AOL has started sending transcripts of Bush speeches at rallies
I don't recall them doing this until just recently.

Anyone else notice these news "transcripts" suddenly showing up in your mailbox?

I don't recall any Kerry speeches being mailed. What's going on?

Is AOL up to something? It's so sneaky.

5. Complain about electioneering.

Then mention the phrase "illegal in-kind donation" which is exactly the sort of thing the FEC claims to be worrying about online.

6. No way! I checked the news preference thingee and nowhere did I request
Bush speeches. Blech.

Who would do such a wicked thing to me? Maybe because I have voted AGAINST Bush in every aol poll since he stole office?

I will have to get to the bottom of this!

7. I have AOL...still.
And I haven't received anything like this. I doubt it's AOL doing this. Someone trying to make their email address look like an official AOL address maybe?

8. They say AOL News
It's not really an email, it's one of those news stories you get if you fill out the profile. But I checked that. I didn't HAVE any political thing in my profile. I had (embarassing to admit) the royal family, bizarre stories, and scandals. I chose those subjects a long time ago evidently. ???

Anyhow, the Bush speeches don't fall into any of those categories.

I will ask someone at aol.

Remarks by The President at Victory 2004 Rally

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- The following is a transcript of remarks by President Bush at a Victory 2004 Rally in Oshkosh, Wisconsin:

Experimental Aircraft Association Building

Oshkosh, Wisconsin

4:58 P.M. CDT

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all. (Applause.) Okay. It's great to be back in Oshkosh. My only regret is I don't have time to drive by Leon's. (Applause.) Laura and I are thrilled to be here. We're glad to be back in Wisconsin. (Applause.) The enthusiasm in this state is high. With your help -

applause.) With your help, with your hard work, there is no doubt in my mind we will carry Wisconsin on November the 2nd. (Applause.)

I want to -- I am traveling with very good company today. (Applause.) So when I asked Laura to marry me, when I asked her to marry me, she said, okay, I will, just so long as -- so long as I never have to give a speech. (Laughter.) I said, okay, you got a deal. Fortunately, she didn't hold me to the deal. She's giving a lot of speeches. The American people have come to know Laura as a compassionate, warm, great First Lady. (Applause.)

AUDIENCE: Laura! Laura! Laura!

THE PRESIDENT: I know my running mate has been in the neighborhood recently....

12. No only answer polls and email
Who the heck is PRNews? Funny, I must have been gettiong these for awhile. I never really opened them because they were so obviously pro-B*sh. And didn't really think about them either until now.

Funny, I can't get a living human response at aol either.

14. I canceled AOL a month ago
And they ask why are you canceling, I specifically told the person I called to cancel that the reason I am canceling is because AOL is bias, only showing the Republican Agenda on their service.

Funny thing, I had been a member for 9 years almost to the day she told me. HAHA

FU aol.

16. They of all people must know I'm not undecided LOL
I answer everyone of their stupid political polls. That's my problem. They decided to work on me subliminally. Try to turn me into a sleeper Repug!

That is really low, even for aol. They must be experimenting on their members. Good thing I am able to withstand their conditioning.
I really should get a new email address. This is ridiculous.
