DES MOINES, Iowa -- Below is an excerpt of President George W. Bush's speech in Des Moines on Oct. 4. It references Michael Hintz, a Des Moines youth pastor who was charged with sexual exploitation by a counselor. (Read complete story.)

President George W. Bush recognized Michael Hintz and his family during a Des Moines campaign event in October.


"One of those families is the Hintz family, from Clive, Iowa. Thank you all for coming. (Applause.)


"It's a special day for Mike and Sharla, not because they're with the President or with Chairman Grassley, but because it's their 13th wedding anniversary. (Applause.) Theirs is a typical story. See, last year they received a child tax credit check for $1,600 for their four children. And under all the tax relief we've passed, they saved about $2,800 last year. With this extra money they bought a wood-burning stove to reduce their home heating costs. They made a decision for their family.

"They also made home repairs and improvements. They took the family on a vacation to Minnesota. Next year when you get your check, you may want to come to Texas. (Laughter.) Without the tax bill I'm signing today, the Hintzes would have paid $1,200 more in federal taxes next year. Think about that. Here's a family of four, working hard to raise their kids, the money would have been going out of their pocket. I believe they can spend that $1,200 better than the federal government can." (Applause.)

2. Again?

This isn't the first time that Gee Dumbass has acknowledged a guest at one of his invitation-only events, who has ended up in the news for less-than-family-friendly (or more than???) reasons.

Is anybody keeping track of these?

4. This is horrible. More conservative christians who beat & molest kids.

I know so many christians who beat or molest kids....either their own, or others.

It goes so well with the republican ideals of screwing the weak in society.

5. Well, once you are "God's Chosen", then you must feel like

everyone else is just there for your use. Or something. I don't understand how religious people think, but a lot of them seem pretty damn twisted. Especially these fine folks from my old home town:
