VOTE For Kerry - Bush Has To Go...

I am a senior citizen..
During the Clinton Administration I had an extremely good and well paying job. I took numerous vacations and had several vacation homes. Since President Bush took office, I have watched my entire life change for the worse. I lost my job. I lost my two sons in that terrible Iraqi War. I lost my homes. I lost my health insurance. As matter of fact I lost virtually everything and became homeless.
Adding insult to injury, when the authorities found me living like an animal, instead of helping me, they arrested me.
I will do anything that Senator Kerry wants to insure that a Democrat is back in the White House come next year. Bush has to go.
I just thought you and your listeners would like to know how one senior citizen views the Bush Administration. Thank you for taking time to read my letter.
Sincerely,
Saddam Hussein

How do you know the Bush Administration doesn't care? The Bush Administration doesn't have anything to do with social security. Sorry I will not vote for a murderer and pro-gay person. I would rather have a person that doesn't always tell the truth but, believes in God.

Chris Thomas, Air Force Pilot:
I would like to add my two cents about my John Kerry experience. During my
career as an Air Force pilot, I spent two years flying a small twin engine
prop plane around the Pacific from my base in Okinawa, Japan. On one trip we
had to fly Senator Kerry, his congressional aide, and a Navy Captain (Vietnam,
A-4 fighter pilot) who was also in Kerry's party to various
locations in Vietnam and Cambodia as part of the MIA/POW talks.
When I met him, he was wearing a shirt with a picture of his sailboat on it.
I told him I had a 27' sailboat in Okinawa, he remarked "Oh I never sail on
anything less than 135 feet." Thanks, Senator, "I feel even better about the
meager salary I get paid for flying you around the Pacific."
When we first flew him into Phnom Penh, he went to the back of the airplane
and grabbed the pizza that was put aside for the crew and passed it around to
his staff. He was never offered any pizza because they were supposed to have
lunch with the Cambodian government when we landed. The pizza was the crew's
only meal for that day and he ate it.
Then when we picked him up in Cambodia, he was an hour late getting to the
airport. Because fuel was an issue, we could not start the engines and
therefore the air conditioning until he arrived. Phnom Penh at that time was over
100 degrees with 95% humidity and we were basically sitting in a greenhouse
behind the cockpit windows. When he finally did arrive, we were wringing out our
clothes from the perspiration. He walks out of the air conditioned car, into
the air plane and asks us "Could you guys get the air-conditioning running,
I'm a little
warm?" The other pilot had to physically restrain me from going back there
and picking a fight.
Then we took him into Noi Bai airfield in Hanoi. After we picked him up the
next day (he stayed the night in Vietnam, we stayed in Bangkok) we taxied
out, ran up the engines for take off and noticed that our prop rpm was vibrating
all over the place. We taxied off to the side to look at it, but there was a
good possibility that there was an engine malfunction and the engine may
fail if we took off with it. Well, Mr. Senator sticks his head up in the cockpit
and says "This plane WILL take off, I have a press conference in Bangkok in
three hours!"
(Maybe this is an indication of how he will run the FAA). American service
members lives be damned, we had our Senatorial orders. We ran the engines
again, and did not have the problem, so we took off and made it back. During the
flight, he told everyone how he had taken a Cessna (a small General aviation
plane) up with a fighter pilot, and the fighter pilot remarked that Kerry
was one of the best pilots he had ever seen. I don't know about other pilots
out there,but it's hard to imagine a little, single-engine prop plane pilot
being able to show the "right stuff." After Kerry left the plane, the Navy
Captain came up to us, apologized
and said basically that "he knows Kerry is a jerk" and that we should be
glad we don't have to deal with him every day.
Your choice folks. Elections in November. You want a mega-millionaire
egomaniac it's-all-about-me crew-eating-pizza-ite like Kerry or maybe a Green
Party candidate like Ralph Nader? Or, God forbid, maybe even reelect George
Bush, a strong man of convictions bent on protecting us from terrorist attacks on
US soil?

Well anybody that pays attention to bush knows that he is a Bible believing professing Christian who God placed in the leadership of this country. Don't you think that the war was necessary...or are we supposed to let people just take the freedom that all those men and women who lost their lives in the past away from us?
"HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN"
I hear people saying we don't need this war
I say there's some things worth fighting for
What about our freedom and this piece of ground
We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down
They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in
Before you start your preaching let me ask you this my friend
Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbing for you and me
It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it everyday
Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right
Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
And you can bet that they remember
Just what they're fighting for
Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Some went down like heros in that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All the loved ones that we lost and those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry about bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
If you cant remember what happened....then perhaps you should try to imagine what it would be like to run a whole country...I certainly KNOW that I wouldn't be able to. Bush deserves props....he is morrally correct and you need to remember that no matter who is leadership of the US there will ALWAYS be someone who isn't happy. Too bad...God's in control. ALWAYS HAS BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE.

flight, he told everyone how he had taken a Cessna (a small General aviation
plane) up with a fighter pilot, and the fighter pilot remarked that Kerry
was one of the best pilots he had ever seen. I don't know about other pilots
out there,but it's hard to imagine a little, single-engine prop plane pilot
being able to show the "right stuff." After Kerry left the plane, the Navy
Captain came up to us, apologized
and said basically that "he knows Kerry is a jerk" and that we should be
glad we don't have to deal with him every day.
Your choice folks. Elections in November. You want a mega-millionaire
egomaniac it's-all-about-me crew-eating-pizza-ite like Kerry or maybe a Green
Party candidate like Ralph Nader? Or, God forbid, maybe even reelect George
Bush, a strong man of convictions bent on protecting us from terrorist attacks on
US soil?
crew-eating-pizza-ite!!! lol...

This could be a hoax; even if it was true, it is only an opinion, and isn't a sound reason to not elect someone. He was impatient, ate some pizza, and bragged about his war experience?
crew-eating-pizza-ite...sounds like a new world religion...
