They DO read B3D!! Fear!

[Natoma]

I just received the following letter from the Bush/Cheney '04 Re-Election Campaign:

Dear <STRIKE>Friend</STRIKE> Malik,

Will you become one of the first to join the Bush-Cheney '04 Team as a Charter Member in New York? I would be thrilled to tell the President you are with us.

As a small token of appreciation and to welcome you to our team, I am proud to present you with the enclosed photo of the President and Laura Bush -- complete with a special, personal inscription to you.

Your photo is a symbol of the commitment we share -- the commitment between you, the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign and President Bush. I hope you are as proud of this commitment as we are, and I also hope your photo will serve as a reminder o fthe importance of Charter Members of the Bush-Cheney '04 Team: to provide continuing grassroots support for President Bush and Vice President Cheney as we work to get the campaign up and running.

Already, Democrats have relentlessly attacked the President, while liberal special interest groups are raising hundreds of millions of dollars to defeat President Bush.

We are relying on our Charter Members to be the leaders in their area for President Bush and the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign.

And there are two things you can do today to help:

1) Send back the enclosed Receipt Confirmation Form to let me know that your photograph arrived in good condition and is suitable for framing and display. This may seem like a little thing, but it is very important to me personally to know that your support has been properly acknowledged.

2) When you send back your Receipt Confirmation, please include a contribution of $1,000, $500, $250, $100, $50, $35, $25 or whatever you can afford to join the Bush-Cheney '04 Campaign Team to help reach out to other grassroots leaders like you.

Your support is critical. The 2000 and 2002 elections revealed that our national political contests are extremely competitive but, if we work together, we can prevail.

It is essential we fully fund our voter outreach program -- this special program will make the difference between winning and losing in 2004. Our goal is to reach out to register 3 million voters who support President Bush's bold vision for America.

We will need to build this strong grassroots team because of the vicious attacks we're already facing from our Democrat challengers. Their rhetoric has amounted to nothing more than political hate speech. Senator John Kerry compared President Bush to Saddam Hussein, calling for regime change in the United States. Then, Democrat Party leader Terry McAullife accused the President of being AWOL during his National Guard service and of never having served in the military even though President Bush fulfilled his requirements and was honorably discharged.

And our opponents are well funded. Backed by the likes of billionaire currency trader George Soros, who has compared President Bush to a Nazi, various liberal special interest groups have vowed to defeat President Bush. So far these groups have amassed a war chest of almost $200 Million - with plans to raise half a billion dollars. Soros even said he would spend his entire $7 billion fortune if it would guarantee President Bush would lose in 2004.

President Bush is relying on you and other friends to help turn back these Democrat assulats and elevate the political debate for his positive, optimistic agenda for America:

• an agenda that continues the war on terrorism and protects the homeland,

• an agenda that strengthens the economy and creates new jobs,

• an agenda that makes it possible for every American to own a home, health and retirement plan and, if they want, their own business and

• an agenda that focuses on the results in schools so every child learns to read and no child is left behind

But the liberal national medai won't deliver this message to the American people. They have their own agenda. It is up to supporters like you to help us get the message directly to voters.

Thanks to the generous support of the Bush-Cheney Charter Members we are on our way to meeting our budget goal, but we still have a ways to go.

So please return your signed Receipt Confirmation Form today along with a contribution of $1,000, $500, $250, $100, $50, $35, or $25 to help us meet our goal and keep our voter contact programs moving forward.

I hope you will display your photo of President and Laura Bush proudly -- not only as a token of appreciation for your contribution to join as a Charter Member of the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign -- but also as reminder of why we cannot afford to fall short now.

On behalf of President Bush and Vice President Cheney thank you for your support.

p.s.: Your early support of President Bush and his campaign will mark you as a grassroots leader in New York. Only with your help as a Charter Member can can the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign create a viable grassroots organization. Please join the Bush-Cheney '04 Team as a Charter Member with your contribution of $1,000, $500, $250, $100, $50, $35, or $25 to help us lay the groundwork to win in 2004.

So anyway, a few questions.

1) Who's playing the practical joke and signed me up for the Bush-Cheney Re-Election campaign?

2) I know I've stated my opposition to John Kerry as the democratic nominee and the fact that I've officially become an Independent, but damn they must be desperate if they think I'm that far gone that I'd think about supporting Bush-Cheney for re-election. Maybe Bush-Guiliani.

3) I feel like a $2 whore with this letter.

"We love you, we need you! Send money. Oh, and damn the liberals! Did we say we need money? Thanks!

p.s.: psst! Send money!"

Wow.

4) I actually have my own autographed picture of Dubya and Mrs. Dubya. Hmm.. Maybe I should take the chance now to learn some Santeria, pour a little chickens blood on the photo, and work some voodoo magic.

