Send President Bush a Birthday Message
Posted by Jesse Berney on July 6, 2005 at 12:26 PM
Today is President Bush's 59th birthday, and the Republican National Committee recently celebrated by asking GOP activists to sign a birthday card to the president. But there was a catch: you could only sign it if you gave a donation to the RNC.
We think that's un-American -- everyone should be able to send a message to our leader. So we've set up a birthday card that you can sign -- free of charge.

Happy Birthday, Spunky.
Hope your daughters are going to give their father a present that will make you proud -- enlisting in the Marines.
Happy Birthday, W. Have a drink on me!!!
Your trackback feature doesn't seem to be working. I added a link on my blog, http://itismyopinion.blogspot.com
I also told the president that many people our age (I am the same age) are looking forward to retirement. In my case, it is his retirement that I am looking forward to.
Happy Birthday Mr. President
Thank you for everything you have done for this country.
Thank you for the lower taxes my family has to pay.
Thank you for getting our country out of a recession.
Thank you for your leadership with the war on terror.
Thank you for trying to make sure that I have options available to me with regards to Social Security.
Thank you for protecting the sanctity of marriage.
Thank you for everything.
Happy Birthday and God Bless.
It's not a thank you card, and he's not a birthday present. Why don't you just propose marriage and get rid of Laura. I am assuming you are a male? Come on, tell the truth.
Re: thetruth
"Thank you for everything you have done for this country."
- Especially exporting jobs, desecrating the environment with disastrous policies, ignoring the millions of citizens without health care and assaulting reproductive rights!
"...for the lower taxes my family has to pay."
I think you mean selling out to plutocratic corporate interests and to those in the top 1% tax bracket, at the expense of middle class and working class Americans.
"... for getting our country out of a recession."
Last time I checked, Clinton left a surplus and after drunk fratboy took office, we have over $400 billion in debt that my generation will be responsible for repaying!
"...for your leadership with the war on terror."
Yeah, props to Dubya for purposely misleading the world about WMD's in Iraq, at the cost of $200 billion and thousands of human lives, and turning the United States from a respected nation into the laughing stalk of the world.
"...trying to make sure that I have options available to me with regards to Social Security."
a.k.a. LINING THE POCKETS OF HIS BUDDIES ON WALL STREET AT THE EXPENSE OF RETIRED AMERICAN SENIORS.
"...protecting the sanctity of marriage."
Don't you mean discriminating against same-sex couples?
Yes, I hope you have a wonderful Birthday Dubya. You deserve thanks for all you've done for the average American citizen!
This is not new.
I used to call the White House comment line regularly during the administration of Mr. Bush's father, and during the Clinton administration. I don't know how far my comments got from the operators who took them, but at least they took them. It didn't take more than a couple of months before the Bush II administration switched over to a fully automated system in which you are given a couple of choices of topics (generally not what you were calling about) and then you can answer using a multiple choice format with canned answers.
Obviously, they don't care what the rest of the country is thinking.
I will say though that I have decided to splurge and go all out to buy Mr. Bush a birthday present. Something when a steak or a gemstone just won't do. If he calls me back, I promise to drain my savings account and buy him a really luxurious item: A TANK OF GAS!
Hi Mr. President happy birthday, I hoped you had a great day in Denmark, Im a danish citizin, and was alongside the Castle Fredensborg where you, meet Danish Primeminister Rasmussen. We were a big crowd singing birthday songs.
This is not a day to be partisan, but bi-partisan
Ronnie Dahl
Democrat
Excuse me --- but what the f*ck is any good, honest Christian doing sending that greedy, lying, bloodsucking SOB a greeting card?
He has slaughtered 1,748 of our boys in his crazed war on Iraq. I will never willingly give any slack to the murderer who took my favorite nephew.
God may forgive, I will not.
Dear W,
At your party, avoid the pretzels.

Democrat
What the hell do you mean by this stupid statement? Why is it that democrats have to be the ones that have to show bi-partisanship only then later to get burned by republicans like bush? I am tired of this same old thing like its the democrats fault that america is split.
To hell with bush's birthday. The only present I want to give bush is a trial on crimes against humanity. I wouldnt mind giving an impeachment trial.
Maybe we all should send bush a better helmet for when he is on his bike, after all he wrecked again the loser.
Happy birthday George,
I hope this one is the last you celebrate while in office.
HEY GEORGIE,
You don't deserve no birthday wish. YOU CHEATED MY SENATOR JOHN KERRY LAST NOVEMBER. Hell will freeze over before I forgive you from that.
Why is it that democrats have to be the ones that have to show bi-patisanship

