Bush family values

During his campaign, Bush said he was implementing his tax policies for families of those like Reverend Michael Hintz of the First Assembly of God church.

Reverend Hintz has just been jailed for "sexual exploitation by a counselor" due to his relationship with a 17 year old girl from his churches Christian youth group.

God Bless America! Now we know what Rev. Hintz spent that $1200 on...

Bush's remarks:

"...one of those families is the Hintz family, from Clive, Iowa. Thank you all for coming. (Applause.)

"It's a special day for Mike and Sharla, not because they're with the President or with Chairman Grassley, but because it's their 13th wedding anniversary. (Applause.) Theirs is a typical story. See, last year they received a child tax credit check for $1,600 for their four children. And under all the tax relief we've passed, they saved about $2,800 last year. With this extra money they bought a wood-burning stove to reduce their home heating costs. They made a decision for their family.

"They also made home repairs and improvements. They took the family on a vacation to Minnesota. Next year when you get your check, you may want to come to Texas. (Laughter.) Without the tax bill I'm signing today, the Hintzes would have paid $1,200 more in federal taxes next year. Think about that. Here's a family of four, working hard to raise their kids, the money would have been going out of their pocket. I believe they can spend that $1,200 better than the federal government can." (Applause.)

I weep for America, its people, and the world.

I pity our leaders who see fit to be destructive rather than constructive.

My heart is broken for what is happening in this country and the negative image we have around the world. I, too, weep for our soldiers in Iraq fighting a senseless war and for their families.
