Bush in West Phoenix, AZ - Protest Photos & Frustrations...

[Kevin Spidel]

He was 5 min away from my house today... yuck!

I live in Litchfield Park, AZ (West Phoenix) just 5 min from El Mirage, AZ which is where he stumped. Some photos of his stop, the protests, and Airforce One landing at Luke Airforce Base.

The "wave" in the limo is Laura Bush waving at the protestors... the damn cop got in the way of my shot. Her face was numb while we yelled at them.

I blogged some photos...

I saw your shots of the motorcade. Was he looking your way?

Thanks for the pics.

she's trying to claw her way out, or beating on the window screaming for help.

11. I think Laura bush must be a monster. She knows the truth about

her husband more than anyone else. Maybe she also has a 'beautiful mind'.

[Kevin Spidel]

25. beautiful mind.... or beautiful wave?

do you think she knew she was waving at protestors?

[mitchum]

22. Good thing she wasn't driving

3. Excellent thoughts on "protests"...

NGU.

[Kevin Spidel]

5. NGU?

What does that mean?

Thanks... its just a frustration. Can't we be organized and on message? Can't we show frustration without being hostile and inviting of folks who might need to "Ease" on into this protesting mindset? How can we be more inclusive versus angry.

8. Never Give Up...

...my personal motto since 11/03/04.

Folks like you and me just have to keep waving the message stick. It'll never be perfect. Every movement attracts its own share of moonbats. But I believe that we can get the majority of us on the same page. After all, inclusive and inviting are key qualities of being Progressive.

NGU.

14. NGU means Never give up!

Peace.