Because we are better then them, and that is the way we should win elections

We Should, but we don't Ronnie, because the American public is easily duped and swayed. By Rove putting that Gay marriage question on 11 crucial state ballots, he made sure it drew the least informed citizenry out to the polls, where they also thought they had to pull the lever for Bush.
Now, MY Birthday Wish, Mr President.
I wish with all my might, that next time the Terrorists do not miss, and it is YOU who is wearing a 757 on your head !! But other than that, have a nice day, you old fool !
Now, I know the good book says "Judge not, for ye should be judge accordingly"
However, on this one - "Forgive me Father fore I have broken an amendment"
I just gotta say "This is the sort of birthday present I hoped him for!
He deserves more then that, however, I take this!
Bush Has Bike Accident
GLENEAGLES, Scotland (AP) -- President Bush collided with a local police officer and fell during a bike ride on the grounds of the Gleneagles golf resort while attending a meeting of world leaders Wednesday.

Gheez!
Connected to the 1980's Saving & Loan scandal; Awol from the National guards; Choking on pretzels; waving to a blind man-(Stevie Wonder); falling off bikes!
What a klutz!
Why would anyone vote for this man only proves the theory...
It takes all kind to make the world!
Geez, you guys!
I'm no fan of Bush and I made sure to remind everyone of how they are suffering from his incompetence, arrogance and frankly sadistic attitude towards people not in his income bracket every day, but some of these comments are making me wonder.
True, I agree with those of you who have observed that every time we take the high road we get picked off by shots from the sewer, and Ronnie is way off base about 'bi-partisanship' since we have seen how 'bi-partisan' Bush and his praetorian guard are, but comments like the ones at 6:21 and 7:21 really disturb me.
I remember the time I was listening to a right wing talk radio show about ten years ago and some right wing nutcake called up the day of the Ron Brown plane crash and said something like 'That's wonderful news, too bad Bill Clinton wasn't on that plane too.' I was shocked, and even the right wing jock had to cut the guy off and tell people to tone it down. But looking at some of the posts here, I wonder if we are sounding just about that bad.
Go ahead and wish the President a lousy birthday if you want, but don't wish that evil will come to him personally, that is taking it way too far.
Happy Birthday George,
Tell your boyfriend not to leave so many marks. This excuse about falling off your bicycle is starting to get lame.
Mr. President,
May you get back today and for years to come what you have given us and did to our country.
Eli, I want George W. kicked out of office the way many people do. It's not the same as saying I wish he was dead.
just found this blog, pretty cool folks. i know that this a little self-promotion, but we have a very liberal sports show, and just finished an anti-war animation that i thought this group would enjoy. this isn't meant to huck our stuff, but provide some comedy about our un-justified occupation in iraq. peace.

