Stingy Bush cuts student grants
A couple of days before the night before Christmas, thousands of the nation's college students found someone left a big lump of coal in their backpacks.

Just call him President Scrooge.

Yes, for a man who likes to call himself an education president, it didn't take President Bush long to break one of his proudest education promises. As recently as his final debate with Sen. John Kerry, the president promised to "continue to expand Pell grants to make sure that people have an opportunity to start their career with a college diploma."

That sounded great. I like to hear presidents talk about improving educational opportunities.

3. How else is he gonna force kids into the army?
Edited on Fri Dec-31-04 09:48 AM by The Zanti Regent
His TV Preacher pals brainwashed my son.

His lying Media whore friends brainwashed my son.

His budget cuts (and Arnold's) made it impossible for my only child to go to college.

So my only child goes in the army, is told by the slavemaster, er, recruiter that Bush will pay for his college if he kills CENSORED for Jesus and my son goes.

Then my son gets a bukket that cuts his spinal cord and leaves him in agony for months.

Then he dies at Thanksgiving.

Fuck you Bush. I want out of Jesusland.

Bush killed my son and left me with nothing.
