George W. Bush is a Coward - excellent piece in Mpls Star/Trib
http://www.startribune.com/stories/1519/4999202.html

<snip>
What makes George W. Bush a coward is his fear of the average American.

<snip>
The proof is in the fact that he refuses to meet the American people.
Every day he makes campaign appearances in front of carefully screened cheerleaders while the First Amendment rights of those who would protest his actions and policies -- rights granted under the very Constitution he swore an oath to protect and uphold -- are infringed upon as they are forced into designated protest areas. "Out of sight, out of mind" seems to be the operating philosophy of his campaign -- unless, of course, you support his actions and policies. In that case, you are free to hold up your signs anywhere you wish.

<snip>
Sports reporters know enough to report on coverage of the game and not the pep rally. So let's start covering the president when he decides to start campaigning in front of all Americans and stop holding pep rallies.
Until then, George W. Bush is a coward.

full of the coWard's debate stipulations was made public.

He's afraid of us, & rightly so.
