Powerful letter to Bush from mother whose daughter died on 9/11

http://www.smirkingchimp.com

By Donna Marsh O'Connor

cc: Senator John Kerry

Sometimes, Mr. Bush, it's the smallest of details that makes everything click. The smallest of details. Right now, Mr. Bush, I am looking at your watch. It's an item of clothing accessory and, unlike your other costumes, it is one that is particularly revealing.

snip

Right now there is a report from the C.I.A. that names explicitly your administration's culpability regarding those events. Bipartisan leaders have requested, even demanded that those reports be turned over now to congress. You, according to reports, have refused to allow the C.I.A. to release them, just as you refused to testify under oath before the 9/11 commission. Now, Mr. Bush, release them. Before the election.

Right now, Mr. Bush, there are wide-spread rumors of vote tampering all over this country. And let me be clear about this: the rumors are that Republicans are benefiting from this tampering. Instead of enumerating our safeties, perhaps you could show some leadership, Mr. Bush, and demand that it stop now. Demand, Mr. Bush, that in this country our right to vote is protected. Because without that, we are not safe. Wouldn't you agree?

continued.

2. I wonder if Barbara Bush's BEAUTIFUL MIND will let her read this...
...oh, I doubt it.

The whole Bush Family is so evil, they make the Sopranos look like the Partridge Family!

6.  and a lot of people admire and like that sociopathic bitch
I CAN'T STAND HER. Yes, that entire family is evil. It's like I always say: sick kids, take a look at the parents.

3. Grrrr
I can feel that mother's rage. I hope the 9/11 survivors don't forget to vote * out.

4. This Grieving Mother Says It ALL
And one point she makes above all others speaks to the kind of person GWB is and how little he cares about this country:

Right now, Mr. Bush, there are wide-spread rumors of vote tampering all over this country. And let me be clear about this: the rumors are that Republicans are benefiting from this tampering. Instead of enumerating our safeties, perhaps you could show some leadership, Mr. Bush, and demand that it stop now. Demand, Mr. Bush, that in this country our right to vote is protected.
