12 Bush Supporters Showed Up For Crawford Rally
CRAWFORD, Texas -- A repeat of last summer's dueling rallies against the war and in support of President Bush drew much smaller crowds to Crawford on a cool, rainy Saturday.

About a dozen Bush supporters stood downtown with signs, one reading: "Real America won't wimp out." Throughout the morning, shoppers and a few tourists leaving souvenir stores stopped in the tent to voice their support for the president.

Closer to the Bush ranch, where the president celebrated Thanksgiving with his family, about 200 people rallied around Cindy Sheehan in a continuation of California woman's summer protest against the war that claimed her son.
...
Some 20 demonstrators also stood in a ditch beside the other checkpoint about a mile away, avoiding violating recently passed roadside camping bans that led to 12 arrests a few days ago.

"We have both of his exits covered," said Sheehan, whose son Casey died in Iraq last year and who called on her supporters to resume the protest this week to coincide with Bush's ranch visit.

3. How old was the wimp with the sign? Shouldn't he have been somewhere
else? Like Iraq?

If you support it, take part in it is the way I figure it.

I wish someone would ask the bush** twins their opinion. Who knows, they may be against the 'war'. And if they support it, then they need to enlist.

5. 12 people who are pro-war and pro bush.
Ask any of them what the hell are we fighting for in Iraq and you won't get anything but empty slogans in response. "Real America won't Wimp Out." What is that supposed to mean, anyway? Admitting you made a disastrous mistake isn't being a wimp.

Ah, sh*t. I'm going to shut up. I'm getting all wound up again over the stupidity of pro-war bushies.
