Please respond to our Repub gov's anti-Kerry PROPAGANDA LIES

[mahina]

This is the letter from our Republican governor, and my response. Please write to her and tell her the truth, it seems she needs some deprogramming!


My note to our governonr:

This is misleading- no, lying. This piece of propaganda grossly misrepresents the facts and the appropriations process. It is a disgrace that you are spreading this kind of blatant falsehood and I will be sure, as you asked, to spread it around.

These people think * made us safer, when he is bankrupting our nation and stretching our military assets (including families, soldiers) for no good reason.
Put on your hip boots folks, the bush*t gets pretty deep:

I feel it is critical to our nation and the safety of its people that we reelect President Bush. Please join me in making certain we remain both safe and prosperous in the years ahead. Thank you for considering my opinion as you contemplate this important decision.

I thought the information below would be of interest to you.

Governor Linda Lingle

on edit: blah blah blah blah lies lies distortions lies blah blah....

GIVE UP?
THESE ARE THE AMERICAN MILITARY FORCES THAT WERE ELIMINATED DURING THE ADMINISTRATION OF BILL CLINTON AND AL GORE.
John Kerry on defense: lies list of falsehoods absurd oversimplicifation of complex appropriations bills that even bush I and Cheney didn't support listed as if voting against them somehow made us less safe when the bills in question were laden with pork to the eyeballs blah blah blahh.... With Kerry as president our Army will be made up of naked men running around with sticks and clubs.

The incredible gall when * didn't even meet with his terrorist advisors, more lies and distortions follow just so you have something to say to the woman:
He also voted to kill all anti terrorism activities of every agency of the
U.S. Government and to cut the funding of the FBI by 60%, to cut the funding for the CIA by 80%, and cut the funding for the NSA by 80%.

But then he voted to increase OUR funding for UN operations! by 800%!!!

Is THIS a President YOU want?



On edit: WHY YES IT IS!
Don't limit your sending to just your Republican friends. Everyone needs to know."
************************************************************************************
Boy, I'll say everyone needs to know- this is complete HORSE WASTE.
He voted against bills that were loaded with pork, working in our interests.
Who brought our economy out of the hole? Who balanced the budget? And didn't * find that Clinton's military was intact?

Once again that email address is [e-mail]

4. Please point that out to our governor

Regards
and keep the faith!
So far it's going pretty well over here. In my neighborhood canvassing which I started on Monday has met with solid positive response. Today my son came home from 10th grade and the first meeting of the Young Democrats club.
I feel that things are looking up but that email got me pretty mad and I feels strongly that it needs response. If you don't wish to help I understand.

5. You seem sincere, but you aren't supposed to

unwittingly pitch for these crappy e-mails here by posting them wholesale.

7. Point taken- I understand.

I edited it but I sure hope people send her some information
Thank you for the wise suggestion. I am stil really mad.
I hope there is enough there for people to respond to her with but since you mention it once these lies get rolling you kind of know where it's going.
Thanks & aloha

3. In case anyone here didn't already know, the list is a lie.Factcheck.org

At http://www.factcheck.org/article.aspx?docID=209 debunks these lies. In a * campaign ad, factcheck.org noted:

Voted Against Weapons?  Not Quite
Kerry did not, in fact, vote specifically against "13 weapons systems" as the ad claims. The bills shown on screen are actually Pentagon appropriations bills Kerry voted against in 1990 (H.R. 5803, S. 3189) and 1995 (H.R. 2126 ). Of course, voting against overall military spending bills does amount to voting against everything in them, but even so it isn't quite the same as voting to eliminate specific weapons. We've addressed similar attacks by the Bush campaign in earlier articles, Feb. 26, March 16 and April 26 .
PFA's ad also fails to mention that Kerry voted for Pentagon money bills in 16 of his 19 years in the Senate. By that measure, Kerry was much more a supporter of "weapons systems our troops depend on" than he was an opponent.
Furthermore, Bush's own father, who was then President, and Richard Cheney, who was then Secretary of Defense, proposed to cut or eliminate several of the very same weapons that Republicans now fault Kerry for opposing. In his first appearance before Congress as Defense Secretary in April 1989, for example, Cheney outlined $10 billion in defense cuts including proposed cancellation of the AH-64 Apache helicopter, and elimination of the F-15E ground-attack jet. Two years later Cheney's Pentagon budget also proposed elimination of further production of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle and targeted a total of 81 Pentagon programs for termination, including the F-14 and F-16 aircraft. And the elder President Bush said in his 1992 State of the Union address: "After completing 20 planes for which we have begun procurement, we will shut down further production of the B - 2 bombers. . . . And we will not purchase any more advanced cruise missiles." So if Kerry opposed weapons "our troops depend on," so did Cheney and the elder President Bush.

6. *snicker* does she think that CAPITALIZING makes her

lies more believeable?
I know that shit works on the braindead of the GOP BUT...HEHEHEHE

8. Lingle gets this month's Zell Miller Award for distortion and extortion.

9. How the heck...

Did you guys end up with a Republican Governor?

Seriously, this is a serious inquery. More then anything on '02, Hawaii and Vermont having R Governors surprised me. How? Why?

[mahina]

10. Responded by email

Bad strategy and overconfidence in a nutshell. Thanks for asking.

[ZJoeZ]

12. Okkk... (read email)

But even that shouldn't be an excuse. I mean...whatever. It just seems silly in a state that has 2D Reps, 2D Sens, and goes D in every Pres. election but 84.

Vermont is even worse. How the heck did Dean's home state go R for Governor?

11. Hawaii I believe has problems corruption wise with its state dem party
