Bush sneaks into fundraiser through the back door (avoiding protesters?)
Edited on Thu Aug-17-06 11:30 AM by gauguin57
Bush's motorcade went off the publicized route, to go into a Lynn Swann (PA gov. candidate) fundraiser ($10,000 per couple for a photo with the Chimp!) through a back door.

President's motorcade evades protesters
Entourage takes side route to Host Resort

(Lancaster, PA) Intelligencer Journal

LANCASTER COUNTY, PA - As President Bush's motorcade came into view on Lincoln Highway East Wednesday afternoon, protesters prepped their makeshift anti-war/anti-Bush signs and prepared to faceoff -- if only for a second -- with their nemesis.
But Bush's entourage entered the Lancaster Host Resort through a back entrance, turning down a side street and avoiding his detractors. The protesters yelled "Coward!" and "Loser!" and booed until the last car in the president's procession vanished from sight.

... Charles Lane, 72, a treasurer for Lancaster County Coalition for Peace and Justice, compared President Bush to Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza, who was so loathed he had to sneak in all public places through back entrances. "I make the observation that Mr. Bush goes in the back way the same way the banana republic dictators have done for a long time," he said, shaking his head in disgust.

... Bill Adams, of Millersville, held a picture of his son, Brent, in uniform. Above the picture he'd written, "George Bush, your deceit cost my son his life. Have you no conscience?" The Hempfield graduate died in December 2005 when a rocket struck his truck in Ramadi, Iraq. He left behind a 4-year-old son.

Adams said Brent, who was 40 when he died, didn't agree with the war, but wanted to honor the commitment he'd made to serve.

1. He Did Same in Denver
they even sent some police to direct traffic for the limos that never came.

It was still pretty fun arguing with people in cars who would yell "shame on you".

4. A pig on a Hog
and, before he came to Lancaster to trumpet Swann, he played around at the Harley-Davidson plant in York, PA (on the local news last night, the employees were just in LOVE with him -- I was yelling at the TV, "he does NOTHING for you, working families!!!")

Here's the Pig in Chief, sitting on a Hog.

5. Let the people know . . .
The contrast is damning: Idiot son sneaking around to schmooze with fatcats while the rest of the country grows ever insistent that his policies, his attitude, and his execution of his duties are pure crap. Do we want any more of this? Do we want to return to office the 'Lican stooges for this failed autocrat.

Keep hammering. Bush disgust is spreading.

6. a back door prez with back door policies.
It all matches up.

He's ashamed and should be.

Not sure how, but sure hope his after(prez) life is filled with disfunction and chaos.

12. You can run, but you can't hide
Nixon and Agnew had to do this by 1970.

He just didn't want to buy a ticket.
