sageandseaI don't know why I do this to myself. It's not like I don't know that Bush/Cheney are corrupt and evil.
In recent weeks, the Bush/Cheney campaign has gone so far as to have those who voice dissenting viewpoints at their events arrested and charged as criminals.
Thursday’s actions in Oregon set a new standard even for Bush/Cheney – removing and threatening with arrest citizens who in no way disrupt an event and wear clothing that expresses non-disruptive party-neutral viewpoints such as “Protect Our Civil Liberties.”
When Vice President Dick Cheney visited Eugene, Oregon on Sept. 17, a 54-Year old woman named Perry Patterson was charged with criminal trespass for blurting the word "No" when Cheney said that George W. Bush has made the world safer.
And this is written by a paper in Bend. Eastern Oregon, where B/C will probably carry. Granted, I think it may be a more alternative paper.
I had a discussion about politics with my dad the other day, in fact he talked my ear off! He's horrified that anyone would vote for B/C. He also thinks that M36 won't pass; I'll allow him that delusion. Sweet man. I'll have to call him and ask how he enjoyed the Bush visit to Jacksonville, where police in Jacksonville fired pepper balls on anti-Bush protestors on order of the Secret Service. He's horrified, I'm sure; I'd like to know if the pro-Bush climate has changed any based on this.

More Than Political...Personal

"You can be my daughter." He says and opens the door.
