Here it is! Bush got a blowjob! We can impeach him now!

[katinmn]

I keep writing to Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) but I do it more as an irritant than anything else.

For laughs, here is this week's response to my letter asking him not to be foolhardy about getting on the nukeing Iran bandwagon, cuz I'm sure it's being talked about even in the upper house. He didn't even differentiate between Iraq and Iran! In his form letter he is literally performing the act. There's our cause for impeachment, right there. Bush gets a blowjob every day from lapdogs like Coleman. Where's the outrage? (On a more somber note, Coleman is the only one that writes back. My Dem "representatives" McCollum and Dayton rarely even bother.)

Dear Kat:

Thank you for taking the time to contact me concerning Operation Iraqi Freedom.

I am inspired by our soldiers' efforts to advance the cause of freedom. We must stay committed to defeating the insurgents to bring peace and democracy to the Iraqi people.

The process of consolidating a new national government will take time and patience. However, important milestones have been reached. On January 30, 2005, millions of Iraqis participated in their first free election, defying the threats of insurgents who sought to deny them their opportunity for democracy. A constitution was drafted and a constitutional referendum was held on October 15, 2005, with high voter turnout reported in Sunni majority provinces. On December 15, 2005, Iraqi voters went to the polls to elect a Council of Representatives. Over 6,200 polling centers were opened, staffed by 170,000 polling workers with 120,000 election observers on hand.

The result of the December election, the third time Iraqis have gone to the polls to elect their government, is promising and has given Iraqis more hope for the future. The largest Shiite religious party has won the majority of seats, as expected; however, it did not win enough to rule without coalition partners. Additionally, the Sunni religious factions have gained more seats than they had in the outgoing assembly. As these results indicate, the majority of Iraqis want their voices to be heard - they want democracy. With that in mind, it is essential that the United States continue to support them as the political momentum in their country grows.

I traveled to Iraq last year where I visited with American and Iraqi officials about Iraq 's political transition, the corruption of the U.N. Oil for Food program, U.S. service member needs, and progress in training Iraqi troops. Currently, over 223,000 Iraqi security forces have been trained and equipped, with 34 Iraqi Army battalions assuming primary control of their own areas of responsibility. Iraqis see progress in their own country and believe Coalition forces should stay to complete their mission. According to a poll conducted in December, over 70 percent of Iraqis surveyed oppose the immediate withdrawal of American troops. They understand that American troops are training their military to help ensure their security. The training of the Iraqi Army, National Guard and police forces to assume a greater role in maintaining the security of Iraq will hasten the day American troops can come home.

Day by day, Iraqi forces are making progress in toppling the insurgency. Three top level associates of Al Qaeda terrorist Abu Musab Al- Zarqawi have been captured by Iraqi forces. Abu Azzam , a top Zarqawi lieutenant, was also killed by Coalition forces. Azzam had directed and controlled all terrorist activities and operations in Baghdad . Additionally, Iraqi citizens have provided valuable tips to Coalition forces. One tip resulted in the capture of a dozen 500 pound bombs and the discovery of an IED factory and over 4,000 pounds of explosives.

Under the President's leadership, the United States has contributed substantially to Iraq 's reconstruction. Iraqi reconstruction funds are managed by the Iraq Project and Contracting Office and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Many projects have already improved the quality of life for the Iraqi people. Food and electricity are being distributed throughout the country. USAID is providing support to the Ministry of Trade to deliver more than 480,000 tons of food each month. Over 2,800 schools have been renovated and over 47,500 secondary school teachers have been trained. Health care funding has increased 30-fold since Iraq was freed from Saddam Hussein. USAID has immunized 98 percent of children under 5 years old against measles, mumps, and rubella and 97 percent of children under 5 against polio. Over 1,200 primary health clinics and 240 Iraqi hospitals are in operation.

I am proud to support America 's troops and I look forward to their return home when their mission is complete. America and every nation that stands for freedom and democracy will be forever in their debt.

Thank you once again for taking the time to contact me. I value your advice. If I may be of further assistance to you in the future, please do not hesitate to contact me again.

Sincerely,
Norm Coleman
United States Senate

And a giant FUCK YOU back at ya, Norm!

1. again that word mission

what mission?????? crusades is more like it, to kill innocent people and our soldiers for a lies.

[azurnoir]

2. Is this a GOP propaganda form letter

do repukes from other states use a similar one? But it's nice to know that a larger % of Iraqi children under 5 are immunized then in the US (if that's true) Wonder how much Pharma (in this case mostly Aventis) is making in either tax dollars or breaks.

3. The usual Boilerplate

This is what pisses me off about members of Congress, no matter what party they come from the vast majority don't even see letters from their constituents. Replies are done by staffers who who crank out boilerplate responses from prewritten blurbs based on the content from the constituent. I wouldn't be surprised if they used word filters to generate automatic replies.

4. Where's his discussion on Iran?

Always fun to remember Galloway going down
on Norm- That day he got blown to pieces not
a blow job.

[katinmn]

6. In a year he can just do search and replace

and send out the same letter.

Iraq-Iran, what's the diff to these racist 'pukes?

[NCarolinawoman]

5. Ugh, to think he took Wellstone's place.

His letters must be like salt in the wound or even worse.

:-(

[katinmn]

7. yeah, if Wellstone hadn't died we wouldn't have Coleman till 08

:-(

And Wellstone would have been leading the peace marches.:) He always liked to get out where the people were.

At a parade last year in St. Paul I spotted Coleman hiding behind some shrubbery and shade looking for other Repukes to shake hands with. Weren't many around my neighborhood.
