Obtaining Cheney Rally Ticket Requires Signing Bush Endorsement

By Jeff Jones
Journal Staff Writer
Some would-be spectators hoping to attend Vice President Dick Cheney's rally in Rio Rancho this weekend walked out of a Republican campaign office miffed and ticketless Thursday after getting this news:
Unless you sign an endorsement for President George W. Bush, you're not getting any passes.

The Albuquerque Bush-Cheney Victory office in charge of doling out the tickets to Saturday's event was requiring the endorsement forms from people it could not verify as supporters.
State Rep. Dan Foley, R-Roswell, speaking on behalf of the Republican Party, said Thursday that a "known Democrat operative group" was intending to try to crash Saturday's campaign rally at Rio Rancho Mid-High School. He added that some people were providing false names and addresses and added that tickets for the limited-seating event should go to loyal Bush backers.
However, some who left the office off Osuna NE without tickets on Thursday said they're not affiliated with an operative group and should have a right to see their vice president without pledging their allegiance to Bush.

"I'm outraged at this. I'm being closed off by my own government. It's crazy," said East Mountains resident Pamela Random, who added that she is an unaffiliated voter.
John Wade of Albuquerque said he initially signed the endorsement but was having second thoughts before he even left the office. Wade, a Democrat, said he returned his tickets and demanded to get his endorsement form back.
"It's not right for me to have to sign an endorsement to hear (Cheney) speak," Wade said. "I'm still pissed. This just ain't right."


An endorsement form provided to the Journal by Random says: "I, (full name) ... do herby (sic) endorse George W. Bush for reelection of the United States." It later adds that, "In signing the above endorsement you are consenting to use and release of your name by Bush-Cheney as an endorser of President Bush."

The John Kerry/John Edwards campaign on Thursday issued a news release that asked, "Shouldn't all New Mexicans have the right to see their VP?"
Ruben Pulido Jr., a spokesman for that campaign, said the Democratic Party has no screening requirements for those interested in seeing Kerry or Edwards.


THAT'S REPIGNICAN NEOCONSERVATIVE AMERICA FOLKS! Like it?

Seems like a bad PR move, but comparing it to any sort of facism is, frankly, very silly.

Pronunciation: 'fa-"shi-z&m also 'fa-"si-

2 : a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control



run along now dear................

Er... you do of course realize that your proved my point for me, right?

First of all, DBG, you need to understand that 99% of those who support President Bush aren't "neo-cons." Neo-conservatives are a very small sub-category of conservatives. In fact, President Bush isn't even a neo-con, though certain members of his staff are. You need to brush up on who and what neo-cons are before you, you know, end up sounding like an ill-informed fool.

You also, apparently, need to learn how to read a dictionary definition. It says:

a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

The "and" is inclusional. That means that in order for a government to be consider facist, it must do all of these things:

1. Exalt nation and often race above the individual.
2. Have a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictator.
3. Severe social and economic regimentation.
4. Forcible (as in lethal) supression of the opposition.

None of this has come to pass in the United States, I'm pleased to report. So climb back down into your loony shelter, and I'll let you know when it's okay to come out. Alright?