Eli
I did not see any post that wish "Death to the President"
That is a federal offense and could lead up to imprisonment!
We are only expressing our own personal sentiments - nothing more -
To clear up what I had hoped for as a birthday gift is to see the word IMPEACHMENT come falling upon him
Like I said we will have to answer one day for jugmentation, until then
Let "Freedom of Speech" - Reign
Dear Mr. Bush,
Thank you for blowing our defecit sky high in a time of war by cutting taxes and selling out our foreign policy to Israel. Thanks a lot.
I think that President Bush is doing a good job, except for the war. God bless President George W. Bush!
Edith, you must be drunk or on another drug because George W. is doing a HORRIBLE job.
Jobs are being outsourced to other countries.
The cost of living has gone up a lot more than the average wage since he came into power.
The war in Iraq isn't going well
International relations have gone down
The overall economy isn't recovering very well. The stock market isn't a good reflection of the overall economy.
How is George W. doing a good job? His approval ratings are going down, and more evidence is comming forward about how he STOLE the White House instead of winning the elections honestly.
Clarification: I told him to STAY AWAY from the pretzels, not eat them.
Whatever happens, don't let this guy leave office before 2006, alive or otherwise. His current policies are the best thing to happen to the Democratic Party since Hoover was President.
Mr Bush
How about as a birthday present, you get some of your cowardly neo conservative buddies to enlist? Let them REALLY serve their country instead of forcing our youngsters to go and fight your illigitimite wars.
happy birthday bush. I have nothing more to say than that I hope a highly co-ordinated terrorist attack blows you to 1,748 pieces. That would only be fitting irony, you scum.
Thank you President Bush, all of your idiocy will hopefully give us the present of a major upset in the GOP dominance on the House and Senate in 2006. (If the Dems. play their cards right).
Happy Birthday, Dubya!
In addition, I want to say thanks:
--For shrugging off the senseless cheap shots taken by some power-hungry dude by the name of Howard Dean, among others who have no idea what they are talking about, and throw away any chance they have of giving the Dem's a good name. You show how a TRUE LEADER should act. Dean's dirt-slinging strategy is backfiring in his face, and Republicans are taking the high road, by playing politics in an AMERICAN fashion (well, most of them anyway).
--From a rising high school senior (age 17) who proudly supports President George W. Bush (not to mention, one who flat-out despises and detests the classless likes of Howard Dean--I say classless because that's how he makes himself look).
Keep doing what you're doing Dubya!
I would like to respond to "K's" remarks made on the 6th.
>The reason there was a surplus during Clinton's administration is due to the fact that he raised taxes, just like Tom Daschle did recently--over $9K for the average household (you can go to the GOP's website and check it out). So you can go ahead and throw that ridiculous theory out of the window.
>You also pointed out that the President "misled" us into the Iraq war (and I support overthrowing someone like Saddam Hussein-the world is safer, whether you want to fess up and admit it or not). RNC Chairman was on Tim Russert's "Meet the Press" on June 5th. I quote him now:
"The fact is that the intelligence of this country, the intelligence of Britain, the intelligence of the United Nations, the intelligence all over the world said that there were weapons of mass destruction present in Iraq."
...In case you can't comprehend what that rather simple statement means, it means that we were not the only people who thought Hussein had WMD's. Also, during your good friend Bill Clinton's presidency, he noted that Saddam had a WMD program and intended to use them--I don't hear one peep from you Democrats that refer to him as a liar. Once again, you can throw that theory out of the window as well--I'm sure it will be easy for you to find another issue to blow out of proportion, just like alot of the Dem's seem to be doing lately--pathetic.
>You don't seem to much better than that senseless Mr. Howard Dean either: "drunk fratboy???" This must be the common theme/strategy for the Dem's to win the White House--by giving in to the "sore loser" position and, instead of figuring out where they went/are going wrong, continue to find other positions to go wrong. And you Democrats think the REPUBLICANS are giving us a bad image? Please. Grow up.
Oh, by the way--I left out the RNC Chairman's name. It is Ken Mehlman. You may not be able to recognize him because he actually campaigns for his party in an American fashion--something the Democrats aren't too accustomed to seeing lately. It's sad, because the Democrats could be a very good party, and there have to be idiots that throw away their chances.
A Big Hap-Hap-Happy B-day to the greatest president since Bush Sr. A quick thanks to the left for Howard Dean. Thanks to morons like him, we cant lose.
Yo Dubya,
STOP throwing around my name, as if i would be friends with your sorry ass. You belong in Hell.
Jesus Christ
Happy Birthday Dickhead,
Hope you rot in hell
Say hi to the wife and kids
Yes, liberal76.
Jesus would really rather be friends with liberals like yourself, many of whom (not all) are for abortion, among other ANTI-CHRISTIAN actions.
Idiot.
I'm going to say it right now so both of you can hear it that Jesus would not be happy with either party. He'd be unhappy with the Democrats for their stance on abortion and gay marriage. He'd be unhappy with the Republicans for their ridiculous pro-Israel stance and for playing the religious card to gain votes. And most of all he'd be unhappy with Bush for making religion look unintelligent.
Thank You Mr. President;
-unemployment is at an all time low
-homeland sucrity is at an all time high
-two new Democrocies in the Arab world
-fighting to correct social security
-Please don't let us down with your Supreme Court selection. Pick someone who is not halucinating when they read the Constitution.
-know that the mojority of the Country supports you in your path for us all.
After reading these blogs I can see how the democrates would vote for Hillary Clinton.. You people are AFU...
No need to post a reply.. I don't care what you have to say.. DILLIGAF as the biker say..
Yo Jeremy,
Why the hewll are you on this site. You have a problem with Howard Dean, you think that DUBYA is Jesus recarnated. Why would you waste your time. You monkey-boy won, or should i say stole the election for the second time. Let me guess you are short, fat and bald, people including me hate you. Get a life, and FUCK off. You dont belong on this site.
Liberal and Proud..
Happy Birthday to the President that has the second highest accumulated votes in history.......Second only to Richard M. Nixon. Heres to the man who received over 62 MILLION votes! Wow! Heres to the man who had a higher grade point average than John Kerry. Happy Birthday W, you are doing a much better job than any Liberal ever could.
Happy birthday Mr. President
It's time to start telling the truth. Restore integrity to govt. when will you start working for the middle class?
Everyone should read What's The Matter With Kansas, The Two Americas, and Shrub.
