It started as a small story in New Mexico. Dick Cheney was going to be speaking at a public rally. Some undecided voters wanted to go see what our Vice President had to say outside of his darkened lair. Unfortunately they discovered that in order to gain admission, they actually had to sign an official endorsement of George W. Bush. Yes, you heard that right. In America, in order to go to a public event where our employee the Vice President was speaking, you first had to sign an official endorsement for Bush.

Now we find ourselves a few months later and realize that this is actually the policy of the campaign. We have reports of people being turned away in Iowa as well. This is the official policy apparently when this ticket is campaigning. The obvious reason is again, perception. People will remember whenever they see Bush on the stump, fanatical crowds going crazy over their blood-for-oil President. Why wouldn’t they be anything but, after all, they were all obviously pro-Bush to begin with. There is absolutely no way a democrat, let alone an undecided could possibly even be there. It is all a controlled event, as is everything Bush does.
