Run In With Mr. Edwards

Edwards, Kerry, Bush and Cheney have relatively little to do with these
low
level security details. All this stuff has long ago been delegated well
away from them. If anything, Kerry's campaign has requested that security
of this sort be less rather than more.

I'd say my experience serves as evidence to the contrary.

The Democrats claim to be the "party of the people" -- yet they treat
potential constituents like this? Heck, my family couldn't even approach
THE FENCE with a camera, let alone get close to Edwards himself.

Now, mind you, if Edwards was a "somebody" (I.E.: The Vice-President. The
President . The King. The Pope) I might understand this kind of
fascist-brand of security -- but he is NOBODY.

He is a vice-presidential CANDIDATE, which ranks him just ahead of Orca the
Whale in national importance.

The whole situation is absurd.

And you think that Edwards personally drew that line in the sand?

Sorry, I agree with the previous poster. The security details are set
up by the SS, and the candidate has little to say about how they are
executed.

With all respect, Jay, your experience is meaningless in that regard.

The Democrats claim to be the "party of the people" -- yet they treat
potential constituents like this? Heck, my family couldn't even approach

The "Democrats" have absolutely nothing to do with this. This is the
security apparatus operating; nothing more, nothing less.

Now, mind you, if Edwards was a "somebody" (I.E.: The Vice-President. The
President . The King. The Pope) I might understand this kind of
fascist-brand of security -- but he is NOBODY.

Again, with all due respect, you have not thought this out.

He is a vice-presidential CANDIDATE, which ranks him just ahead of Orca
the
Whale in national importance.

I completely disagree. What do you think would happen if he were to be
attacked? Do you think that would be a good thing for this country? For
the world?
There are many things big and small that Washington does which I do not
agree with but due diligence security procedures are not one of those.
Sorry for your minor inconvenience. Weren't you saying GA in your neck of
the woods wasn't affected much by these security issues? In other parts of
the country we deal with stuff like this, AND MUCH WORSE, all the time yet
we deal with it and life goes on. Maybe you now have some small inkling
what a lot of the rest of us go through.

The whole situation is absurd.

The whole world is absurd. The inmates are running the asylum.

Ya know... I think that many people *would* think that would be good for the
country!

Uh...you tried to get into any Bush or Cheney events lately? Or operate an
aircraft in a city where they're appearing? It goes both ways.

Fortunately those law-abiding Terrorist Flight Restrictions keep terrorists
from flying over them.

And just how close do you think you would have got to Cheney or Bush? Let's
keep your inconvenience in perspective -- you are wrong to blame either
Edwards or the Democrats (I am actually a Republican, so this is an unbiased
comment).

Now, mind you, if Edwards was a "somebody" (I.E.: The Vice-President. The

The same VP candidate of the "party of the people" was decrying the working
people living paycheck to paycheck at the People's Party convention in Boston
last month. This of course was after the DNC and its leaders loudly instructed
everyone who lives or works in or near Boston to stay home while the party
bosses were in town to play. Just stay home. Take the week off.
