Great Job!!!!
Kudos to all of you for doing such a great job freeping the Kerry-Edwards campaign headquarters. The signs and the Slim-Fast display were fantastic.
I'm sorry that I couldn't join you yesterday. FReep On!
BTTT! Fantastic!
Nice work! I lost a few hundred calories laughing at your commentary.Thanks!
One of the earlier encounters with a young Kerry worker turned into a heated political disagreement. He approached DoctorRaoul, TaxRelief and TaxDeduction2 and jumped to the conclusion that the Freepers are all Pubbies. The following is an approximation of the dialogue...
Kerry worker "So, you're Republicans aren't you?"
"We're from Freerepublic. We..."
(Kerry worker interrupts) "But you want Bush to be President, right?"
Taxdeduction2-"We don't want Kerry. He..."
(Kerry worker interrupts) "What's wrong with Kerry? He'd be much better than Bush, who doesn't know anything and tells the American people anything he wants to."
Taxrelief- "Did you know that the Communist Party USA just endorsed Kerry last week?"
Kerry worker - "Communists?! Communists! Don't you know that the cold war ended? You people are lunatics... (turning to TaxDeduction2) "Have your parents filled you with fear? Do they tell you the world's a terrible place?"
Taxdeduction2 - "The only thing that I can think of that would be scary is Kerry as president."
Kerry worker - (turning back to Taxrelief) "The Cold War is over! Kerry is not a Communist"
Taxdeduction2-"He lies..."
Taxrelief- "He flip-flops. He's unpredictable."
(Kerry worker interrupts)"Kerry doesn't lie. Bush lies."
Taxrelief- "Really? What lies has Bush told?"
Kerry worker - "He lied about the wmd's,
Taxrelief interrupts - "That was Clinton's CIA"
Kerry worker continues "Clinton? Clinton never lied"
Taxrelief - "He did, but that's not what I said. The CIA staff, put in place by Clintoon, lied. Not President Bush."
Kerry worker goes beserk- "did you read the 911 commission report?!? (yes) "So you know that there is no link between Iraq and al Qaeda"
Huber (walking over) - "Have you read the report? If you did you would know that that was not what the report said..." When it became clear that the young Kerry worker had not actually read the report, he turned and walked off, shaking his head and joined the safety of his fellow KerryWorkers.
Taxrelief helpfully suggested that perhaps he should read something other than the Washington Post and the NY Times if he wanted to get the truth.
The Kerry worker did not acknowledge this helpful advice.
A song for your next FREEP
BIG JOHN
Every mornin' on the Hill you could see him arrive
Standing six-foot-four, weighing one-twenty-five
Kinda' scrawny at the shoulders and lacking a spine
And when he spoke at all, it was mainly to whine.
(Big John, Big John) Big Bad John.
Nobody seems to know what's in John's soul
His 'beliefs' are based on the latest poll
Though he'll say what it takes to get your votes
It's the leftist agenda that he really promotes
Big John.
Some one said he came from Boston town
Where he joined the Navy and gained renown
'Earning' three purple hearts and one bronze star
The home folks said, "This boy will go far"
(Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)
Then came a day back in '71
When he renounced all the medals that he had won
Then turned against his country and his Navy friends
And sold them out for his own selfish ends
(Big John)
He appeared before Congress and on left-wing talk shows
Giving aid and comfort to America's foes
It was clear to see whose side he was on
Some say he helped cause the fall of Saigon
Big John. (Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John).
He claims to be for the working poor
Yet he owns 5 mansions from shore to shore
He never had to work a day in his life
‘Cause he learned it helps to have a wealthy wife!
Big John
Now he wants to be our next President
and Commander-in-chief of those he resents:
The American soldiers who fight and die
To give him the freedom to tell us his lies
(Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)
Thousands have sacrificed their young lives
To help ensure that our nation survives
A vote for Kerry is a slap in the face
To all the brave soldiers that he's disgraced
(Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)
For what it's worth yesterday I saw a display of garden flags in the local Wal-Mart. Most of them have flowers and cute things on them but these had a pair of flip-flops on them. Was in a hurry and didn't think much about them until later.
Mnnnnn! Will have to stop and get one tomorrow just in case Kerry comes to KC.
Where did you get those lyrics?
They came in an email from a friend. The author is unknown.
Clapping real Flip-Flops is another good protest technique.
Print out the graphic I posted and enlarge it at Kinko.
ROFL That Flip Flop is awesome! HEHEHE
If I ever get out to DC, I am going to go to a freep. I don't care if there isn't any liberals left, I want to freep something =o)
I think we should implore the DNC to have Whoopi as a primetime speaker. If they don't, it'll look as if the Dims are letting the VRWC shut down free speech.
All FReepers who have Democrat Sens and Reps should immediately email them expressing your concerns that Whoopi is not a convention speaker.
It's time your Dim reps in Congress support the First Amendment by making sure Whoopi gets to speak.
Good job, you guys! Sounds like it was a lot of fun. *We cover conservatives* LOL!
We Freep in NC, as well... (Aug 15, Wilmington) Hint, hint!
Mel Watt's and Senator Edwards' staff have heard my concerns about free speech and Whoopi. (I don't think they believed me, though!)
