Probably One of the Most Vicious Anti-Bush Letters You'll Ever Read
Lewiston Sun-Journal ^ | May 12, 2003 | Paul Macri

Hail to the great hyprocrite

Paul F. Macri, Auburn, Maine

President Bush is a great American, a great American hypocrite, that is.

My stomach turned last Thursday night as Bush’s jet landed on the USS Abraham Lincoln and America saw him in a flight suit for the first time since he went AWOL from the Texas National Guard more than 30 years ago.

Don’t those cheering sailors — who truly are brave and did serve their country — know that Dubya conveniently sat out the Vietnam War, not as a protester or Rhodes Scholar, but with a rich boy’s “in” to the National Guard? And he couldn’t even hack that for the length of his sign-up, so he went AWOL his last year to run a Republican campaign in Alabama.

He was never punished, as a regular soldier would have been, and even got an “honorable” discharge.

Karl Rove knows that you can’t lose by underestimating the intelligence of the American voter, so I’m sure we’ll be seeing these pictures soon in campaign ads.

Bush was “unelected” in 2000. Shame on him.

If he’s “unelected” again in 2004, shame on us for having an economic, political and class double standard.

All is forgiven if you went to Yale and then pretended that you were in the military — if your father is a rich Republican and former president of the United States.

Beware being a smart boy from Tennessee who went to Vietnam or a Rhodes Scholar (a true intellectual achievement) from Arkansas. Oh, and also a Democrat.

This isn't so bad as Bush haters go. These are all the standard talking points from DU and the like. Ignore them and they'll turn back into mice soon enough.

The Democrats still can't get over the fact they lost the mid-term elections and they're still mewling like babies. Oh with a mindset like this, 2004 is a cakewalk. I pray they don't wake up.

Yeah, with 6 BODY GUARDS provided by his segregationist senator father. The SAME smart boy who reveled in the defeat of the military vote. Does a man proud, don't it?

Man I hope not. Keeping the left talking is the best campaign strategy the White House could ever devise. Cheapest too.

The Dems played in a fixed game for over 30 years. They are now acting like bullies who have to face the crowd alone....

The strength of the conservative cause has resulted in a victory in thier 30 year uphill struggle. Strengthened by the struggle and now holding the high ground all the Dems can do is bluster. Where the Republicans shock and awe the Dems bluff and whine.

I kind of actually enjoy what seems to be happening to the opposition. The rest of the country has moved on while this nasal whining 15% of the nation is bound and determined to stay put in 2000. I think this is great news for the Republicans for 2004. While the President and other candidates will be talking about substantial issues, these losers will continue to whine about last year's World Series. By whining over 2000 they are implictly accusing all of us of living under an unsound system. We do not want to hear that, because it ain't true. Just like the embedded reports from Iraq put the lie to the editorially filtered news of the major networks, this country simply has not self-destructed because of the 2000 elections. We're just fine. The plan (of our forefathers) worked just fine.

And even if you don't like Bush, most people are willing to let the game play out. These pathetic creatures are creating more converts by their behavior than our side could do with $100M of evil soft corporate money. They just do not get it, and I for one hope they never do. Keep up the good work, you beautiful whining whimps!

so he went AWOL his last year to run a Republican campaign in Alabama.

According to Tony Snow, Bush was never AWOL. His unit never saw combat. This is a typical falsity the libs like to spread.

"Beware being a smart boy from Tennessee who went to Vietnam"

I do believe that Al failed law school and divinity school. He failed God. How much worse can it get than that? And Bill Clintion, did he not dodge the draft. He left those facts out.
