had a lunch date with my grandfather and couldn't make it. Next time he's within 100 miles though I'm not missing it. Thanks to everyone who showed up for showing what Ohio thinks of our cheap labor president.

26. Sounds like LBN to me!
It is always great news that we all want to hear--when the great hypocrite is met by representatives of the truth wherever he goes.
After watching ole "whistle-ass" with his pathetic Labor Day verbal sewage--it is good to know some of you were therem to "fight the good fight"!! Thanks!!!
