xiphiasSo, the Republican National Committe gave us a Platinum donor card for our lifelong support of the party, and sent it with a postage-paid envelope for us to send back a donation.
So I wrote them a note. On the back of an unemployment check envelope.
So I wrote them a note. On the back of an unemployment check envelope.
To whom it may concern:
My wife and I have both been unemployed or underemployed since Bush stole the White House with thuggish and vicious intimidation of voters. We watched with horror as he gutted the programs protecting us from terrorists and blame him for 9/11. We abhor his bigoted anti-gay policies, think he's a wishy-washy waffler on stem-cell research, have noticed his utter contempt for scientific research, the environment, and the public good in general, and believe that he is evil and going to hell.
He also looks like a chimpanzee, and is a draft-dodging, drug-addicted, alcoholic, AWOL coward, who cheats at rugby, never succeeded at anything in his life that wasn't given to him, and has yet to utter a grammatical sentence that wasn't written for him, and even then it's iffy.
Anyway, thank you for your membership in your Platinum club, and we will be using this to get access to candidates.
Here's hoping you lose in November by such a large margin that your Diebold cheating can't steal the election -- again.
Sincerely,
Ian Osmond
PS: And the economy is your fault, too.

Date: 2004-08-12 11:59 pm (UTC)On "thuggish intimidation of voters": Everyone does that. Democrat, Republican, Communist, Green, Fascist, and otherwise. Hold no false illusions that any political party is decent and honest, and know that you are always voting on the lesser of two horrific evils.
On "bigoted anti-gay policies": I present to you a quote from none other than Senator John Kerry: "My argument is that marriage is a union between men and women as defined through centuries. End of argument. Period. I don’t make procreation or any other argument about it. It’s just the way I’ve seen the issue". Seems your "champion" is about as evil as your bigot.
On wishy-washy-waffling: I present to you another quote from our friend Kerry: "I oppose abortion, personally. I don't like abortion. I believe life does begin at conception."
On the environment: Here's our buddy Kerry again: "Being responsible about the environment is not some goo-goo, do-gooder, silly notion that you embrace once a year on Earth Day," railed Kerry to a Florida crowd. "It's important to life itself." Interesting statement coming from JFK, since he & his mega-rich wife own a gas guzzling private jet, an energy-eating power yacht, owns five mansions that consume thousands of gallons of oil to heat and cool - and keep a fleet of SUVs running night-and-day outside their Beacon Hill mansion.
On looks: I sincerely hope you don't vote on candidates based on how they look. If you do, it's another good argument for dictatorship.
On going AWOL: Better than slaughtering innocent civilians: While in command of Swift Boat 44, Kerry and crew operated without prudence in a Free Fire Zone, carelessly firing at targets of opportunity racking up a number of enemy kills and some civilians. His body count included-- a woman, her baby, a 12 year-old boy, an elderly man and several South Vietnamese soldiers. (For the brain-dead out there, the South Vietnamese were our allies fighting against the North Vietnamese.)
On never succeeding: He's the freaking president. I don't think you can "succeed" much more than that. The man had to earn votes, nobody handed them to him.
On writing your own speeches: Very very few presidents in the history of time have written their own speeches. It's pretty much Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, and the early presidents.
On stealing the election: The electoral college exists for a reason, and I wouldn't want it gone even if the next six presidencies were won by candidates I hated because of it. Essentially, we vote for electors, who then vote for the president. This is to make sure that there's a failsafe in case something goes horribly wrong and Hitler II gets the popular vote. Besides, they did the recount afterward just to see how it would've worked out. Turns out Bush got even more votes than originally accredited to him. Interesting.
P.S.: The economy is always the fault of the president beforehand. No number of policies that a president makes can turn the economy around in a single term. Therefore, the economy is Clinton's fault, and the economy under Clinton was Bush Sr's fault. Maybe if we stopped handing out Welfare checks and Social Securuty, you'd have a little bit more money to throw around. Just some food for thought.
Have a nice day.
