Schilling goes to bat for Bush in 3 states

[Rose Siding]

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Curt Schilling is pitching for President Bush after all.

The Red Sox star, who at the last minute canceled plans to appear at two New Hampshire Bush rallies Friday, has recorded pro-Bush messages that will be automatically dialed in the Granite State, as well as in Maine and Pennsylvania.

''These past couple of weeks, Sox fans all throughout New England trusted me when it was my turn on the mound," Schilling says in the recording made Friday. ''Now you can trust me on this: President Bush is the right leader for our country."

21. How about the Texas Rangers?

[dennis4868]

2. Yes....

Bush is our leader who ignored terror threats before 911, refused to meet with his counter terror experts before 911, who tried to cut the counter terror budget before 911, and who let Sdaam get away at Tora Bora and insttead started an illegal war in Iraq!

Bush is certainly DA MAN!

You go Curt...they hated you in the Diamondbacks clubhouse as well as in Philly....GO TO HELL!

[sendero]

3. This just reinforces my long-held belief...

.... that pro athletes should be seen and not heard.

[are_we_united_yet]

4. Thanks Curt! Really thank you!!!!

You are making all the difference in the world! I was going to vote for Kerry. But since you are a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox who just won the World Series, I guess I can finally put to rest my grievances with the current Administration regarding:

1) Iraq war
2) Aggregious Environmental abuses
3) Failed economic policies
4) Dismal foreign policies
5) Significant Civil liberty deterioration
6) Blatant disregard for Democracy and the US Constitution
7) Failed Energy policies
8) Ignoring Scientific research
9) Lying to the American people on an unprecedented scale
10)Exploiting the fear of the American people for political gain
...
...
...
(This list goes on for a while)


BUT BECAUSE YOU WERE THE PITCHER WHO WON THE WORLD SERIES I must now change my vote. Thanks Curt. You truly represent mainstream America and what is important. Lets just forget the minutia I enumerated above.

5. You mean S(c)hilling - right?................... :O) eom

[Media_Lies_Daily]

6. Baseball is baseball; politics is politics...stick with something you....

...know, Schilling.

[Cocoa]

7. Schilling phones it in

[nibbana]

8. Hope they play it in Missouri and the mid-west...

[MarkTwain]

10. BWaaaaah! JUST what everyone wants...

....irrespective of political orientation, ANOTHER automated dialer telemarketing call and yet ANOTHTER Political telemarketing call.

Oh yeah. This is going to put the Resident Iditot OVER THE TOP!

[jobycom]

11. Oh, so singers and actors aren't credible, but men who play with balls are

I'm sorry, I accidentally started looking for logic in Republican actions... my bad.

Question: Curt says he became a "person" eight years ago... isn't he too young to vote, then?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

15. Funny thing is Kerry's celebrities know he is going to raise their taxes

[PsN2Wind]

12. I'd like to see

all Democrats that hold season tickets to Red Sox games just stay home on at least the first game Sc(h)illing starts next season at Fenway. Better yet would be all, but that ain't likely.

[Zorra]

13. Why isn't that phony christian hypocrite chickenhawk fighting in Iraq if

he supports Bu$h?

He's a big, strong fella....and Uncle Dick needs all the cannon fodder he can get.

How 'bout it, Curt? Ready to enlist and give your life or limbs to the cause?

No? You are afraid?

That's what we thought.

[drdtroit]

26. Don't you know he's 4F now. n/t

[BayStateBoy]

14. I Wouldn't Worry Too Much. We Here in Mass

Have reelected Kerry many times and he's been our senator for over 20 years.

The weight of opinion of the people of this state can't be threatened by an over paid sports idiot who suddenly is spouting off.

Again, like the OBL tape: This election more than ever will depend on whether people THINK or just react emotionally.

[Cobalt Violet]

18. He's not even from here anyway.

I hope people like him leave the state. Romney too.

[cosmicone]

16. This will backfire and piss people off

Joining Bush in a rally is one thing .... a phone call and recorded for that matter is intrusive and irritating.

[Tracer]

17. There was a letter in the Boston Globe the other day ...

... that said:

"Curt, don't tell us how to vote and we won't tell you how to pitch."

[RedSock]

20. amen

shut up curt.

i heard that team prez john henry and GM theo epstein are stumping for kerry.

[tanyev]

22. Sounds like a flip-flopper.

[pinniped]

23. Sorry, he may have pitched a good game but it's obvious...

that his mind has turned to mush. Anyone who goes to bat for these piece of shit is evolving in reverse.

[BenDavid]

24. Enough of using G-d when

you win. I do not wish to get into a sermon here but think about it folks. When you compete against someone as Shilling did and you win, what, G-d chose you to win and the other person or team to lose? What? G-d chooses winners and losers.... Think folks, you cannot put G-d to a test, but then again we have a pResident who claims he was chosen by the Cloud Being to lead this country. Let me see Osama heard the voice of G-d and killed thousands... Mohammed Atta heard the voice of G-d and he killed thousands on 9-11, Palestinian suicide bombers kill innocent woman and children and they hear the voice of G-d, and Bush hears the voice of G-d..... well maybe if I may....G-d is telling us all too "stop killing your political enemies in My name"

[symphony]

25. I'm disappointed

I was ready to give this mo fo the benefit of the doubt when he pulled out of campaigning with *.

Then again, what do you expect from a spoiled millionaire who has greatly benefited from his idol's "millionaire tax cut". He stands to lose quite a bit of money if Kerry wins and rolls back the tax cut.

Schilling, you suck! :spank:
