Product Description:

The year is 2004. John Kerry, tied in a dead heat with the sitting president, decides to attempt the impossible: get rid of the problem by throwing money at it. With the Heinz family fortune at his disposal, Kerry must fight back wave after wave of descending Bushites by throwing money (and occasionally other stuff) at them to make them go away. Besides money, Kerry has a few additional items he can throw, each of which affects only a certain type of Bushites. Experiment with the brain, heart, and bottle of rum to most effectively take out the bad guys and increase your score! Shot accuracy pays off, as each successful hit with your primary weapon increases a score multiplier in the upper-right corner of the screen; Likewise, each missed shot decreases the multiplier. When the multiplier reaches 10x, Kerry acquires secondary weaponry in the form of additional money that flies upward at an angle with each shot of the primary weapon. The Bushite mercenaries will come at you in wave after wave of relentless terror. Fight them off as far as you can, and score as many points as you can. Go get 'em, soldier!

game is really not worth your time, although i applaud the designer using the medium to express his constitutional right to free speech. although courts have ruled in at least open case that video games dont amount to same protection of free speech as other medium, i think endeavors such as this should enjoy the same protection as satire found in political cartoons. those of "right" wing persuasion who have so little humor or sense that cant recognize this for what it is, well that's just par for course isn't it?

Razzledazzle, your comments are (as usual?) most inscrutable. I of course have no control over VersionTracker's editorial policies, nor do I particularly care what they are, or if they are applied consistently. As I said earlier, you are more than welcome to visit the blog address provided earlier to comment on any political issues brought up by BushPanic that don't seem welcome here. The only form of "censorship" I'll exercise on my blog is removal of obscene or illegal material. You are free to air your opinions there, however ill-formed and nonsensical they may seem to some. OK? Does that sound like fascism to you?
