Edited on Wed May-14-08 08:12 AM by burythehatchet
what sacrifice have YOU made?

And don't tell me you went shopping because you know that's not a real sacrifice.

How has George Bush inspired you to contribute to the war effort?

1. I've been speaking out about veterans issues, homelessness, PTSD, TBI, suicides and the waste of $$,
lives, and futures in the Iraq adventure.

4. I'm down to buying only one Faberge egg a month
I even recycle the broken ones now instead of just chucking them. It just takes a little bit of discipline, really.

Thanks for the inspiration, Shrub!

it is a very harsh reality.

17. Funny thing is -- this is a lie
Bush said he gave up golf after the UN building in Iraq was attacked in August 2003, but he was known to play golf as late as October of 2003.

So -- even this is a lie.

What is it with the Bushes and lying?

22. That is true. . .
Essentially, he is a sick guy who has no business being in a position to affect other peoples' lives.

The POTUS and VPOTUS are assholes. It sucks to be us, right now.

26. One thing you can rely on,
is that if Bush's mouth is moving, lies are a spewin'. Come to think of it, that's true about most Republican politicians.

21. Thank god!
All those people dying, somebody had to do something. He is so in solidarity with those who have lost loved ones.

Did anyone see him do his magnanimous face when he said it? I’ve been looking for a photo or video. My sacrifice? I lost my breakfast reading about his latest weak-ass drivel.

Edited on Wed May-14-08 09:42 AM by tavalon
I've never understood why they got the elephant and we got the donkey. They're the reliable jackasses. I think they should take the Donkey and we can take some invertebrate. I mean, really, shouldn't our totem animals reflect the real us?

36. I don’t know.
Being an ass or being spineless, hmmm. What a quandary. How about a bear a bull or an eagle? Well, I guess those are already taken. I presume most animals we use for food wouldn’t work. I agree, but I am just not sure.

I'm sure they'll appreciate that sacrifice. But I must remind you, the new Republican slogan is "Change You Deserve". so you're missing out on your just desserts.

Instead of buying $500 custom-made skating dresses like the elite skaters wear, I just buy $5.00 dresses and hot-glue on the crystals myself! :patriot:
