McCain extends his Georgia stay

Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain, who lands in Buckhead Thursday for a fund-raiser, is extending his stay in Georgia through Friday morning.

The McCain campaign said the newly crowned nominee would visit Chick-Fil-A headquarters at 5200 Buffington Road, Atlanta, Friday at 8:30 a.m. before leaving the state.

The event is billed as an “employee town hall meeting,” so don’t bother calling for tickets.

Tonight, McCain has a fund-raiser at the Westin Buckhead. D.A. King, an opponent of illegal immigration, has already announced his people will be demonstrating outside.

Now he’s gotten word that opponents of the Iraq war will be there as well. He plans a secure border between the two camps. “Anti-war protesters are not part of my group. I have permit, and will not allow them to mix and mingle,” he told us.

There was mingling. I was there, it was crazy. King did good…I saw him leave in exasperation so we left too.

Where do they find the Ron Paul nuts and why didn’t their mommas teach them some manners?

They find them in mental institutions, American worker. Ru Paul supporters are crazier than Ru Pual, himself.

Chick-fil-a — a fast food chain supporting war and death?

Buy our sandwich and send your children, spouses and friends to die in Iraq.

People who are so obnoxious as to refer to another in an unwarranted manner — “Ru” instead of Ron — are merely demonstrating their insignificance in a world dominated by those that walk upright. Have another banana, Churchill.

So, wait… why are Ron Paul and his supporters nuts? Among other ideas that are in the best interest of Americans, he is promoting the things that many of the McCain protesters were calling for: no amnesty and an end to the occupation in Iraq. But I suppose you are just parroting what you heard Fox News spout the few times they mentioned his name.

Anyone who thinks Ron Paul is not telling the truth about the political tyrrany going on in this country and the obvious attack on our civil liberties by the bush dictatorship has not done their home work I would hope for the sake of freedom you would at least look at some of the info and evidence available on sites like infowar or youtube and many others and not just believe the nonsense they feed you on tv our childrens future depends on us to make the difficult but right choices facing us today.

Ru Paul is the only boob with less than 20 delegates. The Ru Paul message is really taking hold. It is spreading like wild fire. I cannot not believe the reaction Ru Paul is getting. It is truely amazing. Go Ru Go!!

Ron Paul’s message of liberty and self-determination sits well with me, right up until the “unless you’re a pregnant woman” issue arises. He wants two classes of citizens: Free, and women. BZZZZZT! Sorry, Dr. Paul. Wrong answer.

Funny Ru Paul story:

One week after our primary, my idiot neighbor places a Ru Paul sign in his yard. The next day he comes over and encourages me to vote for Ru Paul. I told him that we had already had our primary, and that I wouldn’t vote for Ru Paul anyway. I told him why. He looked and me and said “well, I am going to vote for him, I don’t care what you say.” I said fine, but I asked him when he was going to vote for him. He said “Next tuesday.” I wished him luck.

It is the Cathy’s business so they can do whatever they want. Good for them. It is the best place to stop in the mornings.
