See, I can play the game, too - which doesn't mean that I care to. I got out of the hard core nonsense a while ago.

Bush events require tickets. The people handing out those tickets are very reticent about who they give them to. I'm not talking about fundraising dinners (of course those require tickets!) but simple speeches. Here's an article from 2005 discussing the issue:

I was denied tickets to events in 2004 on several occasions. I doubt it was because I am a white Irish Catholic girl from the suburbs - but I stated that to make it clear that I am not someone who appears to be a "terrorist" or of a race that (sadly) arouses suspsicion. In fact, when the twins came to Marquette, the rumor was that every member of the College Democrats was banned from attending.
