Mark my words. Every idiot here that is whining and saying they won't vote for Bush will be the biggest whiners from 2005-2009/2013 when Kerry is President.

You have that right! How much do they think Kerry is going to give to the NEA and that will fund obscene art projects. There is no way that Laura Bush is going to be announcing money for the NEA that is going to go to something other then what we would be proud to be associated with. Some of you reactionary types are incapable of thinking and Drudge puts up a headline and you go off on your tangents like a bunch of elementary kids that hear a rumor!

Grow up! NEA is not going to make or break this reelection.

Did any of you bother to go on the site of the NEA and read the grants they have done for this year and for last year?

I doubt it or you wouldn't be making fools of yourselves with your Clinton era NEA grants and trying to paint President Bush and his Administration with the same brush. That is flat out wrong.

I went down every grant for 2004 -- from dance and ballet to writing to radio. We are talking small grants to a lot of companies that wouldn't be able to perform across this great Country if it were not for grants.

Guess to some of you being able to take your child to a ballet, a play, or a symphony means nothing. Well my children were brought up appreciating the arts as well as many other things to make them well rounded children that turn into well rounded adults. I would hate to think because of a bunch of hotheads that this President would lose an election because he and his wife want Americans to experience the different forms of art that has meant so much to this Nation from the time our Country was born.

Sorry that so many of you choose to make fun of various forms of art because the Clintons trashed the NEA for their own selfish use. How many times have you seen condoms on the WH Christmas tree -- never until the Clintons trashed the White House.

The Bush Family believes in reading, arts, sports, and well rounded American citizens. Wish you all did too. This is such a little amount to pay for so much enjoyment to so many people.
