CINCINNATI OHIO (Kenwood Mall) Dec 2 - Cold Weather, Hot Rally!!

Rally Report from Cincinnati, Ohio, where the weather goes from 103F in August to -24F in January. We are tough, conservative and we are probably the biggest city in America that ALWAYS votes Republican.

The Cincinnatian's toughness shown strong today. Despite the bitter cold, the biting wind, and gray skies, we had a great turnout! The cold wasn't too tough to bear with the warm hearts, and the nearly constant horn honking for Bush.

The selection of Kenwood Mall was great, whoever made that decision. We convered an entire corner and the heavy traffic gave us a non-stop new audience without having to take a step. The horn honking for Bush was tremendous. It was about 12:1 for Bush, with gorons only looking disgusted (heheheheheh) and getting freeped hard when they showed their wrong, leftist preference. It is interesting that gorons always had to rely on the middle finger salute to disagree. I don't know how they could ever talk if they lost their middle finger.

Someone had made up a huge tub-full of signs so that everyone could join in and make their statement. Quite a number of people were there from loudcitizen.com, the place where the national rallys were posted. I invited them to comeover to FR to see these pictures.

Enjoy the pictures.


That guy in the middle of the picture sure looks like Hitler.


We had a watchful eye over us while we rallied.


We had about 50-60 people there in the bitter cold.


Even the dog doesn't like the crybaby democrat party. The boy is being raised right, isn't he?


Republican women are great looking, aren't they? I made the Sore-Loserman sign this morning, and Kathy was holding it for the shoppers to enjoy.


"pocat" in the middle kept the cheerleading going with the bullhorn, and helped keep us warm.


A freeper with "Tipper Galore".


HighWheeler reporting in.

Thanks for the report and for braving the cold to get the message out. I just got back from the rally in downtown Pittsburgh and we also had a great rally.

Thanks HighWheeler for posting the pictures and report so quick. We are a tough bunch to turn out in the frigid tempatures. My fingers and toes are still cold. I had a great time today. It was nice seeing many that I saw last week and meeting new people. We should have alot of new people checking out FR, looking for a picture of themselves.

Atomic_Punk was very generous to have made so many signs so that no one was without a sign. Thanks so much.

I was going to my car during the rally to get a drink of coffee when a car pulled up beside my car. Two women asked where they could get a SoreLoserman sign. I gave them one of my SoreLoserman signs and one of Atomic _Punks' crybaby signs. They were thrilled. They said they would check out FreeRepublic for a report on the rally tonight.

Good report, High Wheeler!

Had a blast!

I never thought of myself as a LOUD person until Muggs gave me the bullhorn!
I guess Gore brings out the protester in normally quiet, conservative people.

I'm just now starting to thaw out, and my hands have gotten the feeling back...
Thanks to everyone who showed up.
It's great to see others speaking out against the fraud and corruption that we have endured for 8 long years.

I know Cincinnati is conservative, but that doesn't mean we have to understate our numbers. I'm convinced we had right around 100 people (kids count, ya know).

But what's with the huge eye on the building behind you? Creepy! Like the "eye of the state" or something....made to seem appealing, of course

You know, after thinking about it you are probably right. I forgot the number of people who spent 15 minutes in the car getting warmed up, rotating turns with others. I forgot to count the dog too, who held up his part for W, even though he would have been able to vote as a democrat in Palm Beach.

Thanks to all Freepers, Loudcitizen-Cininnati, Second Amendment Sisters and all others that participated. It was an honor, and a blast to be there in the cold with all of you. There is nothing like a liberal woman rolling down her window to have a nervous brakedown and say "...if this is what Cincinnati is about...I'm leaving...". Keep going liberal babe...all the way to China or Cuba. You and the Baldwin brothers. The liberal response to us was usually the finger. Its time for their Prozac. But the response of the rest of the people was great. Horns blown by truckers, lights flashed, thumbs up, and alot, alot, alot of smiles. Especially by the republican babes of Cincinnati!!! A Grate Day.

You can see atomic punk in his ORANGE! jumpsuit in the second photo, just under the flag. You can also see the giant big brother eye staring at him. It's not a good photo of his suit, but the only one I had. I don't think my camera could take the intense color.

I live in Lebanon, OH and I'd love to get plugged in to future Freeps and other Freeper activities in the greater Cincinnati area. Had I known, I would have easily made it to this one. I regularly scan this site for Freeps to participate in but I missed this one. Thanks!

Unfortunately I couldn't make it to this rally, but please keep keeping me informed about future events. I'll have a lot more time after the 15th when the semester ends, but by then everyone will have a new President. (I tell everyone that I already have a new POTUS and that they will soon.)

Sorry to post this here, but I need some help with a school project. It has nothing to do with politics, but I need some friendly people to fill out a survey I am doing. It only takes a few minutes. You can find it here. If you know anyone else that could help me out please let them know also. Thanks in advance for your help.

You are not alone! Thousands have taken to the streets in support of President-Elect George W. Bush. Your FReport has been added to a list with hundreds of others on the...

WE ARE NOT ALONE! THOUSANDS TAKE THE STREETS! VICTORY IS OURS! Pt.IV

Read some of these FReports for inspiration, tips, slogans, signs, etc. and then get out there and make your voices heard!

Now is not the time to celebrate in our success. There is still much to do and we must be organized and steadfast in our efforts. If anything, we need to redouble our efforts. The chief thief must be stopped. He must be soundly abraded and told, in no uncertain terms, that it is time for them to go!

At the same time, there is no reason we shouldn't celebrate the election of George W. Bush as our next President. Celebrate it in the streets! Be loud, unbowed, and stand proud!

Eagles up, FReepers! We are making, and we will make a difference!

For information on rallies that you can attend, please visit cyn & LarryLied's thread below - literally hundreds of rallies are planned over the next few days - pick one and be there!

***INDEX TO UPCOMING BUSH RALLIES/PROTESTS (THREAD FOUR)***

Most of these were Sat/Sun rallies that have probably already happened, but you'll be able to find the updated threads once cyn and LarryLied recover from the weekend! ;-)

WAY TO GO CINCINNATI!

I lived in Anderson Township for four years when I worked at SDRC over in Milford.

We had a good rally in Austin, TX (I'm down here doing some consulting work for a computer company) yesterday too!

Keep after 'em. The more of us who take to the streets like this, the more they will know that we have pushed too far. Maybe, just maybe it will give them pause.

WOW - WAY TO GO Cincy Freepers!!! Makes me PROUD of my hometown (well - sort of, Mason is my hometown - just a few miles away from Kenwood!) -

Anyway - keep it up and Freep on!!!

BTW - I have attended the rallies in Louisville for the past 2 weeks now. We need to get more people to come on out and join us - the crowds are starting to thin out and we cannot let that happen!!!
