43. correct
One of ther campaign head quarters person was on the news and said that you had to show drivers license and voter reg. card to get a ticket because last time "a bunch of democrats came in and grabbed some tickets and caused some problems so we didn`t want that this time."

The word thug dervives from an Indian sect that practiced "thuggee" murdering people as sacrifices to the God Kali.

So.. murdering to worship your God, Haliburton, Carlyle...hmm.

23. HOW COME THEY NEVER SHOW THE CROWD ? hmmmmm?
Edited on Sat Mar-20-04 12:56 PM by ConcernedCanuk
.
.
.

Was watching OUR "hopefuls" campaign last night (for leader of the Conservative, PC party)

and the cameras must have covered a dozen different angles, shots of people in the crowd, different reactions etc.,

But all I see is Junior and a few people behind him that I could almost SWEAR they are watching a teleprompter to tell them when to smile, whatever.

OR

is the USA so poor now they can only afford ONE camera for this farce?

Gawd I detest that man!

41. No, there was a crowd
I read elsewhere it was about 10,000. It was a substantial crowd. But it was clearly a crowd which gets its news from Fox, and it was invitation only. I know some of these types. Half of them are quite ignorant of politics, history, psychology, and the criminal element in this (and most) government. The other half has something to lose if Bush loses.
