Michael Moore will be attending the RNC in New York next week as a columnist for USA Today and he posted an open letter to President Bush on his website. No response from the White House has been received. The link is below.

I would like to see the security people stop him and not allow him in because he is a nation security threat. If you make a horrible movie about the President, you think you will be allowed near him?

Maybe he'll choke on 10lbs of shrimp, or the secret service agents will be forced to put him down for foaming and drooling on the carpet.

Swiftboat, Swiftboat, Swiftboat, Swiftboat, Swiftboat, Swiftboat, Swiftboat.

I guess gay marriage didn't turn out to be the distraction the bush campaign needed after all. Remember, in November, it's all about Swiftboat, Swiftboat, Swiftboat, Swiftboat, Swiftboat, Swiftboat.

I'm a little bugged that MM has fallen into the trap, but he makes some pretty good points. I'm sure he'll bring readers to USA Todayy as well, where they can learn about Swiftboat, Swiftboat, Swiftboat, Swiftboat, Swiftboat, Swiftboat, Swiftboat.

"Then throw this one at him: "Senator Kerry, over 58,000 brave Americans gave their lives in Vietnam -- but YOU didn't. You only got WOUNDED! What do you have to say for yourself???" Lay that one on him and he won't know what to do."

Kerry's piece of shrapnel is so big that not only is he totally impaired by it but it created a hole in his leg big enough to drive a Swift Boat through

Once again, Michael Moore proves his ignorance and lack of logic. Perhaps one day he'll mature, get an education, and do something meaningful and productive. Until then, we'll be subjected to his fifteen minutes of fame, of which I am hoping only two minutes remain.

Have fun... Tony.

Well I suspect the sooner Bush is voted out of office the sooner you'll see the end of Michael Moore.

(ps. you signature - the have fun thing - what is it all about?)

voodoo!

Probably not. Michael Moore does have moments of brilliance in his movies, such as the handling the 9/11 events in "Fahrenheit 911" or just the entire premise of "Roger & Me". I do not think that his career depends on who is in office.

The "Have fun..." thing is my sign-off. It is not said or meant sarcastically. I sincerely mean it. Have fun!

Have fun... Tony.

Objectively:

Mm is very immature and lacking in the kind of tact that it would take to convince ME to take him seriously.
Being in debt and celebrating a lower deficit is like being on a diet and celebrating the fact you gained two pounds this week instead of five.

How many people could be fed if Bush were to sell all his possessions?

How much money have Americans spent for Bush already?

And how about the returns? See any benefits yet?

Edit: I added "Bush" to my text.. Now it makes more sense.

Cowards like Clinton felt it was more important to be consistent (he opposed the war, thus he refused to go) than to be patriotic and two-faced.



Not that I'm particularly fond of the president-Clinton (no better than others), but the concept is that those who don't agree with forced war should actively desert, and thus also be ready to defend themselves against the madness that sold-out, mummified politicians would like to impose on them.

Personally, if there should be some thirld world war or similar, I'd rather go to jail (and try to abolish jails, subsequently) than sell myself to the "warlords" (or whatever one might call them)...

The freedom of all is essential to my freedom. - Mikhail Bakunin

Speaking as a liberal, I can say that as crazy as Michael Moore is, he raises good points, needed controversy, and has a right to do so. Listen to the man if you want, don't if you don't. Just do your own research on your candidate instead of basing your beliefs on other peoples opinions. Don't vote for the candidate who would better your life, vote for the candidate who would better the United States, after all they are running for The President of The United States, not the President of Joe Schmoe.
I can't wait until November because I am getting so sick of all this political mudslinging. It's disgusting that candidates have to advertise their opponents weaknesses instead of their own strenghts in order to campaign.
Happy voting!

Bin Laden has been hiding in a hole - like most terrorists tend to do, lately.

He has as much freedom of movement as anybody else with a $10 million bounty on his head.

I'd say he's been *smacked down* to a substantial degree. Nobody is certain that he's even alive.

I don't think Bin Laden is the primary focus of Dubya's attention.

But, rest assured, Bin Laden's body will surface towards the end of September.

If we found out Bin Laden was hiding and being protected by some country, I bet the Leftie wackos would be against us going in there and invading or bombing the crap out of them.

Well, technically it's his WIFE that's so wealthy... and I do believe that Perot was quite a bit "fatter in the purse" than even she (he = Billionaire, she = Millionaire).

Edit: THOUGH, the Kerrys are quite a bit wealthier than the Bushes.
