Bush is too dumb to do this. Must be a mistake.

She got her panties in a bunch over her "family" legacy and got Texas history WRONG. She showed herself to be another brain dead Democrat voter.

When someone's name becomes a part of the language, I don't think that descendent's are given the option of bitching about it. Do the McCarthy's get to deride every communist that impugns the family name?

She doesn't even carry the name "Maverick" these days.

If this had remained in San Antonio I might have let it slide but Houston's only daily paper saw fit to print such trash (as well as other examples I posted today). Since I know that "letters to the editor" will wind up filed in File 13 (the round file that sits on the floor), I take my response elsewhere.

But just maybe Bush called the third group Mavericks because he may have liked the old TV Western "Maverick" with James Garner

Great. Now someone in Hollywood will sue the Bush Campaign for copyright violation.

"JAN JARBOE RUSSELL"

Dear Jan,

Have you gotten the producers of "Top Gun" to change the "call sign" ('Maverick') of the main character in the movie yet?


I don't even remember what Tom Cruise's name was in the movie; all I remember are 'Maverick' and 'Goose'.

'bout what I'd expect from a ut grad.

Does this guy think that using the word Maverick really has some connection to Maury Maverick the late crusading Liberal? I don't think so!!!

Ditto-Bump. But dont'cha know, these people think everything revolves around THEM and their narcisstic ideas?

"Gimmick"? Oh, it's okay for the illegal methods being used by the Democrats. We are war, people -- and I'm not talking about Al Qaeda, Iraq or Afghanistan. It's a major cultural and political war here at home about the survival of America.

The country may be going broke, but in just nine months President Bush has amassed more than $175 million to spend on his re-election...

And just what do they think is going to happen to this money? Do they think that Bush is going to pocket it?

This money goes back to the media in the form of ad buys on radio, television, and newspapers.

In my opinion, that is why we will never see real campaign finance reform -- because the campaigns are financing "Big Media" every two years for hot Senate seats, and every four years for presidential elections.

+++Bush has been so successful is that he has a good gimmick++++

President Bush does not have a gimmick. He is plainly successful. When you are tthat good, it must be hard to be humble.

"in just nine months President Bush has amassed more than $175 million to spend on his re-election"

And he's going to need every penny of it and more. He's up against the most ruthless, relentless, intense propaganda campaign since the Third Reich, conducted nonstop not only by the Democrat Party but also by the Mainstream Newsmedia, which serves as a Democrat Propaganeda Machine.

The recent "investigation" by the 9/11 Commission and the disgusting attacks on Dr. Rice by partisan Democrats are an example.

More is to come. Expect the worst, the most dishonest, the most dishonorable, and the most audacious.

"Audacity is 90% of the battle!"
~Karl Marx~

What is more audacious than accusing President Bush of being soft on terrorism?

What is more audacious than accusing Dr. Rice of lying?

Nothing.

These people will stop at nothing in their attempt to seize power.

It is no accident that they are following the lead of Karl Marx.

She should be ashamed to have white ancestors who lived in this area before Texas became a state (actually before the Civil War was over, even). After all, the only reason those white guys fought was to keep slavery (according to some lefties in The Alamso movie talkback at Ain't It Cool News http://www.aintitcoolnews.com/tb_display.cgi?id=17326#751537)

I don't know how she can live with all the liberal guilt that must have overwhelmed her making this admission.

The whole thing is playing out just as they planned in Memogate 1's leaked memos.

I guess "that slut Jan" forgot to mention the billion or so in free media slams on Bush that Kerry's getting from his pals in TV, newspapers and Hollywood.
