OT, a little something for you liberals Options

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak my mind. I lost my job this past year. When Clinton was president I was secure and prosperous, but in the last year, we had to close our operations. We simply could not compete with foreign labor. This foreign labor worked for low pay under very bad conditions.

They worked very long shifts, and many even died on the job.

This competition could hardly be called "fair." I was forced out of the place where I had worked for 34 years.

Not a single government program was there to help me.

How can Bush call himself "compassionate?" Far worse, I lost two of my sons in Bush's evil war in Iraq. They gave their lives for their country, and for what? So that Bush's oil buddies can get rich. My pain of losing my sons is indescribable.

While it is trivial next to the loss of my sons, I regret to say that I also lost my home. I simply have nothing left. How can Bush call himself a Christian when he neglects people like me? I am a senior citizen with various medical problems. I'm not in a position where I can begin a new career. I was reduced to the point where I had to live in a hole in a ground, all because of President Bush.

And when the authorities found me there, did they have any compassion for my misfortune and ailments? No, I was arrested. Mr. Bush, I dare you to look me in the face and tell me you are a compassionate man! I dare you to look me in the face and tell me you are a Christian. If I had any money left, I would donate it to the Democrat Party.

If Al Gore had been elected in 2000 I would still have a job, a home, and most importantly, my dear sons!

Regards,

Saddam Hussein

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) Yeah, OK, I'll fess up. I live in this here people's republic but most everything about this place sucks (especially the weather). And your right, I'm a transplant. I grew up down yonder on the bayou in New Orleans, attended LSU as an undergrad and the god damn University of Alabama for Law School (this was back in the day when being a lawyer was an honorable profession, a man's word was his bond and other obsolete notions were taught and believed by my generation. Yeah, I'm the red neck described above and damn proud to say I love this country, etc. But why fight over politics? I really don't care what other board members political views are and think we should keep those topics off the board unless we are just trying to piss people off. Man look at the losers I have to accept as my representatives. Thinking every day about moving back down south - at least I could drive the 914 and Boxster any damn time I wanted to. My two cents worth.
