Billionaires for Bush Protest RNC
Edited on Sun Aug-29-04 05:37 PM by Nambe
NEW YORK (AP)


.. The Billionaires for Bush don't really support the re-election of America's 43rd president. Their wacky street theater uses irony to argue that many of the Bush administration's policies benefit the very rich at the expense of nearly everyone else.

"One dollar, one vote!" the crowd of a hundred or so chants a few times, winding down with shouts of "Huzzah! Huzzah!"

"The fact that we've lost 1.1 million jobs under the Bush administration gets far too much attention," says director of field operations Alice Meaker, a.k.a. Iona Biggayacht. ..

Passers-by seemed completely uninterested. After all, New Yorkers see billionaires all the time.

They elected one mayor. ..

Without a link, who are we. We are linked by blood, and blood is memory without language.

6. At J20LA in 2001 they bashed Gore and left Bush alone

They kept talking about how Bush and Gore were the SAME. Then they went on to talk about how bad Gore and Clinton were.
