Subject: You will pay upkeep/Secret Service for 5 Kerry mansions.
It is good to be John F. Kerry....... The F stands for Forbes in case you ever wondered. (I didn't know that either. He is one of the richest Senators in Government. When someone is elected president, it means the Secret Service has to protect the President and his family as well as his property. The Kerry's have five US properties not counting the several foreign properties they own too. The cost to run these homes are more than what the average American could afford, even if the rent was free, and all you had to pay the water, gas &electric. Including ground keepers, maintenance, pool, and house keepers.
To be President would require the taxpayers to pay for all that now if elected. Including a complete staffed Secret Service security 24 hours a day. In addition to that we will have to pay for each of their homes for security improvements even if they never go to them all, that is, that just in case. Who do you think will pay for all this? We Pay! This takes all the expense off Kerry and puts it on us.
Nevertheless, factor another major cost to Americans that Kerry does not want you to know about. Becoming president would automatically include taking care of all their properties with Secret Service Agents that includes 5 agents per 6 hour shift 4 times a day 365 days of the year for the rest of their lives so long as they own those properties. It comes with being President, once you are elected. It requires us the taxpayers, to pay for this as well as his annual salary, as well as his retirements including the cost of living adjustments to boot, plus salaries and protection for all their real estate property, plus Secret Service Agents, and pay the bills for the rest of his life. In addition, feed the Secret Service Agents and rotate new ones every
6 hours for the rest of his life.
Do the math. Five properties need to be protected. This requires five Secret Service Agents per shift, daily every six hours, per property! That is 20 Secret Service Agents per day per property everyday including Holidays. Wow, what does that cost? Lets say an average of 20 agents per property, each earning a about $60K per agent to survey the perimeters and protect. Now times that by five properties so far. That is if the Kerrys do not buy any more properties afterwards. This also includes the Agents vehicles and repairs, gas, meals, days off, paid vacation, and medical plan visits etc per agent.
Who pays? YOU pay, the whole time they are alive after becoming President! Is this the best use of our tax money electing Kerry to take care of all their properties, both foreign and domestic? On the other hand, shouldn't he pay for his own? Yet, the Presidential salary could not afford it.
The more I think about paying for Kerrys properties everyday, just makes me happy keeping President Bush all the more merrier. Without raising taxes to boot. How on earth would Kerry pay for everyone to have Healthcare, increase our military, and have us pay to protect his investments, all without raising our taxes? Tax and spend Kerry is his party motto. Which really has to make you wonder why anyone with his wealth, would take a salary of that of a U.S. Senator, never mind wanna be President? Do you believe now why he needs to be the Prez? To serve the people? On the other hand, the people serve Him and his wife!
Please pass the Mustard and do America a favor and pass this to your friends, lets keep Bush a resident in the White House, and not have to protect another Kerry house.

LOL!
Looks like Mt. St. Helen is getting ready to blow some
Put on FNC
When I left for work this morning the mountain had not gone 'boom' yet.
The volcano cam is stuck at 9:44 - which is the beginning of a good one. Dang... no TV reception today.
They replaced the SEP siesmic sensor with a GPS unit.
Cuirrently watching FNC, they have a USGS press briefing at the moment.
kitty reminds me of my beloved Missie who just a year ago was found to have cancer..she died two months later and we still miss her a great deal.
Kitty in the basket is a beauty.
Keep me apprised.
FOFLOL. I'm expecting Cheney vs Edwards to be the classic cat vs mouse match. Afterwhich the wise and serene Cheney the cat, smiles, licks his whickers and then quietly coughs up the small, mousey-brown Edwards the mouse, hairball.
Lord have mercy...I just heard the local weather man calling for a nip of frost tonight.
I cannot bear it, I tell you, I simply cannot bear it!
Well, there ya go, thats part of Kerry's history and one of his biggest problems today. He was never a BMOC. From his earliest days in boarding school through Yale he was the campus wannabe. He is an awkward and graceless dork who fancies himself an athlete but his former classmates say he was always more interested him getting personal attention rather than in the team's performance.
That "Live Strong" yellow bracelet is from the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Kerry suddenly started wearing it about 2 or 3 days before the Tour de France finish this year, when it was clear that Lance would have a 6th straight victory. It seemed a pretty transparent attempt to steal a little bit of thunder from Lance. Terrraaaaayzuh also wears one on occasion. You can buy them online from Armstrong's website for $10.00 each.
I thought you might enjoy sumpin handsome at the end of a long day :)
That all is simply ridiculous - the man who would be king. Thanks for explaining ... our real man wears a lapel American flag; the Commie traitor wears some woosie girl yellow tag.
FOFLOL. My pleasure. :)
Our real man has a lovely family, too.
Edwards hasn't protested on Kerry's sudden stops to practice that.
