Wow, 22 people showed their support for Bush way back on March 6th.

Whatever numbers you guys try to come up with, Bush is still leading.

So, who's going to refuse to admit defeat now?

Waiting to see how many widows/widowers from the towers have announced their support for Bush.

The numbers I would like to see are the percentage of family members of soldiers killed or maimed in Iraq that are supporting Bush.

Are these the same five women that belong to a group that gets most of its money from Mrs. Heinz-Kerry?

I remember hearing something a while ago about women showing up on one of the major news networks all saying the same thing about the attacks happening on Bush's watch and their organization had taken donations from Heinz-Kerry. Can't find anything online, will look again tomorrow.

Shows how dumb that lady is...Bush didn't kill her son. Either terrorist or a dictatorship lead army is responsible for her son's death...she needs to be yelling that sh!t over in Iraq if she wants to be heard by the person responsible for her sons death...

Okay, that would be 1.

Although I feel for her and her loss, or anyone who loses a child in war, I don't understand the rationalization of blaming George Bush, or anyone else for that matter. Except maybe the Islamic Terrorist Bastages that were directly responsible. Her son made the decision to join the military, and the possiblilty of death is there. Nobody (I presume) forced her son to join.

Again, I understand her grief and wouldn't wish that on anyone. Perhaps that's just her way of dealing.

*BZZZT* Wrong answer. Bush may not have placed the bomb that killed him, but Bush put her son in Iraq, and as a result he was there to be killed by that bomb. Had Bush not rushed off to war, that young man would likely still be alive today. Yes, the scumbag that set the bomb is directly responsible, but Bush is responsible for putting her son in harm's way.

I don't understand why she was arrested, for trespassing no less, when she was a leagal attendee exercising her first admendment rights.

I could understand disturbing the peace, but tresspassing? :confused:

Not sure on that myself. Asked to leave, sure, for making a disruption, but arrested? Of course, we're assuming we're getting the whole story from CNN (yeah, sure we are https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2006/04/1.gif)

:devil: Well, let's read this through again. She was asked to leave, she chose not to leave. Police asked her to leave, she still would not leave. At this point she is no longer an "invited guest." If you are on my property and I did not invite or want you on my property would that not be considered tresspassing, technically. But wait, she wasn't charged with tresspassing. She was charged with defiant tresspass. I'm sure thats a whole new set of rules and laws you should look up before you pass judgement on this story....:devil:

But her son volunteered to be in the service. He made a commitment from the beginning to do what needed to be done when the orders came down. I am quite sure he was proud to be there, and his mother is proud of his sacrifice. The problem we face here is her grief has taken over her rational. Bush had to do what he did, and her son was put in harms way. That’s military service…if you don’t like the sound of it you shouldn’t join…and parents should learn to grieve, and move on…

Probably the most impossible thing any parent could ever try do. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif

Fact, yes...but a part of being a parent of a person in the military...you must understand it is a part of the job. Just like cops and fire fighters...constantly in harms way, you have to accept the risks taken, even as a parent.

Did you see the news item about the Marine who died and what his father did in Miami, I think? Now that was sad.https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif
