This Bush fighter pilot doll pisses me off
First, Bush used the carrier as the backdrop for his campaign. He will probably use it for a commercial next year. Now, to top off the disgrace, BBI made a doll to commemorate Bush's fighter jet stunt. Bush used the plight of our young troops to improve his approval rating and now BBI is using the plight of our young troops indirectly to make money. President Bush and BBI, you should both be ashamed. You are disgraceful.

2. Don't tell us
Tell the company that's marketing the little plastic doll with the empty head:

Republican National Committee
310 First Street, SE
Washington, DC 20003

8. Bad logic...
....if we 'bought them out' then they would be thought of as a success and the marketers would make the money that they wanted to with them. The best thing is to NOT BUY THEM.

5. Cheer up Buckeroo
Imagine that landing being used as a commercial for the democratic candidate. This veteran ain't buying rovebush bullshit. In the hands of James Carville, that video could be worth millions of votes to the democratic nominee. A deserter, lying and getting our kids killed and the killings continue adinfinitum as the fake patriot makes a bravado stunt that only pisses off true patriots. Imagine.

10. The democrats have got to steal the Carrier Costume Party issue.
They need ads running as soon as possible using pictures from the Carrier Costume Party which make Bush look bad. (There was one picture of him in helmet and goggles which was goofy looking which I can not find now.) The ads should have Bush's nose growing as a partial list of Bush lies about the invasion of Iraq are quoted. The ads should point out that Bush wore aviator's wings which he did not earn. The ads also should mention the cost of the Carrier Costume Party and the 450 billion dollar federal deficit.

Bush is seen as stronger than the democrats on national security issues by most people. Ridicule is a more effective weapon than facts to reach the majority of Americans who do not follow politics. If Bush is seen as a ridiculous liar by those people, he is done unless the economy recovers strongly.

The ads should end with this picture:

12. Perhaps we could arrange to have the * doll
caught in a compromising position with Barbie. Or, have the Barbie's pregnant friend doll claim the * is the father of her love child.

14. Is it Mattel that is putting out these dolls?
Because if it is, if you have children or grandchildren or any children you buy toys for don't buy Mattel Toys or whatever company it is that manufactures them. Also write them and let them know you are disgusted that they would make a military hero doll about a man who was AWOL during his military stint and you will never buy their brand again.

16. Bush is a total disgrace to our country and should be a total
insult to any veteran. It's unbelieveable any veteran would vote for the AWOL asshole. My husband is a Vietnam Veteran and it pisses me off knowing my husband had his life on the line in Vietnam while chicken little was running from his duties here in the USA. Somehow we HAVE to get rid of this no good for nothing, lying, thieving, phoney SOB.

18. The abomination claims he is a "NAVAL Aviator"
Last time I looked, Bush was AWOL from the Texas Air National Guard, not the Navy. Every true Naval Aviator, from the Top Guns on down, including every Officer and Gentleman, ought to be screaming about this. Of course, they WON'T.

This is a typical Pukelican lie: "NAVAL AVIATOR". My big red ass!!

19. Don't know whose idea this was, but it's GOT TO backfire.
This thing is just too stupid for words. It's cartoonish. It's a caricature. It's just BIZARRE. It makes the POTUS a laughingstock to the world. Can the Pukes really be for this? Or is this just a case of corporate buckraking run amok?
