Bush**-Rove & Co. in trouble- my real life experience.
My wife and I were at drinks and dinner with eight others last night, after a day in a seminar of retired volunteers. We have known these six of these people for five years and two were new members of the organization. Five of the ten there were expressing their displeasure with Bush** and Co. very often throughout the evening and I just nodded my head. I couldn't get a word in edgewise! Two of the ten have Bush** - Cheney stickers on their cars and did not offer defense of the administration. Six months ago, people would have been more quiet about Bush** in deference to the Bush**ers. Things are changing, folks, it is very noticeable now. I don't have much time to watch TV news (and the only cable I care to watch is basketball) but I read the papers a lot and it is apparent in a lot of the editorials of papers that I read that Bush** and Co are in a heap of trouble. It is very noticeable now.

2. I haven't seen a pro-W bumper sticker in a while
but I see more and more Kerry stickers.

I just slapped on a sticker saying "Don't blame me, I voted Democratic."

6. Like you, I see very few Bush stickers around town lately. I've
also noticed that people I know who supported him on Iraq are strangely quiet these days. They just don't have much to talk about.

7. I have lots.
Here in Oregon, we're starting to see the change. Wherever you go now, it's out in the open. People are starting to openly talk about it. Here's a typical conversation: "We're in Bush world now (meaning, the economy is destroyed)".

At the library, an older gentleman is sitting at the computers. He says to his friend, "you wouldn't want to become like BUSH now, would you?

Outside that same library, there is a man with a clipboard. He's looking for people to sign a petition. The petition is to impeach Bush. He openly talks about 9/11, and how it was a MIHOP. Just unbelievable. People are standing around, nodding their heads, talking to this man. Right out in the open. I hear it everywhere I go, in the check out line at the grocery store, in line for the movies.

People have figured it out.

9. yay

Hey, that's great! Glad to hear about it.

I think one of the most surprising figures I ever heard was that a majority of NY'ers thought bush had something to do with 9/11 and that figure was only about two years after 9/11 happened.

8. Good to hear your experience. I, too, have noticed this.
Strangers seem very willing to openly voice their displeasure. I met with a realtor yesterday and, she initiated some * bashing. I was happy to concur with her! My repug sister sat there and said nothing.
The repugs cannot stand to be WRONG! Drives me crazy. Just shows their ignorance and inability to analyze the issues.

What will it take get the masses in the streets?!!
