Dear Friends,
I was going to write you a letter about what a pathetic liar George W
Bush is - but then I figured, hey, why waste your time telling you
something you already know!
You already know that his planned invasion of Iraq is a ruse meant to
distract the public from the real issues, those issues being the
following:
1. The number of people unemployed since he "took" office has risen by
35percent.
2. We had a federal SURPLUS of $281 billion when he was inaugurated;
today we have a DEFICIT of $157 billion.
3. TWO MILLION jobs have been eliminated since Bush began his
occupation of the Oval Office.
4. The stock market is down 34 percent since January of 2001.
5. Another 1.4 million people now have NO health insurance, making it a
total of over 41 million Americans who can't afford to get sick.
6. Only 13 corporate crooks out of HUNDREDS have been indicted, and
none of them have been the close personal friends of Mr Bush.
THOSE are the real issues facing us, not some phony excuse for a war.
But, like I said, you already know that. You know that Bush is lying
through his smirk when he says Iraq has "weapons of mass destruction".
He has not offered one shred of evidence to prove this. Not one! You
know he is lying when he says that there is a "connection" between
Saddam and bin Laden.
Even members of his own administration have admitted that is not true.
It's just one lie after another, and I applaud those three congressmen
who went to Iraq this last week and told it like it is - and demanded
that the sanctions which have already killed a half-million Iraqi
children be ended.
Senator Trent Lott said "they should come home and keep their mouths
shut." I say, we need more damn Democrats with that kind of courage and
with mouths like that!
Which brings me to the real point of this letter. The Democrats.
I have never seen a more lame bunch of cowards and appeasers in my
life. They are ready to bow down before Bush and give him what he wants
to wage war against Iraq. This pathetic excuse of a party is an
embarrassment to us all.
The fact that they let Robert Torricelli run for re-election in New
Jersey, knowing how dirty he was, shows just how capable they are of
handing the Senate over to Bush and the Republicans come November.
They have blown it over and over again, and lots of good people I know
who keep putting their faith in the Democrats are just giving up - and
that isthe worst thing to happen in a free society.
What are we going to do? Left to their own devices, the Democrats will
not only hand both the House and the Senate to the Republicans in
November, they will guarantee that Bush gets his second undeserved term
in 2004.
What a disgrace!
We must not let that happen. This year's election was theirs for the
taking. Just look at the state of the union Bush gave us: Bush cronies
caught stealing from the corporate till, Bush and Cheney caught
breaking the law in the '90s, the economy in the toilet, and Bush
failing to do the only real job he had to do since 9/11: Get bin Laden!
What a disgrace!
Yet the Democrats could not even find enough candidates to offer a REAL
challenge to the Republicans in nearly 200 House districts for the
November 5 elections. What an appalling excuse of a party.
OK, I know, there is not much we can do about this now. But we all need
to get busy and ensure that this whole rotten system is rocked by the
disgruntled millions come election day 2004. Otherwise, we have no
right to
complain.
In the meantime, we must stop the Bush attack on Iraq. We must find out
now, as W says, "who is wid us and who is agin us".
