PUKE ALERT: E-Mail Message From Pretzelboy
Someone where I work registered my e-mail address with www.georgewbush.com. While I'm waiting for the company to finish their investigation, I'm keeping the account active, so we can spy on our enemies.

Here's the latest piece of crap they're sending out:

* * * * *

Dear Wayne,

As I write, there are 96 days until an historic election, and the campaigns are hitting full-swing. In recent days, I've been in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Iowa and Missouri. Everywhere I go, the crowds are big, the enthusiasm is high, the signs are good -- we are on our way to victory.

My opponent has been spending some time with his base as well -- most recently, he attended a gala with his Hollywood friends. Evidently, things got a little out of hand. My name came up a few times. And now the Senator refuses to release a tape of that whole enchanted evening. Could be that his friends, whom he said conveyed the "heart and soul of America," actually embarrassed themselves and the candidate.

I'm glad to count you -- the real "Heart and Soul of America" -- among my friends. I'm hoping you'll help me out again in these final days with a contribution of $1000, $500, $250, $100, or even $50.

It's now been three and a half years since the Vice President and I took office. We've faced significant challenges. We have met them head-on. We are moving America forward and because of our actions, America is becoming a safer, stronger and better country.

Four years ago, our economy was headed into recession, and the stock market was in decline. So we passed historic tax relief for families and small businesses. Because we acted, our economy since last summer has been growing at the fastest rate in nearly 20 years.

www.GeorgeWBush.com/HeartandSoul

We are keeping our promises, we are doing our duty. Because of our actions, our economy is stronger, our schools are better, our country is safer. We have turned a corner, and there's no turning back.

I believe government should never try to control or dominate the lives of our citizens. Yet government can and should help citizens gain the tools to make their own choices and to improve their own lives. There is no greater force for good in this world than the energy of free people.

My opponent has a very different agenda. He has spent almost 20 years in the federal government, and he's concluded that it just isn't big enough. He proposed nearly $2 trillion in additional federal spending, and we're just getting started. But he hasn't told us how he plans to pay for it all. I think we can guess. He has a history of voting to raise taxes. But we're going to make it clear to him that would be the wrong medicine for America's improving economy.

He and his running mate consistently oppose reforms that limit the power of Washington and place trust in the individual. They share the same old Washington mindset -- they will give the orders and you pay the bills. But we've gone beyond that way of thinking, and we're not going back.

www.GeorgeWBush.com/HeartandSoul

America's future also depends on our willingness to lead in the world. On a September morning, the world changed. And since that day, we have changed the world. Today, two-thirds of al Qaeda's known leaders have been captured or killed, and America and the world are safer.

Before September the 11th, the security of the American homeland was in grave danger. Our government was not organized to meet the new threat. We transformed our defenses; we created a new Department of Homeland Security. Because of the vigilance of many dedicated professionals in intelligence, national security, homeland security and law enforcement, America is safer.

We still have important and difficult work to do. You can't talk sense to the terrorists. You cannot negotiate with terrorists. We must engage these enemies in Afghanistan and Iraq and around the world so we do not have to face them here at home.

www.GeorgeWBush.com/HeartandSoul

Over the next four years we will continue to defend our homeland, we'll continue to defeat the terrorists abroad. Yet, in the long run, our safety requires something more. We must work to change the conditions that give rise to terror in the Middle East: the poverty, and the hopelessness, and the resentments that terrorists too often exploit.

Life in that region will be far more hopeful and peaceful when men and women can choose their own leaders, when the people can decide their own future. A free and peaceful Iraq, a free and peaceful Afghanistan will be powerful examples to their neighbors. Free countries do not export terror. Free countries do not stifle the dreams of their citizens. By serving the ideal of liberty, we are bringing hope to others, and that makes America more secure.

By serving the ideal of liberty, we also serve the deepest ideals of our country. Freedom is not America's gift to the world; freedom is the Almighty God's gift to each man and woman in this world.

For all Americans, these years in our history will always stand apart. There are quiet times in the life of a nation when little is expected of the leaders; this isn't one of those times. None of us will ever forget that week when one era ended and another began. On September the 14th, 2001, I stood in the ruins of the Twin Towers. It's a day I'll never forget. There were workers in hard-hats yelling at me, "Whatever it takes."

As our convention draws near, what it will take is your support -- to make one last effort, to make one last contribution to ensure we have the resources to win this election, and continue the good work we have done.

Sincerely,

(Folled by a childish scribble which must be Pretzelboy's signature)

4. "Heart and Soul"

Dig at Kerry for saying that Whoopi and others were the "heart and soul of America"

Best dig: Kerry---"John Kerry reporting for duty!"

5. can the real heart and soul of America afford $1,000 donation?
I mean, I am backing Kerry but my funds are limited so I donate my time.....I think most Americans are in the same boat I'm in.

6. I can't believe they're STILL on that fundraiser.
I just have to shake my head at that one. If all they have is Whoopi, and almost a month after the fact, that just shows how desperate they are. They're definitely grasping at straws. Which makes me VERY happy. :-)

Thanks for the recon, CO Liberal! :-)

8. "...or even $50"...
Hell, we'll take food stamps, unused Safeway coupon books, and if you're not gonna play with that toy from your Happy Meal, I'd kinda like that too.

Chris Matthews said it best, when he swooned over the photo of Bush in the flight suit: "Ladies love him because he's so presidential."
