Oh man, you gotta give it up to the Bush campaign for this.
It's official. The Bush administratin will use anything. I got this in my email:

Dear Direckshun,

With Mother's Day coming up this weekend, I've been thinking about how proud I am of our children.

And it's with a mother's pride that I'm writing you today to ask you to support our eldest, George W., and his re-election campaign with a donation of $1000, $500, $250, $100 or $50.

www.GeorgeWBush.com/Million/

George W. has been President during challenging times and he has met the tasks at hand with a steely determination and clarity of purpose. From fighting the War on Terrorism to defending the homeland, the President has shown steady and strong leadership.

He has worked with Congress to lower taxes three times so American workers and entrepreneurs can get the economy growing again; pass the No Child Left Behind Act to help every child learn to read; and provide seniors with a prescription drug benefit.

The President has accomplished a lot in the past three and half years but there is much more he would like to accomplish. He will continue to help strength our homeland defense and lay a strong groundwork to win the War on Terrorism. He has put forward plans to save Social Security, secure pension plans and enhance retirement security for all Americans. And he has a comprehensive energy plan to make America less dependent on foreign oil.

Earlier this week, our son's re-election team announced their "March to a Million" campaign. Never before has a presidential campaign received contributions from over one million supporters. With your help, we'll make history.

This election is going to be a tough one. That is why I'm asking for your support. For months the President has been facing negative advertising from John Kerry and all sorts of pro-Kerry groups. I've been particularly disappointed in the personal attacks.

Your donation, no matter what the size, will help advertise the President's positive agenda for America and deliver his compassionate conservative message directly to the voters.

America needs a strong leader like George W. Bush. He is the right man to lead America during these challenging times.

Thank you very much for your support today. I hope you and your family enjoy a wonderful Mother's Day.

Sincerely,

Barbara Bush

Dear Direckshun,

With Mother's Day coming up this weekend, I've been thinking about how proud I am of our children.

And it's with a mother's pride that I'm writing you today to ask you to support our eldest, George W., and his re-election campaign with a donation of $1000, $500, $250, $100 or $50.

www.GeorgeWBush.com/Million/

George W. has been President during challenging times and he has met the tasks at hand with a steely determination and clarity of purpose. From letting 9/11 happen so that he could push through his radical PNAC foriegn policy, to creating a homeland security department that doesn't do anything but make up bullshit to scare people, George Bush has truly been there for this country.

He has used his lackeys in Congress to cut taxes taxes three times so American workers and entrepreneurs can donate money to his campaign. He has helped pass the No Child Left Behind act so that he can make sure every child in America never learns how to read so that he can shut down public education and send kids to religious schools. He also signed a $400 billion medicare bill so that his friends at the drug companies could get more money while seniors have to decide between their drugs or other necessities.

The President has accomplished a lot in the past three and half years, despite the fact that he spends most of his time on vacation or fundraising, but there is much more he would like to accomplish. He will continue to underfund homeland security so that there will be more terroists attacks so that he can push through more of his agenda. He has put forward plans to make sure that Social Security will not be aroound for the next generation, because those ungreatful little bastards clearly don't deserve it. And he has a comprehensive energy plan to invade Iran and Saudi Arabia to make sure that we never have to bother finding renewable energy.

Earlier this week, our son's re-election team announced their "March to a Million" campaign. Never before has a presidential campaign received contributions from over one million supporters, because before campaign finance reform we didn't have to. With your help, we'll make history.

This election is going to be a tough one. That is why I'm asking for your support. For months the President has been facing negative advertising from John Kerry and all sorts of pro-Kerry groups. I've been particularly disappointed in the personal attacks. President Bush clearly served his country honorably and never would have dreamed of neglecting his national guard duty. That John Kerry, on the other hand, actually had the nerve to put his life on the line in a war that was unjust and then come home to protest it. How dare he!

Your donation, no matter what the size, will help advertise the President's bullshit agenda for America and deliver his fascist message directly to the voters.

America needs a strong leader to lead America during these challenging times. Even though my son doesn't fit this description, you should support him or else you're unpatriotic.

Thank you very much for your support today. I hope you and your family enjoy don't puke after reading this.

Sincerely,

Barbara Bush

7. I believe it was Neil Bush's ex-wife, Sharon, who said...
... that the Bushes "weren't a family, they were a political organization."

This is simply proof of that.

Good thing most of our mothers are above this sort of pandering.

10. It's good to know what the "other side" is saying.
Do you not agree?

How can we deflect their arguments unless we know what their arguments are?

I posted it because it was simply hilarious this time around.

11. That's an awful lot of what the other side is saying.
With links, but without much commentary from you.

You do know that most of us at DU can figure out what Barbara Bush would say about her spawn?

There isn't much of an "argument" to deflect here.

15. write back and tell them that you would like to donate
but, you're job was outsourced, unemployment ran out, you used up what savings you had to pay for prescription medications because you no longer have health insurance and you are trying to take care your brother/sister's kids because he/she was shipped off to Iraq to find WMDs that don't exist

16. Barb
On March 18, two days before the U.S. invasion, Barbara Bush had an interview with ABC-TV's Diane Sawyer.


''Why should we hear about body bags and deaths and how many, what day it's gonna happen?'' Mrs. Bush declared. ''It's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?''

22. Barbara Bu$h and "A Clockwork Orange"
Barbara needs to see round the clock videos and photographs of tortured Iraqi prisoners so she no longer believes "her beautiful mind" is too precious to be bothered with the carnage that her little boy has unleashed in the world.
