Bush using 9-11 in his new campaign ads is as cheap as the suits he wears. What’s next, showing him pray in church with a halo above his head?

"(John) Kerry now well on his way to reaching his magic number 2162. That's the total number of Democratic delegates he needs to win the nomination. See, for President Bush it's different; his magic number is five. That's the number of judges needed on the Supreme Court for him to win."  -Jay Leno

Is there any Bush relative currently serving in the military?

"President Bush said we will not get directly involved in domestic and economic problems in Haiti. Of course not, Bush doesn't even get involved in domestic and economic problems here." —Jay Leno

I must apologize if yesterday's vile email from the self proclaimed "Marine" offended anyone.  But it is so important to know what kind of people support Bush. I personally think he is a relative of Ann Coulter.

I received a plethora of responses ( I posted a few below).

Thank you all.

The fight has just begun.

Lisa,
I am a service-connected disabled veteran (100%) with 15 years of military service (Viet Nam and the First Gulf War). On behalf of all veterans (particularly the males with a sense of honor) I apologize to you for the crass, vulgar and tasteless note you received and printed in your Wednesday issue. I was appalled and ashamed when I read it. I was also taken to the point that Father Mulcahey said in a 'M*A*S*H episode, 'I am acrimonious!'... Ma'am, now I want you understand that I am somewhat conservative (due, perhaps, to my age, upbringing and military service). That being said, I will also say that I will NOT vote for Bush again (yes, I did in 2000) this time around. He and his ilk are liars and thieves, as have been proven by the facts daily. I also apologize for my stupidity in that regard, too... But, I will quote The Who from a song off their 'Who's Next' album... Won't get fooled again!
Regards,
Robert Phillip Adams
 

Sir:

I'm having difficulty believing you served in both the Marines AND the
Army's Special Forces
and didn't learn how to speak to a lady - or anyone else you may happen
to disagree with.

I served as a Green Beret in Vietnam in 1968, and in all my training on
Smoke Bomb Hill
and afterwards, I do not recall ever being taught to speak in such a
manner as you.

I think you owe Lisa Casey an apology.

Alan Charles

 

Hi Lisa,
I'm glad you haven't given up on the weekends, I was hoping you weren't still flu-ish.

That Stevenskylar@aol.com  guy has quite a "mouth", huh?

My father-in-law used to say that he could tell how classy a person was by the language they used. If they couldn't use decent language, they weren't very classy or intelligent. This came from a man who barely finished 8th grade in Ireland. Later, he came to America, worked, married and raised a family. He read all of Shakespeare because he wanted to - not because he had to. He could quote poets and playwrights. He died just a few years after I married, so I didn't get to know him all that well, but I knew he had class.

My grandmother used to say that "once you say something, it is out in the open and you can never take it back" and "People will know you by what they hear you say". Good god, these old, uneducated immigrants have left an enormous legacy for us to live up to.

Too bad Stevenskylar@aol.com  didn't have people like that in his life.

I am sorry that you are the target of such garbage.

Leslie

Lisa ,

I think its just great when you publish things like this guys letter.
Unfortunately for America, this mail reinforces the TV image that so
many Europeans have of ordinary Americans - ie a load of sexist foulmouthed
inarticulate boneheads, who mindlessly whoop and holler at things like
Dubyas plastic turkey.

You are a shining light. Lets hope that November brings us what the
whole world (including the Arabs) is yearning for, an America that once again
leads the world towards peace, prosperity and real freedom, with
honesty, decency and compassion.

Kind Regards

Alan Goswell (from England)
ps That guy moved me to put my hand in my wallet for AHNC - I am sure
he didn't mean to do that !

I am humbled by all of your comments. This website helps me keep my sanity in these horrific times and I am doubly thrilled when I can bring out your emotions.

Deep genuflection.
