Need help answering my idiotic Representative
Edited on Tue Jan-31-06 03:49 PM by DarleenMB
Living in Wyoming is wonderful except for the fact that most of the citizens are republicans. I received this email today from Barbara (I love to bake cookies) Cubin:

From: barbara.cubin@housemail.house.gov
Subject: A Message From Congresswoman Barbara Cubin
Date: January 31, 2006 7:22:53 AM MST
To: djbaker@fiberpipe.net


January 31, 2006




Dear Darleen:

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me regarding our action in Iraq.
I appreciate your comments.

There have arisen claims that the Administration, or President Bush, were
intentionally misleading regarding reports of Weapons of Mass Destruction
(WMD) in Iraq. These claims are absent any factual evidence. On the
contrary, in Iraq we have found mobile bio-weapon labs, Atropine stocks
and chemical suits -- all harbingers of WMD programs. There is no
question of Saddam Hussein's history of developing WMDs, his use of WMDs
against his own people, his sponsorship of terrorism, and his continued
intentions to develop WMD capabilities. Additionally, the published
findings of the 9-11 Commission have confirmed that Iraq and al Qaeda had
friendly ties. Iraqi officials even offered Osama Bin Laden safe haven in
1999.

We must also keep in mind our action was provoked by Saddam's continued
violation of the United Nations Security Council's numerous resolutions
and his violation of the terms of the cease-fire that ended hostilities
after the Gulf War. And the mass graves, torture chambers and stories of
brutality that have come to light are even more barbaric than we could
have imagined. Clearly, the president was right to oust Saddam.

I nonetheless have serious concerns about shortcomings in our intelligence
community, which is in need of updating if we are to face new and
dangerous threats to national security and the safety of the American
people. In December of 2004 Congress enacted the most comprehensive
intelligence overhaul package since World War II. The law will improve
intelligence sharing and coordination among federal agencies, without
which we cannot expect to produce accurate intelligence estimates. Be
assured I will keep your views in mind as Congress oversees the
implementation of this law and considers any additional intelligence
reform measures in the 109th Congress.

Thanks again for sharing your thought with me. Please keep in touch
should you have any additional questions or concerns.

With warm regards,



Barbara Cubin
Member of Congress




I don't even know where to begin. I am so irate that all I'm doing is calling her names.

Some help addressing this pack of lies would be greatly appreciated.

thanks.

1. I think calling her names is the appropriate response.

2. Call her what she is: A liar. It gets easier the more you do it.
I call Norm Coleman a liar two-three times a week. Sometimes by email, sometimes by phone.

What else can you do?

4. She's not just a kool-aid drinker
She's pouring the powder directly in her mouth without adding water.

If you really want to respond give her an item by item rebuttal on everything she said. It can't be too hard to find references. But you're probably wasting your time on this oxygen stealer.
Better yet send her letter and your responses to the newspaper, plaster copies on every telephone pole in town, etc.

5. Please accept my sympathies
What an ignorant disgusting human being she is. How bout shame as a tactic.

So sad you are a slave to the bush media machine spewing forth lies to your constituents at taxpayers expense. And also so sad, that your garbage will be regurgitated by many of your constituents. Barbara, you and your kind are what is wrong with America. Our kids continue to die in the desert of Iraq because of jerkoffs like you.

Warmest regards, a voter in your district.

6. Thank her for her letter and run against her
if there are 1000 or 3000 prople in the state that agree with you you can get enough signiatures to run, and when the newspaper asks why you are running just say its because she is a liar. no need to prevaricate, just out and out call her a bald face liar and dupe for bush.

You may only have one chance to get in the newspaper, but usually they will list and call for comment all the people that are running on the day they file. even if they are complete nut cases. If you are willing to just call her a liar often and regularly, they might give you a bit more coverage.

Short and sweet, keep the sound bites tight, offer evidence on paper, and just keep calling her a liar.

7. Your name and address are in there.
Did you really want them in there, or did you mean to edit them out?

8. thanks!
I was so upset I just missed that. duh.

Cubin just makes me so angry I could spit. My response to her last "missive" was to tell her she was spewing a load of horseradish. I figure if I'm semi-polite ONE of her aides might read my letters. I know she doesn't.

I mean, this is the woman who, when she was in the state legislature, baked penis shaped cookies for all the other representatives. She was also known for taking polaroid snaps of colleagues crotches and pinning them to her bulletin board so everyone could guess who was who.

THIS is what Wyoming sent to Washington.

Now you know why I dream of moving to Canada (New Zealand would be better but we aren't wealthy).

9. No problem. You might also edit out your email address
or you'll be getting some nasty spam from some freeper asses.

11. too late
I didn't realize there was a time limit on editing, so now my address is out there for the spiders and the trolls. Sounds like a bad Brother's Grimm story. oh well. Guess I'll beef up my spam assassin.

10. Go for the Republican Jugular
Edited on Tue Jan-31-06 03:56 PM by The Whiskey Priest
Ask her if all that is true...and it is worth some one to two trillion dollars, then why don't we pony up and increase taxes rather than weakening the future of America, by loading debt upon our children?
