Even reporters required to sign Loyalty Oath swearing allegiance to Bush

Even reporters wanting to attend the Vice President’s speech were required to sign Loyalty Oath swearing allegiance to Bush if they were not registered Republicans.

Here is the text of that Loyalty Oath:

'I, (full name) ... do herby (sic) endorse George W. Bush for reelection of the United States.' It later adds that, 'In signing the above endorsement you are consenting to use and release of your name by Bush-Cheney as an endorser of President Bush.'

The John Kerry/John Edwards campaign on Thursday issued a news release that asked, "Shouldn't all New Mexicans have the right to see their VP?"

When Kerry visited Albuquerque earlier this month, a contingent of Bush supporters were in the crowd. The Associated Press has reported that the group chanted "Viva Bush!" during the event. The AP added that Kerry urged the crowd to tolerate the Bush supporters.

Whenever top Bush Administration officials speak, protestors are kept miles away in "Free Speech Zones" and reporters are not allowed to interview them. Kerry's response in Arizona and Cheney's illustrate a vast difference between the Bush/Cheney camp and the Kerry/Edwards camp with regard for tolerating dissent.

I bet this won't even be covered on the evening news. Nor will the race of the reporter question posted below. The vast majority of the American people will have no idea what Bush and Company are doing.
