1. I know why you're suggesting this but I wouldn't lift a finger

to aid in the continuation of bigotry and discrimination...imagine DUing a site and suggesting that black people should not be able to drink out of public fountains.

[Dob Bole]

3. I understand...

But if fewer bigots turn out to vote, that equally helps the cause of civil rights.

We're simply practicing our acting skills. Reagan/Arnold have done the same.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

6. Not suppressing the * vote is helping to aid continued discrimination.

.

[mcerise]

20. no one is disenfranchising them

* said what he said; there's no denying that. if they can't reconcile what * said with their own belief system, then maybe they should think twice about voting for him. pretending to be outraged about civil unions may be disingenuous, but if what we write resonates, then we're just wording what they're already concerned about from the beginning.

[hangemhigh]

2. This felt sooooo good....

"I thought our president was a God fearing Christian who believed in the scriptures which clearly state that homosexuality is wrong!"

[Dob Bole]

7. haha...

In mine, I just put "I was reading the news and noticed that President Bush is supporting same-sex civil unions. Isn't that the same as gay marriage? What's the difference?"

Was that Freeperish enough, or should I try again?

[HuskerDem]

4. I've been wondering why we haven't seen Bush's flip flop on this issue

Kerry and surrogates need to start "congratulating" Bush on his newfound enlightenment concerning gay couples, and then asking exactly when Blinky decided to change his position.

[Kahuna]

5. Yep!

:evilgrin:

[Dob Bole]

8. If you're nervous about possibly supporting bigots, try this approach

Contact these RW organizations and say that you're proud of President Bush's decision to support civil unions, and you support it. In your case, that would be much more honest, and it would have a positive effect either way the recipients approach it. If they actually listen to what you say, bam!....bipartisan support for civil unions. If not, it will still raise questions that they need to address about President Bush.

[yardwork]

15. Excellent approach!

I always tell the truth. It's much stronger. Like Bill Clinton said during the convention - Republicans lie because if they told the truth, nobody would vote for them. We don't have to lie.

[Not Me]

9. I sent robertson a note...

saying that I am dismayed that bush* would call him a liar, and now he's coming out in support of gay marriage.
I think I am leaning toward Kerry.

Let's see how long it takes for them to bombard my (junk) email box.

[cheezus]

10. support same sex unions, non-christians still go to heaven, won't undo Roe

bush must be in big trouble with the fundies these days

[Fridays Child]

11. Cal Thomas' thingy is broken.

:wow:

But I emailed the others. Here's another contact page for Jerry Falwell: http://www.falwell.com/?a=contact

[Dob Bole]

12. Thanks. Removed broken link. (nt)

[glocksters4kerry]

13. done!

[rlev1223]

14. OK, I was mean

I told them I wouldn't vote for a man with no principles. (True)


Signed it Jack Hoffalot. Not nice, but satisfying

[Rev_Karl]

16. I left a heartfelt message about Jesus

because, when you think about it, Jesus would not approve of Americas behavior lately and I hope we can change. Too bad so many of the people who follow those organizations think that Bush speaks for God - he doesn't, no person can.

[evilqueen]

25. Bush does TOO speak for God... Sun Myung Moon is their God. n/t

[JohnnyCougar]

17. This thread needs to be kicked!

Anyone have a link to Bush endorsing civil unions?

When I e-mail these people, I want a source.

We can make it the talking point of the evangelicals' weekend! Bush* wants to destroy marriage!! We must vote Peroutka!!!

Also, when contacting these people, state that abortion rates have gone up since Bush* has been president!

[NAO]

19. Here are some links....

I Googled "Bush Civil Unions" and here's a few:

Gotta lover this one. The domain name is 365 gay! They must be godless homosexuals 365 days a year.

23. hmmm...a man running a women's group

Robert Knight, director of the Concerned Women for America’s Culture and Family Institute, told AP, “Civil unions are a government endorsement of homosexuality.”

That would only make sense in freeperland.

18. Make sure they are aware of Bush's Support of Civil Unions

Let's inundate them with information, and get them discussing it among themselves.

They need to be aware that their Christian Bush is PANDERING to those ungodly homosexuals.

What happened to Bush's "Moral Core"? Has Satan got to Bush?

[NAO]

22. Focus on the family gave me a "troubled-soul ticket #" for f/u

It's like a help desk for the soul!! They gave my request a ticket number, lol.

Here's what I sent them:

"I'm sure you have see the news that President Bush is now saying he supports "the rights" of homosexuals to have gay unions."

"I believe this is him taking our country on a course where homosexuality will be viewed as an "acceptable alternative lifestyle". How can he clam to be a Bible believing Christian and yet publicly say that he supports gays rights?"

"I hope you will talk about this in your shows and in your newsletters."

[obiwan]

24. I sent them a right friendly letter...

... Titled "Bush Endorses Civil Unions".

Here it is..

"Mr. Bush is out of his mind. Gay people should burn in Hell; they are disobeying the Lord Our God and Jesus Christ. I din't like gays and I have no use for them. I never will either, as long as I can have intercourse with the members of my family and my pets. God bless you."

Bet they choke on their Sanka.

[lapislzi]

26. What a hideously subversive idea

I love it!
:evilgrin:

Write-in Roy Moore anyone?

[lynintenn]

27. I told them

I thought President Bush changed his mind to support gay civil union because he wanted to support the Cheneys because they have a lesbian daughter.
