Bush Cost Job and Sons!

From a dad and working stiff:

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak my mind. I lost my job this past year. When Clinton was president I was secure and prosperous, but in the last year, we had to close our operations. We simply could not compete with foreign labor. This foreign labor worked for low pay under very bad conditions.
They worked very long shifts, and many even died on the job.

This competition could hardly be called "fair." I was forced out of the place where I had worked for 34 years.

Not a single government program was there to help me.

How can Bush call himself "compassionate?" Far worse, I lost two of my sons in Bush's evil war in Iraq. They gave their lives for their country, and for what? So that Bush's oil buddies can get rich. My pain of losing my sons is indescribable.

While it is trivial next to the loss of my sons, I regret to say that I also lost my home. I simply have nothing left. How can Bush call himself a Christian when he neglects people like me? I am a senior citizen with various medical problems. I'm not in a position where I can begin a new career. I was reduced to the point where I had to live in a hole in a ground, all because of President Bush.

And when the authorities found me there, did they have any compassion for my misfortune and ailments? No, I was arrested. Mr. Bush, I dare you to look me in the face and tell me you are a compassionate man! I dare you to look me in the face and tell me you are a Christian. If I had any money left, I would donate it to the Democrat Party.

If Al Gore had been elected in 2000 I would still have a job, a home, and most importantly, my dear sons!

Regards,

Saddam Hussein

I saw that posted on a christian board, all of them immediately berated him for being a whiner and unpatriotic.

LOL, that's great. That name at the end really twisted things up, however, no matter how moral that war was, the fact still remains that Bush lied to the people. I agree that Iraq needed the freedom, and that Saddam deserves to be in prison, and that the war was needed, but he still lied to the people to get his war, and that's what I'm not forgiving.

Funny, the end name was a twist. I was taking it serious up until the second to last paragraph.

Funny, though I saw it coming. Reduced to living in a hole in the ground gave it away.

Doesn't this belong in N&P?

That was pretty good. I admit I was caught at the end.

I was almost starting to get a little pissed off, until the end.

After the first two paragraphs my eyes wandered, I saw the name. Still funny though.

Funny, too bad the living in a hole was in there. Without that, the Saddam's name at the end would have surprised me.
