| If Democrats knew how to act, maybe they COULD come to the rallies. As it stands, however, they take every opportunity to disrupt the speeches and make the whole thing a juvenile mess so they should be forced to stay away. People go to these things to see the President, not listen to a bunch of screaming DUers.

| Personally, I think hecklers should stay away from Kerry rallies, too. I WANT people to hear him talk without distraction. I want them to hear every syllable that comes out of his and his wife's mouths.

That's the sort of spin and distortion that really pizzes me off about the Democrats. Rallies aren't meant for the President or VP to "get their message out" and "speak tot he people" - they're meant to energize the base and get them all fired up. ![]()

| I think they should open the events to supporters and undecided voters. Maybe make people sign a statement saying that they won't heckle or in any way disrupt the event. I like this quote: Quote:

As for the assertion that rallies are meant get out the vote of the base...I agree and disagree. At this stage of the campaign, I believe that rallies should function to energize the base and reach out to undecideds. After the debates, a rally's purpose should simply be to get the base out.

But that's beside the point. While I take great enjoyment out of hecklers harrassing Kerry, I still think he should be able to get his message out without disruption. And if the DNC only wanted supporters at their rallies, I would fully understand that and not think it was a big deal. There is a faction of the Democratic party that thinks it's funny to make jokes about killing the President and have no problem invading Karl Rove's personal residence to make themselves heard. They have absolutely no respect whatsoever. I think it's entirely reasonable for the RNC to take precautions against having these sorts at their rallies.
