Missouri Democrats saved the best for last Friday night, giving John Kerry a huge Kansas City send-off on his post-convention trip.

A crowd the Secret Service estimated at 20,000 — aides called it the biggest Kerry has seen along the campaign trail in his quest for the presidency — filled the parking lots and the Liberty Memorial slope in front of Union Station where Kerry and his running mate, John Edwards, rallied the party faithful.

Kerry, flanked by the two candidates' wives and some of their children, began his talk at about 10:15 p.m. — more than two hours after some had arrived — calling out: “Hello, Kansas City, how are you? What I should say — ‘Hi, may I help you?'” using the well-known salutation at a well-known barbecue establishment.

Before digging into his political themes, Kerry waxed fondly about being in “the heartland, in the city of fountains and the home of the best ribs in America — Gates Bar-B-Q.”

The event, on another surprisingly cool summer evening, ranks as one of the best attended political gatherings in the city since the Republican national convention in 1976.

heading for a gun match in rural PA when I came across a huge billboard!

It said

No American should have to kill or die except in defense of our country. Bring our troops home now!

Your Chimp in Chief is losing even these folks. 20,000 in KC means he's losing his a lot of voters. Go cry in your Freeper koolaid you fool!

7. Look! It's Karl "Revere" Childers riding to save us!!

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize that the Black Helicopters were hovering above my apartment. Oh! But I couldn't, could I, since they're silent, thanks to technology borrowed from space aliens!! Silly me!

Oh, anyway, thanks again Paul, and I'd love to stay and chat, but I have to go now. You see, a small but dedicated group of liberals like myself are in the cat-burglar business. We roam from God-fearing suburban home to God-fearing suburban home, entering silently and removing all firearms so that the insidious ZOG-plot may reach fruition soon - BWAHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAH!!!!!!!!!!!

9. It's amusing

The Freepers can go on and on about the 2nd amendment (which I support btw), but when the Chimp shreds the rest of the constitution, they stand by and grin about it.
