I just got back from the DuPage County Fair. You know DuPage County - the proud home of Peter Roskum and Henry "Youthful Indiscretions" Hyde. . .
The Dems have a nice display in the "main building" (which moved to another building) with pictures of all the reps, a nice display, life-sized Obama, nice Hillary -- just proud to be out there.
Then we looked for the Pubs. . . and looked. . . and looked (of course to taunt them)
Finally we found them in a tent by the midway. Between the rolled sandwiches and the knock-off sun-glasses. Only lawn signs (and the small ones). THAT'S IT. Oh yea, there was blow-up elephant. NO PICTURES. NO LITERATURE. One token guy in a wheel chair (who I over-heard was paid to be there) and a token darker-skinned person (Middle-East-ish. . .??). They were all under the tent -- well hidden. . .and just waiting for the fair to be over.
Yea, ran into ONE guy that had a Donnie sign that couldn't quote one fact. He was proud he served in Viet Nam and when I said how does he feel about Donnie's words about McCain's being a loser or that Donnie survived Viet Nam by not getting and STD he said: "demz just words". . . Hillary jail. . . Bill women. . . <<snort snort, drag knuckles, breathe through mouth, yell at clouds, lather rinse, repeat>> There were a few that agreed with him but they kept it quiet.
Oh how low they've sunk.
We can't take things for granted but DuPage County might be BLUE!!!
