*Vanity*Bush Voter Says He's Sorry

I am a Bush voter. I’ve supported Bush since the start of his term. However, I feel as though I need to apologize for his policies.

I’m sorry for those of you who thought you were screwed over during the 2000 election. We should have made more efforts to count only the Democratic-leaning counties of Florida to ensure who really won the state of Florida.

I am also sorry for the events that happened on 9/11. Bush shouldn’t have looked in a state of shock while hearing the news about the plane hitting the towers, for political leaders should show no emotion.

I’m sorry he led us to war in Afghanistan instead of apologizing to the Muslim Radicals. We all know war solves nothing and kills a lot of people. Just ask all those poor people that lost their lives in Dresden, South Korea, Kuwait City and Kosovo. If it wasn’t for war, they would be alive.

I’m sorry that he led us into another war against a tricky dictator that was famous for leading inspectors into wild goose chases during WMD inspections. We all know that the dictator doesn’t have any WMD’s. After all, we gave him a 4 month warning, so I’m sure he got rid of his WMD’s in time. Or maybe he didn’t have any in the first place, and all of his equipment for making chemical weapons was for show.

I’m also sorry for his tax cuts. Without tax cuts, we’d be able to spread the wealth around better. The Rich, being people of ample money, can afford to give their money away. It’s not like it’s doing anything anyways. All they’ll do with that money is spend it at Bed, Bath and Beyond and Radio Shack, in turn, the bosses at Bed, Bath And Beyond and Radio Shack will just use the money to get more employees and try to get richer. That is typical voodoo economics.

I am also sorry that our president can’t forecast hurricanes properly. He’s the head of government. He should be the first to speak to NOAA about the latest weather predictions. I am also sorry that he couldn’t evacuate all of New Orleans time, saving all of those lives. He should have packed everybody on school busses. He should have informed the country about the concept of federalism before the Hurricane hit.

I’m also sorry that he cannot control illegal immigration. He should go over to Mexico and demand that Mexico abandon their neo-serfdom economic system, where 27 rich white families and make their economic system more democratic. That way, a young Mexican would feel as though they have a future in Mexico and have no need to come to America, thereby eliminating illegal immigration to a trickle.

I am also sorry that he can’t export all of the Mexicans that illegally crossed back to Mexico. Exporting 12 million people to a country that clearly says they don’t want them back wouldn’t be too much for our president. It’s not like we’re stuck with them.

And I am finally sorry for voting in a white Christian Republican, because we all know that White Christian Republicans are the most racist people on earth. He could do nothing right.

P.S. I am not sorry for all the social spending he’s done, because we all know that throwing money to people is the best thing a government can do. I’m also not sorry about his inviting of illegal aliens to come across the border by encouraging them to be day laborers. We need as many new Americans as possible, especially those that show how our archaic system of immigration control simply is outdated.

I’m also sorry that he cannot control illegal immigration

I'm sorry that he has nothing about enforcement.
I'm Sorry that he lets Mexico have so much money transferred.
I'm sorry that he prevented the INS from arresting illegals in California.
I'm sorry that he has encouraged illegals to come at every turn.
I'm sorry that he sang the national anthem in Spanish and then said it should be in English later.
I'm really sorry that he is giving amnesty to millions of illegals.
I'm sorry he won't repay the people in my state, California, for their ruined hospitals, school system, and prison system, while taking the citizen's tax dollars.

I bet I am more sorry than you.

I'm sorry too.

But I am not sorry that I did precinct walks for Bush in order to keep JF'n and crazy Gore out

I'm sorry that I had to change employers of 15 years after having the position that I feel I deserved was given to 2 former illegal aliens instead in order to to please OTA(other than American) customers

I'm sorry that so much blood was spilled by our brave soldiers to defend our freedoms, our constitution, while pork belly politicians sqaunder it away and corrupt judges pervert the constitution

I am so sorry about the Socialist Security shell game....

But like the hurricanes, you can't blame all this on Bush

Thank God for GW....

I considered the alternative and count my blessings even though sometimes I feel I am riding a bird with two lefts wings spiraling into destruction

Administration Is Singing More Than One Tune on Spanish Version of Anthem

President Bush declared last week that the national anthem should be sung in English not Spanish, but he evidently never told his own government or campaign organizations.

The State Department posts four Spanish versions of "The Star-Spangled Banner" on its Web site, and accounts from the 2000 election suggest that the song was at times performed in Spanish at Bush campaign events. Critics even turned up one reference to Bush himself singing the anthem in Spanish on the trail, but there was no confirmation.

. The furor over a newly released Spanish version of the anthem has underscored once again the power of symbols in American politics. At a time when the immigration debate in Washington has divided Republicans on Capitol Hill, drawn hundreds of thousands of protesters into the streets and triggered a nationwide boycott, all sides are scrutinizing the words and records of the president and other politicians for signs of inconsistency.

Bush waded into the matter last week after British producer Adam Kidron issued " Nuestro Himno ." Responding to a reporter, Bush said: "I think the national anthem ought to be sung in English. And I think people who want to be a citizen of this country ought to learn English, and they ought to learn to sing the national anthem in English."

But Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice chose not to repeat his formulation Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation." "I've heard the national anthem done in rap versions, country versions, classical versions," she said. "The individualization of the American national anthem is quite underway."

And there seems little evidence that the matter had concerned Bush before. The Center for American Progress, a liberal group run by Clinton chief of staff John D. Podesta, posted on its blog a reference to Bush singing the anthem in Spanish. In his book, "American Dynasty," Kevin Phillips wrote that Bush "would drop in at Hispanic festivals and parties, sometimes joining in singing 'The Star-Spangled Banner' in Spanish, sometimes partying with a 'Viva Bush' mariachi band flown in from Texas."

White House spokesmen and former campaign operatives said they could not recall whether that happened, though given the level of Bush's Spanish proficiency, they seemed dubious.

"Honestly, I don't remember him ever singing the national anthem in Spanish," said Leonard Rodriguez, who was national director of Hispanic Coalition for Bush/Cheney 2000. "I can't see any of his advisers recommending it." But he added: "They may have played it. That's certainly in the realm of possibility." And Rodriguez said he does not recall Bush ever objecting to it.

The Center for American Progress also cited a news report that the anthem was performed in Spanish by singer Jon Secada at a 2001 inauguration event, but Bush aides and most news accounts said he actually sang a Spanish version of "America the Beautiful."

Secada later performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the White House, in May 2001, but in English, according to the White House.
