John Kerry is coming to town
So it appears that John Kerry is coming to my town. Ugg. If that’s not bad enough they’re closing all of downtown down for him. Instead of just going to one of our fine parks or some other location to talk they’re setting up the stupid event in the middle of the street! That’s right! The middle of the street in downtown which is also a state highway! There is heavy traffic on that road 24/7/365.
It’s not even just a single block where he’ll be speaking. It’s about 5 blocks long and a block on either side of the main street. That’s just about the entire city when you get down to it. I don’t care who you are, you don’t shutdown a city like this. Of course this is nothing new really. This town loves to shut down this area for all sorts of events from car shows to art festivals.
Anyhoo, I’ll be getting together with some of my former College Republicans and protesting. We’ll make some silly signs tonight and meet up tomorrow afternoon. The only thing I really wish for would be rain. It’s not suppose to but it would be so great if a major storm rolled through right as the event was suppose to start.
We decided to go with a more positive view and made mostly pro-Bush signs.
But some people did make some anti-kerry signs. There was :
John F. Kerry
“F” is for “Flip-Flop”
Heinz won’t cut the Mustard as First Lady!
Plus the required:
Flush the Johns! Plus my GF made a really good picture of Kerry being flushed down a toilet to go along with that sign.
I’ll try to take pictures and post them here after the event.

Those are pretty funny signs. Might I suggest that you use Coppermine Gallery at http://coppermine.sourceforge.net
I can’t believe that you all are supporting Bush for the upcoming election. Just look at what he has done for this country in the past 4 years…oh wait…he hasn’t done anything at all. Except kill more than 1000 of our citizens over in Iraq!!
Remember when Bush was making his drive to the white house after the last election and it started pouring? That was funny too.
It’s probably better that he didn’t do the walk to the white house like all recent presidents. Then the eggs would have hit him instead of the limo. That would have been lame.
What did your signs say? I love funny political signs and slogans.
