woo hoo! my boss won't vote for bush!

[toddzilla]

file this under "unexpected news that shocks and amazes"

i work for a medium sized painting company, my boss drives a ford excursion with an american flag on the back..


So we're having this "meeting" (in a circuit city parking lot :wtf: ) to hand out paychecks and he starts telling everyone about how our health insurance has gone up 33% recently. so instead of raising our monthly premiums, they re-adjusted the policy so deductibles are more and prescriptions are more. one of the guys i work with is standing there and he starts bitching because he already pays 600 a month in health insurance premiums for the family. i just couldn't take it so i announced, stupidly i thought, "KEEP VOTING REPUBLICAN EVERYONE!! WE'LL GET MUCH MORE OF THIS!" so my boss turns around and looks at me, and i think "wonderful, now i'm on the shit list" and he says...




"I wouldn't vote for that mother f*cker if he was the last person on earth!"

the he starts ranting about what an idiot he is and etc...:wow:



so, you just never know how people feel unless you find out. anyway that made my day, and i thought i'd share it!!

1. His hard work is paying off

The most hated man on Earth is quickly becoming the most hated man in America.

I guess what people were saying about his former sky high approval ratings, his support was a mile wide but an inch deep.

2. a moment of celebration in some otherwise bleak times.

thank you for sharing that.

3. That little scene

is being replayed thousands of times a day, everyday, all over (except a few miltary contractor boom towns).

I heard a couple of Kansas Contractors (industrial property developers, actually) saying far worse with fewer obscenities. One of them got it.
He said no one in his business can make money building factories and warehouses in America, and that maybe they all ought to move to India and China.

4. A conservative guy I work with has gotten more and more incensed

about the soldiers dying in Iraq and the way the injured are being treated. He's a Gulf War veteran and he's starting to surf liberal websites to feed his growing hatred of the regime.
I think the Big Lie and the daily reports of soldiers dying are hitting a whole demographic that the Bushites think they've got in their pocket.

6. drip drip drip

slowly but surely, the dripping continues...

A Former Special Forces Soldier Responds to Bush's Invitation for Iraqis to Attack US Troops
"Bring 'Em On?"

11. Hey, thanks. I will.

I feel like also sending it to this other guy I work with who said he's tired of all the "whining" from Vietnam vets. But I'll have to think about whether that might be pointless.

13. i saw a show with henry kissinger

where kissinger admitted that it was 'probably a good thing'(?) that the Viet Nam war ended the way it did (meaning US thrown out)...
the thing is 56000 US boys died in that goddam war!
(btw i wish wish wish i'd taped the show, it would be something to send to those who criticise vets who know they were used, and used wrongly!)

7. Question? Has anyone heard somebody say

that they DID NOT vote for Bush in 2000 but WILL vote for him in 2004???

I, for one, have not heard that from any person, in any print or other media. Has anyone else??

If the fact is that during his current term, he has not gained a single new vote but has lost many, many of the votes he had 2000, how can we not win in 2004?? Oh yea, BBV'g, that could do it. That is the only way.

8. true, but you have to be careful of the "things have changed"

mentality.. the whole 9/11 thing being used as an excuse for not wanting to change leadership etc..
my argument is always goes to the fact that if this had happened at the end of an 8 year presidency, we wouldn't have a choice anyway. and there's always the point that nothing is going well anyway..

9. Nice! Thank you for the story.

It's easy to be pessimistic... but this helps. Thanks.
