Perfect except Bush is all about amnesty & I think he will take action to keep the wall from being built.

This administration has turned me away from the Republican party. 6 years of R's in control & we have seen spending go out of control, government growth & enabled open borders. No thanks, I am now voting 3rd party unless it is someone like McClintock or Tancredo.

If Hillary is nominated, I will vote against her.
I don't think she will get the nod...too many people hate her.

The Rats will be out in force.

I'd be astounded if I'm wrong about this.

Protesters force Bush to move Stanford meeting

Protesters force Bush to move Stanford meeting President Bush's visit to Stanford University's Hoover Institution was quickly moved to another location after more than 1,000 protesters converged around the Hoover tower.

The White House said the protesters blocked the only road into the central areaof the campus where Hoover is located, which forced a meeting with several Hoover fellows to be moved to the campus home of former Secretary of State George Shultz, a Hoover fellow who organized the gathering.

The motorcade instead traveled to the house, which is on the outer edge of campus. The change in plans delayed the president's arrival by about 15 minutes. Protesters said they were disappointed that the President would not see them and accused the President of sneaking around to avoid them.

I'd like to see these people arrested and seriously charged one of these days. I'd also like to see some of them -- no, many of them -- badly hurt while resisting arrest. Unless that happens, these incidents will only get worse, and the president of the U.S. will look more and more like a lame duck, which we can't afford as a nation.

I wouldn't be surprised if every one of these California events gets screwed up. Makes me mad. These people don't believe in the democratic process. Their fundamental orientation toward any opposition is violent, as is their fundamental orientation toward our entire society. They are our enemy.

See THIS picture, also from Yahoo! PHOTOS, it looks like the police officers mean business HERE:

Yes, but apparently they didn't do enough, soon enough. The president's venues shouldn't be changed by these little vermin, and it was.

Every American (even FReepers - I just never thought I'd see the day they would join DUmmies to do so) have the right to peaceably assemble and protest the POTUS.

They have no right to disrupt an event, and they did.

Anyone heard of a pro Bush group that thwarted a "direct action" plot by anarchists to impede the President's motorcade in West Sacramento yesterday? (like San Jose the day before) All the media folks were with protesters a block from the President's visit. The only organized support group was on the other side of Industrial Blvd. and on the motorcade's route.

I checked a site that announced they would welcome the president in West Sacramento but there's nothing on their website Operation Homefront

Typical incompetence.

I loved what the Minuteman spokesperson told the LA Times about not demonstrating at Bush's Irvine visit tomorrow. He claimed Bush wasn't "worth the trouble." What a joke.

Not into any political spin. Just sniffing for news others won't report. A police source said this Operation Homefront group was there with a good size group. She would not comment on the anarchists other than to say, agencies responded appropriately to a tip.
