Ok someone please, explain this to me. I don't care who you're voting for or what party you support. HOW is this ok? Am I just missing a key point? This is the 3rd time it's happened!
Click here for the article I'm talking about.
Here's a snippet:
A 27-year-old registered Republican and member of the U.S. Army, along with three other people around him, was forced to leave the arena before getting inside.
The Wyoming Valley man who did not want to be identified by name because of his loyalty to his service members is being deployed to Iraq in two weeks. His Army service and status were verified.
He explained that he was attending the event in hopes of finding the right candidate to vote for on Nov. 2.
"I thought seeing Bush would be enough to sway my opinion one way or the other. After today, it definitely has swayed," he said.
While waiting in line, he noticed a stranger standing alone and invited the person to stand with him.
"I didn't think that would be a problem," he said.
It turned out to be.
Individuals from the Bush campaign spotted the individual with the soldier and identified the person as a Democratic supporter.
The spotters, and eventually police, asked the Democratic supporter to remove a jacket, a sweater and some other articles of clothing in what was described as basically a police search.
The soldier said the Democratic supporter did what was asked without any complaint. The person also provided a ticket to the event.
The rest is in the article. Since when is it ok to kick someone out of a public event, someone WITH A TICKET, just for supporting a different party? And THEN to kick out a soldier for TALKING to the guy. I wouldn't mind going to a Bush rally, just to hear what he has to say, but apparently I'm not allowed to be there, ticket or not.
Maybe I should stop going to Diamondback games, since the Braves are my favorite.
And next, for the Jewish people on the list, check this out:

The head guy for Jews for Jesus, a guy who has tried to convert Jews all over the country to "accept Jesus", was appointed by Bush to the presidental committee.
Snippet:
Mr. Solomon takes his work proselytizing American Jews very seriously. In August, the Washington Times reported on an extremely well-organized effort to convert Jews in the Washington, DC area -- and Mr. Solomon's church was "the hub of the evangelistic effort." The Times called it the "largest evangelistic effort in Washington in the 31-year history" of Jews for Jesus. To add insult to injury, the campaign was timed to coincide with the High Holidays.
The Times quotes Solomon saying, "My goal is 1 million pieces of literature handed out in four weeks. I'd like to see 500 Jews and Gentiles alike pray and ask Jesus into their life. ...I love doing this."
JUST the kind of person I want advising our PRESIDENT.
