Governor Bush Greeted By Crowd Of Hungry SUV’s

 

04/30/01

 

Well we did it again.  We protested Jeb for the 3rd time in 3 days.  This time it was at the Weston Hills Country Club in a very wealthy area.  I finally figured out why these people like Jeb and George so much.  No, it has nothing to do with bringing integrity back to the white house, or tax relief.  It is because they need the fuel for their gas-guzzlers, and the Bush boys are in the oil business!  Every vehicle that poured into that country club was an oversize SUV.  Their were Navigators, Land Cruiser, Explorers, Explosions, God knows what else!  They are the reason there is an oil shortage. What do they get – 10 miles to the gallon?

 

Anyways, I arrived early to stake out the spot.  I held up my sign “Gore Won It – Bush Stole It,” with a “No More Bushit” sticker taped to it.  Not much reaction from the rich moms driving their kids home from school.  Although everyone did make a point to read it.  I got a thumbs up from a guy in a Mercedes convertible – not bad.  There was a honk or two.  One lady said “Don’t you have anything better to do?”  I said, “This was the best thing I could think of to do today!”  I meant it.  I have a lot to do, but this is what I wanted to do!

 

After about 15 minutes a fellow protester, Frank, from the carpenter’s union showed up.  He picked up the “Honk if Bush Stole The Election” sign.  We started to get honks.  All told we got about 15 honks and 4 people gave us the finger (I guess those were the “high moral grounders”) in an hour.

 

 The best part was when Jeb drove by in a black Lincoln Town Car with dark windows.  He was in the front passenger seat on the phone and as he drove by I saw him reading my sign!  See how much impact only 2 people can have!
