Meant to Post This Early This Morning

But having gotten up at 4:30 to read news and then head out to my precinct I completely forgot it.

So here it is.

The Excitement Never Ends

Well, it’s been a long day but a great one yesterday.

Started off the morning in anticipation of driving people around to knock on doors and get out the vote but the morning took a detour as I headed off to the Republican HQ here in Hernando County to prepare for some surprise visitors.

Made some signs, did some clean-up, picked up food and other miscellaneous tasks.

It was a hot day today with temps near 87 degrees.  Imagine that.  November and close to 90 in Florida!  YIKES!

Anyway, round about 1 PM our tiny little headquarters office was overheated with dozens of people to include not only volunteers but our Congresswoman Ginny Brown-Waite, RPOF Chairman Carole Jean Jordan, State Representative David Russell, State Attorney General Charlie Crist, Senate candidate Mel Martinez, ANDGovernor Jeb Bush and brother Marvin Bush.

What a grand time!! Everyone was excited!  Speeches were given, hands were shaken, autographs passed out and before we knew it all was over.

So we migrated outside and while the governor was being interviewed this (sorry but I gotta be brutal) nasty old skanky type woman with a whole lotta dental work lacking shows up holding this nasty-assed cardboard sign supporting Kerry.  For all I know it could have been where she slept last night.

Now, I gotta tell ya’ she was THE LAST THING we needed there so I talked some 10-13 guys (retired cops) from NY to go near where she was and try to block her sign.  She dodged and turned avoiding them. Finally I got fed up as the press seemed to want to focus on her.  I went inside, barged through the crowd, grabbed a HUGE 4x8 foot Bush/Cheney sign and proceeded to completetly block her. Some folks (supposedly Republican) were not happy with what we were doing and were saying she had a right.  I yelled back, “I have a right, too!”

At about that time one of them said something to the effect that this was the sort of stuff that might drive him from the party.  The temptation to get right in his face was great and tell him we don’t need weaklings like him when all of a sudden this elderly lady does a face plant on the sidewalk.  The tension broke and we dedicated efforts to helping her as medics arrived.

Now here’s the ironic part.  One of our guys was getting interviewed later and you want to know what the press was interested in? 

Easy.  They wanted to know why we were trying to block the Homeless Queen from showing her sign!!  What arrogance!  It would not have been an issue if they had ignored her but in typical liberal media fashion they gravitated to the non-story rather than why it was that the Governor was in little old Brooksville.

It’s just like when we had “Support the Troops” rallies earlier this year.  We’d have 50-60 people out there and the media were only interested in the dirt balls across the street who were against us.

Asshole media really does not get it!!!

Here are some pictures.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
