Bush exlcludes 55-year old social studies teacher from rally

There is a Democratic way and a Republican way. No wait a minute, That's not quite right. Republicans are better than their leadership. Republican ideals are much more classy and make much more sense than the bonehead in charge right now.

As I have said many times in the past, the attitude and processes by which the lower level of an organization operates truly reflects the organization's leadership. The Bush campaign is vetting the attendees at its campaign events with peculiar ferocity.

This comes in from Traverse City, Michigan:

Kathryn Mead wanted to see her first sitting president when George W. Bush visited the city.

Instead, Bush campaign staffers tore up the 55-year-old social studies teacher's ticket and refused her admission because she sported a small sticker on her blouse that touted the Democratic ticket of John Kerry and John Edwards.

I am a Kerry supporter. But I would want to see President Bush speak. Isn't he my President? That kind of behavior is pathetic, un-American, and indicative of the exact attitude the US under Bush projects to the rest of the world.
