From an email:
Bush is coming to Medford, Oregon Thursday. John Edwards is here Wednesday morning.
Edwards' visit is already sold out. There are tickets available for Bush, even though his visit was planned in advance. This is in republican-leaning rural southern Oregon.

I tried to get tickets to both events. Edwards was sold out, but I could still get them for Bush, provided I:

1. was a registered republican

2. wrote an essay about why he should be president.

3. promise to support him

The "write an essay" part was a new one for me.

1. LOL, his supporters can't write! n/t

[Shoeempress]

5. That's why there are tickets left.

[Sannum]

[Sannum]

2. lol

Can the majority his supporters read and write?

3. Remember, Penmenship Counts

That is pretty goofy.

11. "Shrubya should be prez cause he da man!" Now where's my tix?!

:shrug:

[HysteryDiagnosis]

12. Give em a copy of the constitution. n/t

14. good -- does this mean that W would be barred from his own rally?

Hey, a campaign stop by Bush would be almost tolerable, if he weren't allowed to attend. Could we pick the Dubya impersonator to sub in? I'd choose Will Ferrell!

[Starlight]

18. Do you think his supporters would even notice?

They're obviously a very gullible bunch. I suspect they'd cheer wildly & never even realize it was a joke.

[BMJ]

16. What's the world coming to?

"Oh sure! I'll give you tickets to the upcoming Bush rally... just swear upon the life of your mother that you'll vote for Bush and sign this contract with your blood and we're all set!"

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

17. Then there is the small matter of your first born.

[HuskerDem]

19. They are REALLY short on material aren't they?

I guess the people who have to put up with the asshole every day are running out of motivation and apparently, ideas.

[Doohickie]

20. They get new ideas in every essay!

21. I'm Al Swearengen and I approved this fucking message...

I bow to no one in my unabashed admiration of our esteemed President Bush.

I thought his father was the wimpiest cocksucking whiny-ass bastard ever to hold the office, but he seems to have instilled some kind of fucking backbone into his weak-chinned son. And even though his mother is asshole ugly, I sure as shit wouldn't deign to cross her if I wanted to keep my fucking manhood intact.

And you have to admire the fact that he didn't stop that cocksucker Cheney from appointing himself to the job as co-president. It takes a man with brass balls to recognize the fact that he is simply outmatched in the dick-waving department.

I am proud to cast my ballot for the re-election of the Cocksucker-In-Chief...George W. Fucking Bush!



Now where are my fucking tickets?!?

[nonconformist]

22. Now THAT'S a president to ALL of the people!

:puke:

[Heath.Hunnicutt]

23. How is Bush going to get around the essay requirement?

They've really screwed up now that he won't be able to get into his own events!

[troublemaker]

24. It's a trick. If it's not ALL CAPS they know you're a plant.