5) Something is SERIOUSLY wacked out with the photo. Laura Bush looks fine. But for some godawful reason, Dubya's head looks about twice as big as it should look in proportion to his body. It looks like a damn bobblehead!

6) This was good for some damn fine laughs. Not the photo, but just the fact that I'm actually being courted by the republicans. So this is what it's like to be an independent.

If only they knew. Or maybe they do?

Are you by any chance registered as an independent? A few people I know (who are independents) received these same letters, some of them getting a second one, with a substantially bigger picture. The running joke was that you better mail the check, lest they mail you a 30'x30' poster that will crush your house and kill your family.

EDIT: LOL, should have read the post more closely. That explains it.

 

[K.I.L.E.R]

IT WAS ME!!!!!!!!!

Who designed that logo? I know that project was designed to do some pretty shady things, but who would be moronic enough to make a logo that would make a cheesy sci-fi evil ovlerlord feel shame by association?

Did the artist want to sneak a warning into the logo, or did the bureaucrats tell him "we just have to have a disembodied eye blotting out the sun as its withering gaze unceasingly beats down on the surface of the entire planet."

The thing is so overloaded with enough secret society symbolism that I'd say it belonged more on a conspiracy theorist's web site, and the clunky visual balance of that logo and the downright generic motto really screams clip-art/hack job more than anything. Surely the government can afford to hire a sober graphics designer.

There are few things I distrust, though it should be noted that two of those things are architectures with poor or no foundation, and stalkers. This thing goes hog wild and gives us a flying demonic stalker pyramid, why in the world didn't they just change the motto to muahahahahahafapfapfap?

Caused by an infection from wiping his ass with the Bill of Rights.

 

[Joe DeFuria]

Wow John,

That's pretty unsympathetic. Even for you....seriously.

 

[John Reynolds]

Wow John,

That's pretty unsympathetic. Even for you....seriously.

You guys take me too seriously. But the older I get the more I do tend to believe in karma.

P.S. And what's "even for you" mean? Since when am I some stony hearted, unfeeling bastard?

John the problem is people don't know each other well around here.
I've been on many forums, some people tend to pick up quickly the type of person you are, other times you can last on a forum for years and people still don't even know your basic personality.

For example, take a look at that thread DC started about freedom or something. I decided to crack a tasteless joke and all of a Sudden Vince had taken me seriously.
ES didn't know if I was joking or not either.

(That would be pretty much with every ad-hominem personal attack on Bush...but anyway...)


You seem all bent out of shape and upset about a political add that uses an event that defines the past and future polices of the administration....and as such you certainly present yourself as some "soft hearted, feeling, saint."

And yet, here's an individual with a health problem, and you are using it to interject a political message of your own. We've had a conversation about hypocrites before...

 

[zurich]

Am I the only person who thinks the "Homeland Security" language reeks of Nazi "Fatherland" rhetoric?

 

[John Reynolds]

(That would be pretty much with every ad-hominem personal attack on Bush...but anyway...)

Ohh, waaaah. Cry me a river, you big baby. Again, in the DeFuria book of standards ad hominem attacks on Kerry and other perceived left wing politicians is A-OK. Criticize Father Bush and you're a hypocrite who spouts liberal rhetoric.

You seem all bent out of shape and upset about a political add that uses an event that defines the past and future polices of the administration....and as such you certainly present yourself as some "soft hearted, feeling, saint."

I said it was tacky, you stridently defended it page after page. If I were the only person who thought it was tacky and in poor taste, you might actually have a point. Trust me, I was hardly "bent out of shape" about it. You, on the other hand, get so upset you move the theater of criticism away from the politicians to the people trying to discuss them.

And yet, here's an individual with a health problem, and you are using it to interject a political message of your own. We've had a conversation about hypocrites before...

And, again, you take things way too far. Ask yourself this Joe: why does me making an obvious joke (wiping ass with Bill of Rights) gets you so upset that you have to start yet another character assassination attack? Are you that mentally aligned with the incumbent administration? Are you that emotionally attached to the Bush Doctrine that even an obvious joke forces you to write such knee-jerk responses? I mean, you must have styrofoam bricks that you throw at the TV whenever a late night show host makes a joke about Bush's administration.

But at least you haven't resorted to the rollseyes emoticon in this thread yet.

 

[Joe DeFuria]

Ohh, waaaah. Cry me a river, you big baby.

How does pointing out your Hypocrisy amount to crying? Lol...

And this is for you:

And this is for you:

hehe

We need more emoticons. Like this one

j/k I think.

Well, the eye-pyramid is on our currency ya know. I can see how and why they created it, but anyone with a LOTR background would certainly have to chuckle at this one.

Lol, I've been waiting for an excuse to use that screenshot. Thanks!
