Yep, those 9-11 images in Bush's ads are tasteful. And the sky is green.

Anybody notice the presidiot not wearing the
seatbelt in his 'big truck or little mean man' S(whaddayamean
sport)U(utility?)V(well at least we can agree on 1 aspect).
Some great role models you've got over there (though we're trying hard to catch
'up' in old U'rope).

Glad to be at your service.

not
only is his vehicle in less than perfect repair, it looks like ol'
Dub's not wearing his seatbelt, either. in fact, it looks like it has
been fastened behind him to facilitate his not using it ever. looks
like he's risking himself in the event of one of those SUV rollover
accidents that are so common.
great page!
thanks

Bush don't have to wear a seat belt if he don't wanna. Like the above email stated, we have great role models over here.
Bush's poll ratings would probably rise if he stayed out of the spotlight. I say, let him continue inserting foot into mouth.
“A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a
statistic.”
--Joseph Stalin
...and 551 needless, senseless deaths of America’s bravest young people gets
“A job well done, Mr. President. We want you to do this four more
years.”
Hey Bush: Don’t use my husband as your mascot
A 9/11 widow’s letter to Bush about his new bragging campaign:
“My husband, Luis Eduardo Torres, was at his second day of work at
Cantor Fitzgerald on 9-11. He jumped from the 105th floor of the North Tower.
Most of his upper body was recovered, identifiable only through dental
records. I was seven months pregnant at the time... The flags were intended to
honor ground zero and the remains of the dead, but here they are merely
props, used to add a powerful patriotic punch to your message. The tower and
the corpse are two hideously broken and disfigured things behind and under
the flag, and your image—with your red tie, white shirt, and blue suit,
standing in front of thick strong white columns—serves as another,
symbolic, flag. That image of ground zero, and the body shrouded with
the flag, reminded me of the sulfur from the few pathetic remnants of my
husband’s last day: I thought I’d finished dealing with the gruesome aspects of
his dead body, but it came back to me during your commercial.”
These SOBs don’t care about anything but the billions they are
stealing. To continue stealing these billions, they have to remain in power and
they’ll do anything to keep that gravy train coming because the trillions
they’ve stolen are not enough.
“Those ads they’re running for President Bush - shouldn’t they talk
about 9/14 instead of 9/11? That’s when he got to town, right? When I saw the
first ad, I thought Rudy Giuliani was running for President. “—Mike
Lupica, sports dude - I think, no attribution was sent.
Let’s all remember that Bill Clinton was in Australia on 9-11 and he
beat Bush to New York. Let’s also remember on 9-11, Bush went into hiding
like a scared little girl and Giuliani stood tall and told America we’d get
thru this while Bush was hiding,
The gall of the GOP bastards to say Bush was a decisive,
aggressive in-command
leader that day, when the best he could muster was a short message on
videotape, like it was shot in some Afghan cave. If the Democrats had any brains
or courage, they’d make him EAT 9-11, but no, that wouldn’t be polite and Mr
Rove might not approve.

The Real State of the Union Message from Pensacola, Florida
Don't forget to VOTE today for John Kerry in the Florida
Democratic Primary. Polls are open all day from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Let's show
Bush that we Floridians haven't forgotten the 2000 Election and that our votes
in this part of Florida DO in fact count! Kerry may be the nominee already but
he still needs our support. A strong primary showing will send a clear message
to Bush that we mean business in Florida.
THEN, AFTER YOU VOTE...
Join fellow Kerry, Dean, Clark and Edwards supporters along with Democrats,
Republicans and Independents in a showing of unity at Seville Quarter
beginning at 6:00 p.m. for a "Take Back America" victory rally!
AND THE BEST PART IS ... IT'S FREE!
Yes, it's FREE! After you vote tomorrow, simply keep your "I VOTED" sticker, or
if your polling precinct doesn't give out "I VOTED" stickers, ask for a ballot
receipt before you leave the polls. If neither are possible or you voted
absentee, a voter registration card will also get you into Seville Quarter for
FREE.
The party begins at 6:00 p.m. and lasts "until." During the party you can win
FREE DOOR PRIZES from some of Pensacola's top restaurants and various artists.
Over 20 prizes will be given away throughout the evening. Channel 3 News will be
there to cover the event, so call you mothers and tell them you might be on TV!
In the meantime, you can rub elbows with other concerned citizens, learn more
about candidate Kerry and volunteer to make a difference in the months before
the General Election.

2000: George W. Bush ????????????
And to think that we had two guys fighting it
out in the courts to be the one elected in 2000.
You might also be interested in this.
Have a history teacher explain this----- if they can.
Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.
Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.
Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in
the White House.
Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head.
Now it gets really weird.
Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln.
Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.
Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.
John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.
Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.
Now hang on to your seat.
Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called 'Lincoln' made by 'Ford.'
Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.
Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.
And here's the kicker.......
A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in
Monroe, Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn,
Monroe..
Creepy huh? Send this to as many people as you
can, because this is one history lesson people don't mind reading.

Take care, Frank
I did post that pic, but
removed it accidentally. I will repost as I have had many inquiries.(?)
I show my face on my site not for ego, but to let people know I am just like
them. A real middle class American. And not to be afraid to show your face,
because power is in numbers. And watching the tide turn against Bush, I feel all
patriotic all over seeing the will of the people get a pulpit, at long last.
We need more Democrats out there speaking their mind.
