My very angry letter to the AP concerning Kerry's downtime
If you people would just come out and admit that you favor Bush's fascist plans for our nation, things would be clearer for a lot of Americans still under the impression that you are an objective news source. BTW it is fascism, a merge of industry and government is a simple definition that even your writers should understand. I suggest that your writers take some time and do some research on the former governments of Russia, Italy, Spain, and Germany and then write a few real articles on the Bush administration.

Your hit pieces on Kerry's downtime make me want to vomit. Honestly, if you really want your own children to grow up in Bush's fascist version of the USA just go ahead and start cheering for it now. I can already see the headlines, "In an unprecedented move by President Bush, he will proclaim that term limits are out dated," followed by a glowing article about how he hopes to go back to the tradition government of the United States. A less complicated time when we were still apart of England. Then you can talk about how he has commissioned a crown made from the most exquisite precious metals and jewels and that even P Diddy owns nothing like it.

You live in this country too, damn it, do you really want your children to grow up in a less free country than you were? As a mother of two children and an avid lover of our constitution, I pray that you consider the future of your own children and start doing your damn jobs!

Sincerely,
Me

"Hit pieces" are exactly what they are.

2. You could have used my signature line
it appears....That said, I don't think letters like yours are effective...too much yelling...You want to sell them on your idea, so I would suggest a more subtle approach...successful salesmen are subtle and smooth operators - so smooth that you don't realize they are being smooth - if you think a salesman is coming on too smooth and slick then he is neither - just a wannabe!

3. You go Girl...I wrote "Nedra" too and gave her and the AP a piece of my
...mind...I reminded them of Poppy and the house in Kennebunkport, just in case they forgot....

What Sh*t's these people are...the sad thing is some dipsh*t is logging on to his computer or reading USA Today and going "Wow, look at that elitist John Kerry"....

The other story they were running today on the same page was about Kerry getting $2K from a Korean who was arrested...

Wonder if they will run the same headline when Kenny Boy Lay is "Arrested and Indicted" this week....but the $$ amount from him makes $2K look like chump change....
