Bush Appeals to Texas Catholics for Support

WASHINGTON — President Bush is making a fresh appeal to Roman Catholic voters and fattening the GOP's campaign war chest in Texas on Tuesday, the start of three days of campaigning in the nation's midsection.

In Texas, a Republican National Committee (search) fund-raiser awaited Bush in Dallas. The RNC has raised at least $217 million this election cycle and started July with $78 million left. The Democratic National Committee (search) has collected about $125 million and began July with roughly $63 million on hand. Journalists are barred from Tuesday's fund-raiser. Later in Dallas, Bush delivers a speech to the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic men's benefit society.

Aides said Bush's remarks will focus on administration programs that encourage the mentoring of prisoners' children and increase access to recovery programs for drug addicts. Bush also will promote his efforts to expand religious groups' ability to participate in government-funded social service programs.

The president will promote actions he has taken that his advisers think will appeal to Catholic voters: He signed a bill last year that banned the procedure known to doctors as intact dilation and extraction, but called "partial-birth abortion" by abortion rights opponents; in April, he signed into law new protections for the unborn that made it a separate federal crime to harm a fetus during an assault on the mother.

1. This Catholic has one thing to say *
FUCK YOU

If you were drowning I'd throw ya a cinderblock.

(Sorry but this man deserves none of that Catholic universal love after the shit he's pulled over the last 4 years)

2. I'm more suprised he casts a shadow.
The Catholic Church sent a letter out over the weekend announcing their views on feminism. Feminism is bad for the church and society - no women will ever be priests.

It's good stuff for Bush to use in his speeches this week.

4. So the sky god religions are still desperately hanging on to power
despite their influence screwing up the planet mightily.

Cheney you you misogynist bastards. We're reclaiming Goddess power, and there's not a damn thing you can do to stop it.

3. Bush represents nothing Jesus spoke about
Peace, humility, helping everyone regardless of who they are, standing up for women and minorities in society, Bush does none of this. Any Catholic who has been turned against the Democrats because of abortion Ingres the serious problems at hand.

Maybe they photoshopped it in. Vampires usually don't cast shadows.

Edited to say: Somebody else posted the same thing at the same time! Sorry for the dupe!

He radiates hatred and dishonesty.
