Shrub's picture in the mail.
Has anyone received a picture of Mr. and Mrs. Shrub in the mail? I received one the other day with a letter thanking me for a contribution. It was autographed --by stamp-- and addressed personally to me. When I opened this up, all I could do is laugh.

Has anyone else experienced this?

5. Dammit! Another Missed Opportunity...
I would have torn it up, alright; but then I would have sent it back to the White House to show SmirkBoy how I REALLY feel...

...worth the $0.37, I think. :evilgrin:

3. No but...
There is a billboard on Nothwest Hwy in Dallas that has his and the little wifey's mugs on it with a "re-election" message.

Makes me sick every time I drive past it.

4. Nope, but if I did my toilet apper supply would be extended
one extra wipe.

NOTE to OHS: Yes, I said I'd wipe my ass with a picture of the Imperial Master who's ass you kiss! Want to send me one of those pictures to try and entrap me into ThoughtCrime. Then you can send me to Gitmo where I will be introduced to some enforced gay sex acts.

Yes, we KNOW that what you and Your Masters are doing to the Iraqis will one day be done to Free Americans. We KNOW! Don't think we won't respond in some nonviolent way if you try it.

6. Twice now. Is it the one
Edited on Mon May-17-04 04:00 PM by CalamityJane
where they are wearing the matching khaki pants and white blouse outfits? What could be worse than a couple that wears matching outfits?

The letters are addressed to my husband and he said * could torture him in one of his torture prisons before he would give him money and even then he still wouldn't.

8. Send the Envelope back - It costs them money.
I write on the envelope a different note each time. "Bush sucks. I would never vote for a murderer.", etc.

10. We got one
So we stuffed the envelope full of "valuable offers." You know, the kind you get in the mail every day. Including literature from the ACLU, NOW, and an environmental group. Then we sent it back.

The photo is hanging on the fridge. We're still deciding what its fate will be.

It was worth a laugh anyway. :P

11. Yes, we got one too
Dh is apparently a charter member of the Bush campaign, but of course he is not. Dh has never made a political contribution in his life, either with money or time.

Stuff the return envelope.

12. Two of my friends got this!
They definitely DO NOT like bush.

They both make about $200K per year so I was wondering if the bush team sent out the letters to people with a somewhat high income based on looking at the tax returns - the assumption being that the upper middle class and higher support him.

Can anyone who got such a mailing disprove this theory?

13. My husband got one
My first inclination was to tear it up, but I hung it up next to my Clinton puppet and wrote in red ink NO! You're Fired. I plan to put it out for my John Kerry House party.

15. We get them often.
Actually, my husband gets them. They keep telling him that he's given them generous support in the past, which is a load of crap. I've often thought as you do, that they target high incomes. Could be that someone at a former job gave them his name, too.

We never do anything with them. I'm glad that the RNC keeps wasting money this way on people who will never give them a chocolate silver dollar. They're blowing a fortune on color photos, begging letters of several pages, and formal-looking invitations to business leader roundtables. One of the reasons Bush can't quit raising money.

Enjoy drawing on them (horns, boobs, goatee, cheerleader skirt).

16. Well, I guess the more time
bush spends on raising money, the less time he can spend on the presidency - that is probably a good thing. LOL

18. Well,
I am far from being in the upper middle class. I am more like the upper lower class!

14. I really want a scan of this photo!
I don't make enough money to get one (although I did once send a "supportive" email to the shrub through the White House web site) and I'd really like a non-copyrighted photo of Dumbya for photoshopping madness. His signature would be a bonus!

19. I've received 2
Someone is playing a joke on the re:puke:'s.

Let them spend that "war chest" of shrubs. I take them to work and give them to the right wingers that own my company. I just laugh when I hand them the pictures. I told them to put them away since they will be worth money after * gets convicted for war crimes.

That sends them into a "Kill all the brown people" frenzy.

I can't believe idiots like that own a company.....
Of course, they wouldn't if daddy hadn't given it to them.

21. I gave the one my husband received to my boys to draw on...
My husband is a Democrat so I don't know how he got one. I gave it to my boys and they did some great work on it! :evilgrin:
