1. Question:

Has any other president ever done this? I know that they sometimes have invitation only events, but what Bush does seems a bit over the top.

2. At his core Bush is a coward

And at his core Kerry is a hero.

Too bad America doesn't recognize that.

3. Is this how you campaign when you know you're going to win by cheating...

...but you have to act like you don't really know that? Are they staging rallies to fool the masses?

The illusion of freedom in America will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way, and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theatre.--Frank Zappa, 1977

5. It's how you campaign when you have a stiff for a candidate.

4. I saw the report on CBS...all bush's rallys are staged events and

they have the nerve to criticize the Dem's convention. I wish CBS had shown the Portland rally What a difference. I just don't know how the media can keep saying there is no "personal support" for Kerry. That it is all hate bush support. Seeing the pictures of Kerry's rally's tells an entirely different story.

7. CBS did show Kerry's Portland rally.

They lead the Bush piece with that.
