Bush-Haters of the World, Unite!
"You have nothing to lose but your brains!"by Erin Montgomery, The Weekly Standard. EFL. OVER 2,000 [$129-329 per night, meals not included] The conference--sponsored by the activist group Campaign for Americaâs Future--began Wednesday, June 2, and concludes this afternoon. Attendee Chris Maroul, of Houston, Texas, planned his summer vacation around the conference, and was one of the first in line at the registration table Wednesday morning. "I needed to use up my vacation time from work and went online to see what was going on in D.C.," he said. There, he stumbled upon the conference information. "It was meant to be," said Maroul, who wore an eye-catching T-shirt, which read, on the front: "The Few, The Loud, The Peaceloving Texas Liberal." And on the back: "In Houston, they refer to me None of the people who attended or spoke at the conference could top the comments of [billionaire moonbat George] Soros, but many came close. . . . In a conference session entitled "The Populism Moment," national radio commentator Jim Hightower [star of "Radio Free Moonbat"] teamed up with nationally syndicated columnist Who-Dat? Congressman Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) to tell us what we common people really need: John Kerry to be our next president. Naturally, it was an hour of unadulterated Bush-bashing. . . . After Hightower, the mediator made jokes about Dick Cheney having an "undisclosed heart attack" somewhere. Then it was time for Huffington to take the stage. In the middle of her glib remarks, a telling anecdote appeared. Last year, Huffington ate Christmas dinner with some Greek-American friends, during which she had an interesting conversation with their 11-year-old son, Constantine. Constantine, a Bush supporter, told Huffington that he could convince her to vote for Bush in the upcoming election, and that he could do so by asking her two simple questions: (1) Do you want to keep more or less of your money? and (2) Do you want to get serious about the war on terror? Needless to say, Constantine didnât change Huffingtonâs mind. "Zat iss because I haf no mind to change, dahling!" She thought the clever lad was "asking the wrong questions." Itâs really sad when an 11-year old kid proves to be smarter than a whole room full of wealthy moonbats. No, itâs not sad, itâs funny. Hilarious, actually. Posted by: Mike 2004-06-04 |
