Bush is losing the paranoid schizoid vote
No link - a Rantburg Exclusive

I work in the Washington DC area and see a fair number of homeless folks. Most are well behaved since DC passed a law making aggressive panhandling illegal.

In the past few months, I’ve noticed that those panhandlers who want to rant frequently have an anti-Bush theme added to whatever else they are saying.

Today, I saw a schizoid type at a store hanging out near where the shopping carts are parked. He delivered a long rant about how the carts were not aligned properly (at least I think that was the subject) then said, "its just like Bush".

It appears that Bush is losing the schizoid vote. If you add this to the ex-felon vote, the econut vote, the jihad vote, the socialist vote, the gay vote and the quotas and restitution for slavery vote, it could be looking very good for Kerry in Greenich Village, NY and the Tenderloin district of SF.

#1 What part of SF is it not looking good for J-Fing-K? The only question about some districts in SF is if the Nader-Camejo ticket will finish ahead of GWB.

#3 Actually biged there are some precincts on the west side of SF in the Sunset and Richmond districts where GWB may do well. These are inhabited by people who have paid high SF taxes all there lives and have gotten less and less in the way of city services.

#4 Don't these folks kinda forget about voting. Perhaps we could whip by them with an uncorked wine bottle on a stick that they can chase after like the rabbit at the greyhound races?

#5 For the last few weeks I've seen Democratic Supporters (sporting a 'Democratic party' pin on their chest just like they do with Kimmie-boy's pin in Kimmieland...) on the streets in Downtown Seattle.

They always ask things like 'Do you want to get Bush out of the whitehouse'? or 'Would you like to remove Bush'? (I always respond with 'Why? He's doing a great job!' which shuts them up pretty fast).

Odd how they never tell what they would do and dont mention Kerry.... or what they would have done instead...

#6 I told the high school kid that came by here sporting a Kerry pin and clip board that I wasn't going to vote for democrats because I didn't want him to get drafted ... ya see, a clean-cut, pasty-white, fella such as himself was obviously school bound .....and the Dem's want to assure that a rich, white, child of privilege such as he be forced to join the service, despite the fact that there are more than enough volunteers. What?... didn't he know his party was pushing to reinstate the draft??? See how important it is to pay attention in class?

ok..that's what I should have said.

#8 So it looks like the Dimbos can save the money on the free smokes and malt liquor for the homeless voter program this year?

#9 Capt America---What you do is to take some high test monofiliment fishing line, tie it onto the back of your pickup, tie the other end to the bottle of Ripple, and drive in 1st gear at low speed. It is called Trolling for Winos and will be the title of Mike Al-Moor's new movie, which will be coming out this fall to a theatre near you, well maybe.
