Thousands line up for Bush tickets in Colorado Springs....
Bush is coming to town. They were giving out 10,000 tickets to loud and radical conservatives and none are better than those here in the Springs. People were lined up around the corners and down the block to get tickets to see George w Bush. All of them had to show picture IDs to get their tickets, it was reported on the local news. They will not say exactly when he is coming to town for security reasons. But my guess would be maybe just before the last debate. He would like to be seen on live TV with such large adoring crowds. But when you see it, you will notice that he is with like-minded radicals that believe just like him...

Bushturd. There was some older gentleman who was pegged as a Bush supporter who showed up to greet Bush. One of the lonely few who met his plane. He shook Bush's hand and told him he was a former
Marine who was going to vote for him but he was feeling a little bit "scared" Weird moment. They are trying to turn out crowds for the Chimpo. Potemkin villages.

2. I lived in Colorado Springs in 1963 when John F. Kennedy came to town
I was in Junior High and virtually half the town lined the main drag Nevada Avenue to watch and cheer JFK's motorcade. My parents had an old Victorian style house on Nevada Avenue. I was a little kid carrying a huge American flag and was only a few feet away from Kennedy when he drove by. Kennedy's motorcade stopped in front of my house and he stood up in his uncovered convertible, waved to the cheering crowd, and said a few words. I guess Colorado Springs has become a lot more conservative since those days.

3. Bush Is Such A Flop as President!
He promised to be a uniter and rule by consensus. He flopped after flipping.
