NEED YOUR HELP

Dear Friends and Relatives:

I have the distinguished honor of being on the committee to raise
$5,000,000 for a monument of George W. Bush. We originally wanted to
put him on Mt. Rushmore until we discovered there was not enough room
for two more faces.

We then decided to erect a statue of George in the Washington, D. C.
Hall Of Fame. We were in a quandary as to where the statue should be
placed. It was not proper to place it beside the statue of George
Washington, who never told a lie, or beside Richard Nixon, who never
told the truth, since George could never tell the difference.

We finally decided to place it beside Christopher Columbus, the greatest
Republican of them all. He left not knowing where he was going, and
when he got there he did not know where he was. He returned not knowing
where he had been, and did it all on someone else’s money.

Thank you.
George W. Bush Monument. Committee

P. S. The Committee has raised $1.35 so far.

Not because they are "idiots" or aren't "eloquent" either... but because their policies suck, and it is thier fault there aren't enough cops. Katrina should have taught you what federal government funding gets you... waste! because the local govenments build hospitality centers, and renovate court houses instead of infrastructure.... I live in Chicago, ask Mayor Daley about our wonderful parks. I think Marie Antoinette once said, "Let them eat, cake" Ask Mayor Daley about why we have 8000 cops when we are supposed to have 13,000. He thinks we should add million dollar cameras... yeah they work... but for some reason they move the crime one block down... Ask him why the cops have to raise money for their memorial fund for a commorative monument and fund for famlies of fallen cops, meanwhile we have the hired truck scandal totalling millions, but builds park after park... and now he wants the Olympics....why cause he hates cops... about a Democrat who is about presentation and no substance... Guliani had it right, now New York continues to get better and better.... My girlfriend is in the academy to become a cop and her brothers and father are cops.... its tougher tobecome a cop because the regiment is so much more strict... never mind their insurance, never mind stupid trial lawyers, nevermind the animosity towards them in the communities because of culture... they told her one of the first things you should expect in your first month on the job to spit on... the last thing to expect is to be thanked by anyone in the community for what your do. The local jail here for example is completely run by the gangs.... and i mean even the officers who watch them... they guys come up in their ranks and make sure they have no records and then have them apply for the jobs... sick criminals are constanlty working the system... hmm cell phones, internet, (even terrorists do this too, shhh...) All they do is sit around workout, watch CSI, and Law and order.... but your own states, and cities give them more refuge with government aid and "entitlements" instead of the people who are trying to get them off the street. Ask when the last time your local democrat mayor or govenor pushed for more cops and higher sentences and penalties for violent crimes as a campaign platform... you all freaked out when 3 strikes your out was implemented, but it worked damn well... lol good stuff… i thought libs didn’t like cops anyway, all of a sudden after 9/11 you guys discovered the NYPD as a fashion statement…. i thought it was all about “therapy”, lighter sentences, being held at night, TV and internet access would help solve the crime problems… now it Bushes fault for trying to stop my money from adding another government bureaucracy to decide how my money should be redistributed over to to some schmuck mayor in some city i have never seen nor plan on visiting. i have enough problems with my taxes being used by my own mayor and govenor who i can’t stand. Not because they are “idiots” or aren’t “eloquent” either… but because their policies suck, and it is thier fault there aren’t enough cops.
Katrina should have taught you what federal government funding gets you… waste! because the local govenments build hospitality centers, and renovate court houses instead of infrastructure….

I live in Chicago, ask Mayor Daley about our wonderful parks. I think Marie Antoinette once said, “Let them eat, cake”

Ask Mayor Daley about why we have 8000 cops when we are supposed to have 13,000. He thinks we should add million dollar cameras… yeah they work… but for some reason they move the crime one block down… Ask him why the cops have to raise money for their memorial fund for a commorative monument and fund for famlies of fallen cops, meanwhile we have the hired truck scandal totalling millions, but builds park after park… and now he wants the Olympics….why cause he hates cops… about a Democrat who is about presentation and no substance…

Guliani had it right, now New York continues to get better and better….

My girlfriend is in the academy to become a cop and her brothers and father are cops…. its tougher tobecome a cop because the regiment is so much more strict… never mind their insurance, never mind stupid trial lawyers, nevermind the animosity towards them in the communities because of culture… they told her one of the first things you should expect in your first month on the job to spit on… the last thing to expect is to be thanked by anyone in the community for what your do.

The local jail here for example is completely run by the gangs…. and i mean even the officers who watch them… they guys come up in their ranks and make sure they have no records and then have them apply for the jobs… sick

I merely pointed out the operation of the universal law as expressed by the statement "Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged" As far as relative levels of venom is concerned, that is a matter of perspective. However, for all of Clinton's faults, he did not initiate a war of agression based on pretext and he did not reserve the right to torture. In short, from what I have seen, Bush has arguably committed international war crimes, whereas Clinton has not. And, since you are willing to attack Clinton using the equivalence of sound bytes, you really have no cause to complaint when others attack Bush in the same manner.
