BUSH IS STEALING ANOTHER ELECTION
A viable democracy is predicated upon an informed electorate of independent thinkers who constantly question authority and those blabbing the media "gospel." However, it is not surprising that a lazy nation of obese junk food aficionados prefers political pabulum to incisive intellectual investigation.

One pervasive hallucination is that G.W. Bush is a "strong leader." Comparison with "strong" Presidents (Washington, Lincoln, TR, FDR, Truman, JFK, and Reagan) shows that a majority served in the military, many in combat; their military records did not "disappear;" war was a last resort and won with skill, restraint, and sensitive intelligence; each embraced and advanced science; none prostituted religion or a tragedy like 9/11 for political gain; war time Presidents saw a robust economy of American made goods; none officiated over a national convention of lies and hateful negativity; none required apologists to untangle irrational phrases; none was pictured wearing an unearned military ribbon; none tolerated the public mocking of a military medal, and none permitted an aide to compare Americans to a 10 year old child.

Mr. Bush is clearly a droll, simple minded soul lacking vision and insight who only sounds authoritative. He has led America into IraqNam; polluted the planet; bankrupted the treasury; weakened our military and cheated veterans and the middle class. His election clearly requires a voting majority of 10 year olds.

"It is this simplicity that makes the uneducated more effective than the educated when addressing popular audiences." Aristotle (Rhetoric;II:22)

2. Using 9/11 fear and paranoia as the vehicle they have promoted
bush to the position of dictator. The public is so messed up because of 9/11, they have willingly surrendered all logic and common sense and now follow this ass as their savior. This will have additional fatal consequences.Eventually the public will wake up to it, but it will be too late.

4. YES, I WROTE IT...
I wrote it and it is available in part/all to any who can use it. Being here in Mass. I can't do much with fighting the media wars.

I have other letters also available to anyone who wishes to unveil the real GW Bush.
