2. My friend usually cuts up Bush's picture and mails it back
so they will have to pay the postage. He has asked to be taken off their list but the pictures and letters still keep coming. He said next time he is going to put some nuts and bolts in the envelope to make it really heavy.

5. Checks for .50 cents. I really did.
I went through a period where I was getting dunned several times a month, for why, I don't know. I started sending them checks for .50 cents.

I figured it was enough to make it worth their time--and yep, they were cashed!

8. I sent them a letter

Informing them that I could not send them any money even if I wanted to, which I don't. I went on to inform them that their economic policies are directly responsible for virtually bankrupting my wife and I, and they would be better served to seek funding at their $2000.00 a plate dinners with the people they really represent, Korporate Amerika.

I also informed them that I sent the little bit of money I was able to scrape together to the party I belong to, the DEMOCRATIC PARTY!!

12. I don't have any money to send
not like I would anyways. What I find amusing is that I have not gotten anything even though I live in CA and am registered non-partisan. One would think they would at least try to win me over.

13. In 2002, I was invited to a White House fundraiser
Seems there is a big GOP booster in Dallas with the same first and last name as me, and they got confused. If I had had the $2500 to waste, i would have attended just to cause a scene. As it was, this was not possible, so I wiped my ass with the invite and sent it in.

Seriously.

14. I send this.
The entire world knows that Bush is the most compulsive and incessant liar in the history of American politics.

Is it true as Bush claims that John McCain has an illegitimate Negro daughter and Bush said he would veto McCain-Feingold and the yawning boy was not there and was not yawning and besides he was standing some place else and Richard Clarke had complete access to Bush and Rice which proves that Clarke was out of the loop which is Clinton's fault but Clarke briefed the press on background about Bush fighting terrorism which means that unnamed White House sources may not be identified even when Bush wants to and everyone except Bush himself knows where he was during his National Guard service but it was Clinton's fault that Bush did not show up for duty which was after he volunteered to go to Viet Nam but before he was no longer required to take a flight physical and about the same time that God ordered Bush to smite Saddam because the 60 lines of embryonic stem cells and more arsenic in the water and more mercury in the air prove that republican science is better than sound science and the Bush administration did not illegally conspire to illegally reveal the identity of a covert CIA operative which resulted in 2 million new jobs being created because democrats support terrorism and are not good Americans just as the Jews were not good Germans which is why Bush said he would veto the creation of both the Department of Homeland Security and the 9/11 Commission but now claims credit for their creation and the White House is cooperating with the 9/11 Commission which is why the White House withheld documents and called the republicans on the Commission before Clarke testified and why the White House is not coordinating the attacks on the integrity and bipartisanship of the Commission since the dental xrays prove that Bush spoke with the CIA director everyday and did not ignore either the repeated warnings of the dangers of al Qaeda and Osama or the August 2001 intelligence briefing specifically warning of the upcoming 9/11 attacks because the United States is a nation with a mission and that mission is to bring freedom to every single person in the world which will cut the deficit in half if you do not count those parts of the deficit which will increase under Bush which is Clinton's fault but the boxes from China were labeled "Made in USA" which resulted in 2.6 million new jobs being created even though the $400 billion decorative Medicare turkey was not labeled $550 billion and was passed without bribery or criminal deception which proves that government spending under Bush has gone down if you do not count the increased government spending under Bush which is Clinton's fault and Bush's plane to Baghdad was spotted because before Saddam bought the uranium and became an urgent but not an imminent threat which is Clinton's fault Bush had no plans on his desk to invade Iraq since the invasion was not planned before Bush took office even though it was the subject of his first national security council meeting and in December 2001 when plans for the invasion were being finalized Bush said he was focused on the military operations in Afghanistan and then the aircraft carrier was too far offshore for the Navy to make a large enough "Mission Accomplished" banner to describe the WMD we have found in Iraq some of which Saddam was giving to Osama for following Saddam's plans and using Iraqi hijackers on 9/11 which is Clinton's fault but everyone who pays income taxes got a tax cut which created 3 million new jobs and allowed Iraqi oil revenue to pay for the cost of the reconstruction of Iraq after the invasion by a small number of troops who would be greeted with floral program related activities except for the dead and wounded troops who are being brought home secretly which is Clinton's fault since Bush is the one who hugs the mothers and the widows and the wives and the kids and since Bush does not watch television news he did not know about the republican torture pranks occurring in Iraq until he saw the pictures on the television news and that is why Bush who will use the jawbone of an ass to force OPEC to open the spigots and who is responsible for good economic numbers but not bad economic numbers which are Clinton's fault wrote the poem that he did not write blaming Laura for dropping the dog?

There is no subject so somber, serious, or shallow that Bush will not lie about it. The only other option is not to lie. And that apparently is something Bush can not do.


FIRE THE LIAR



Sincerely,

Snippy W. Shrub
(the W stands for Whore but for some odd reason Bush thinks it stands for Vacation)

29. I update it from time to time.
The most recent update added the line about the "republican torture pranks" and Bush lying about watching the news. Also. when I send it to republicans I usually change it to the form of a question. I used to print it on the back of a 5x8 postcard and send it to people in the media and Congress, but now it no longer fits.

23. Never got hit up by GOP!
But the NRA sent me a solicitation with a postage paid envelope. Big mistake. I put a heavy brick in a box and taped the return envelope to it. That cost them a couple of bucks.

25. What's the minimum amount where they have to list you as a...
...campaign contributor? There's probably a level below which they really lose money on you.

I also heard a hilarious anecdotal joke, strictly kidding around all in fun mind you, that people were donating to some organization using invalid credit card numbers - which resulted in the organization getting very significant charge-back costs for each one. Ha, ha! What a funny joke and laugh riot that must have been! :D

32. You're lucky, they wont stop sending me crap
The first time I sent them Clark campaign materials. The second time I printed out GW's resume and threw in an ABB button and some Canadian nickels to increase the postage.

This last time they sent me the giant 8x10 photo so I did some nice artwork on it being sure to include a portrait of Master Cheney in the shadows behind them. Then I sent it back with a button that says "Go home little Monkey!"


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3909648909&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1

Next one I get I'm going to scan into photoshop. Maybe use it for a t-shirt and/or work it into my sig or avatar.

28. They won't send me a damn thing...!!
Why not??

Oh, I just return shit they don't want, extra postage!!! I ship like 30 sheets of used paper into those envelopes and low and behold, guess what evil empire has to pay for $1.95 in postage???!!

I suggest you all do the same. Next time a postage pre-paid envelope comes your way, send 30 old sheets of paper!!!
