ALBERTO’S LATEST ‘STORY’: DISPUTED PROGRAM NOT TSP, BUT ESP

Email;

Subject: How to spot a Republican

First they have that “deer caught in the headlight” stare----------------------------------

Next they reluctantly admit that George W. Bush hasn’t done too well--------------

Then comes the proclamation that “all politicians” are crooks----------------------

And they didn’t vote for George----WINK-----WINK----yea right!!!!!!!!!!

Then they proudly proclaim that they vote for the man and have voted for some Democrats---------------


Now lets see, they are always crying about Clinton, they can’t stand John Kerry or Al Gore, they despise Walter Mondale and Jimmy Carter, they are 35 years old and have just been voting for 17 years now, so who did they vote for???

Now, comes the speech about how narrow minded and stupid you are to always blindly vote Democrat. And they are so well informed, after all they get their news from Fox News and O’Riley and Rush “Blow-Bag” Limbaugh and whine about the “Liberal Media”.

Watch out---------now comes the “pitch” about the Democrats wanting to support all these sorry people who won’t work, never mind that the record shows, 5% of the budget goes to welfare and 21% goes to the rich and big corporations.

They want to mention the “stained” blue dress, but it has never occurred to them that their Republican Party spent two years and over 60 million dollars to come up with that dress, nor have they ever gave a thought to the probability that this wasn’t the first time or the only people to have engaged in this type of activity while President or a Congressman or Senator and I know the Republicans are too noble to have “set” this up, after all, I am sure any woman would save the dress in a plastic bag and not have it cleaned. They try to come up with a big spill wanting to thank Clinton for teaching their children about oral sex. They seem to forget that after spending all that money and making sure it was on TV, people didn’t seem to get too upset about it, so they, the Republicans insisted that the transcripts were released to the newspapers, who published them word for word and any 3rd grader who could read, got all the little details.

Last, but not least, they want to make jokes about Hillary Clinton. I am not sure why, maybe they are scared to death of a woman who is not as dumb as a rock, or they are trying to get your mind off the terrible mess the Republicans and George W. have gotten us into. Maybe they would like Hillary better if she would tell a story about Bill milking a horse, a male horse like “dumber than a rock” Laura Bush told on George.

Paul

Thanks for writing Paul.

The slow motion coup d'etat by the GOP escalated with Clinton's adultery impeachment, went into full speed with Jeb handing Florida to W on the family silver platter and continues with the Bungled Bush wars. But remember, after 9-11, W told us to shop! I felt so much safer when he told us that, didn't you?

For the first time in US history, a woman has a shot a becoming president and sadly she is a divisive factor within her own party.

Hillary at her worst would be better than any Republican at his best.

I hear you about the many newspapers that published those transcripts.  My hometown newspaper at the time, the Pensacola News Journal published those transcripts in full -- and this same newspaper claims to be a family newspaper! It sure was a inexpensive way to teach sex education to our youngins! YeeHaw!

Republicans have  again dragged this country into debt and has now bungled 2 wars.  Why would anyone want to vote Republican? Beats me.

FLASH--WASH.DC: Philip Morris said today that the tobacco settlement is costing so much money that they may have to lay off two Republican senators.

Those Hangings Chads From Flori-duh Weren't So Bad, After All

State-sanctioned teams of computer hackers were able to break through the security of virtually every model of California's voting machines and change results or take control of some of the systems' electronic functions, according to a University of California study released Friday.

The researchers "were able to bypass physical and software security in every machine they tested,'' said Secretary of State Debra Bowen, who authorized the "top to bottom review" of every voting system certified by the state.

Iraqi Team Captain Speaks

The Iraqi captain, who like the rest of the team wore black armbands to remember the dozens killed by car-bombers following the side's semi-final victory over South Korea on Wednesday, said the United States presence in his homeland was a "problem".

"I want America to go out," he said. "Today, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, but out. I wish the American people didn't invade Iraq and hopefully it will be over soon."

Bad news: a NASA computer was sabotaged. Good news: there is no evidence the perpetrator was wearing disposable diapers.
