San Francisco | U.S. | Arts + Action | Government & ElectionsElection Night at the Riptide
A map showing cookies for Obama-won states and crackers for those states that McCain took, decorated the wall at the Riptide in San Francisco on election night. A long line formed outside the Riptide in San Francisco's Sunset District, as folks crowded in to watch the final stages of the race to the presidency on the bar's televisions. Jeff Grubler, host of *Troubletown Nite at the Riptide* thanked Obama for winning, "because otherwise this party would have really sucked."
Party-goers made it clear they are not content with an Obama win, citing the continuing war and lack of social services that Obama has not pledged to fix. One election integrity activist cringed when Obama mentioned touch-screen voting in his acceptance speech, others shouted out "Make a Green Economy!" and "Nationalize Exxon!"
§Outside the Riptide, lining up
Jeff reminded everyone, "we can't relax now, just because Obama won. We've got two wars to stop."
Along with others our friend here shouted suggestions to Obama as he accepted the presidency. "Make it a green economy!" "Nationalize Exxon!"
That election was STOLEN by Republicans despite the hard work of folks like this
And an anonymous dancer
...it's ha ha ha Sarah Palin! You lose!

ha ha. Here are the results for the Minnesota house race with that jerk who attacked Jeff Grubler (above) who does good street theater, and has traveled to the RNC.
He was doing a routine of dancing to songs dressed as Bush and Cheney - when Matthews jumped on him and stole his mask, and then had the police arrest him. It's all pictured here. Luckily he's a loser, and lost once again. At least the police didn't press charges when even RNC attendees were complaining about what they saw happen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cbKhaBeQFU U.S. House - District 4 * County Results Candidate Votes % of votes 100% of precincts reporting Betty McCollum (Dem) *checkmark 216,217 69% Ed Matthews (Rep) 98,920 31%

Jeff must be ONE happy dude! Not only does he give a great party, he is totally vindicated with Ed Matthews loss. We should all send Matthews an email saying he got what he deserves. Here's his website; while looking for it I websearched "Ed Matthews" "Republican" "Minnesota" and the top entries are about his "committing petty theft at the RNC. http://www.edmatthewsforcongress.com/ |
