"Please Ignore Reality & Vote for George W. Bush" (Need Some Help, Please)
Edited on Fri Oct-29-04 04:30 PM by IdaBriggs
I am working on my "last" e-mail to those who support George W. Bush for President. I am attempting to document every single line in the following TEN arguments (I've got four done). Can I get some help, please?

Please Ignore Reality & Vote for George W. Bush

1) Prior to 9/11 George W. Bush dismantled our existing anti-terrorism systems, ignored warnings of impending terrorist attacks, and tried to cut the FBI counter-terrorism budget by $65 Million (12%). = LINKS DONE

2) George W. Bush does not believe abortion laws should contain exceptions for the life or health of the mother, which means 2% of all pregnancies, being ectopic, become automatic death sentences. Also, abortions have INCREASED during George W. Bush's tenure as President. = LINKS DONE

3) George W. Bush's administration has publicly identified two undercover CIA operatives (which is considered treason), one a specialist in “weapons of mass destruction” and the other an Al-Qaeda mole, but George W. Bush doesn’t know which of his “trusted advisors” did it, so no one has been fired. But George W. Bush has testified (with the help of a personal criminal attorney) in front of a Grand Jury on the subject. = LINKS DONE

4) George W. Bush's campaign has participated in one of the worst smears ever perpetuated in presidential politics by trying to paint a decorated combat veteran as a “traitorous communist” who apparently escaped detection while publicly testifying “war is bad” before Congress on national television and having been a public figure for the last thirty-five years. = LINKS DONE

5) George W. Bush has wracked up record setting deficits and raided the social security trust to pay for it. ???

6) George W. Bush keeps confusing “spending money” (which goes to his corporate cronies and Washington lobbyists) with “making America safer” when 95% of the containers coming into this country still aren’t being inspected, 8000+ illegal aliens are crossing the borders daily, an airline “do not fly list” targets musicians and politicians instead of terrorists, and a huge chunk of our National Guard and Military Reserves are currently overseas. ???

7) George W. Bush threatened to VETO a supplemental spending bill for the Troops in Iraq unless it included a $27 BILLION “slush fund” for Halliburton. George W. Bush has cut services for veterans, left National Guard and military reserve families without medical insurance, and presided over the largest loss of military personnel since the Vietnam War. ???

8) George W. Bush was wrong about Iraq being an imminent threat; they had no weapons of mass destruction, and were unable to prove it because they were being jerked around by people who were making money off of their “Oil for Food” program. They had refused to support Al-Qaeda and had nothing to do with September 11, 2001. ???

9) George W. Bush's environmental record is best described as “disastrous” and what he’s done to the meat inspectors at the USDA is nearly unbelievable. (Five people in New Jersey are dead from “mad cow” as of this writing, while e-coli and lysteria outbreaks are on the rise due to the “new rules” regarding fecal matter on meat.) ???

10) George W. Bush has been unable to capture Osama bin Ladin in three years, despite a world wide manhunt and “doesn’t think about him much anymore.” George W. Bush will not admit to errors publicly. George W. Bush really believes everything in Iraq is going well. George W. Bush allowed AK-47s back on our streets, didn’t fund the 100,000 COPS program, and hasn’t done anything to fix the rising cost of health care. George W. Bush is either a nice guy who isn’t in touch with reality, or a self-serving liar, neither of which makes a good president, but all of this is beside the point because –

George W. Bush Needs Stupid, Uninformed, Pro-Corruption Americans to Ignore Reality So He Can Stay in Power.

Can he count on YOUR vote?

3. disagree...
Many hardcore RWers view the Patriot Act as protective, and are not bothered by innocents swept up in it. Same people who don't mind a few innocent lethal injections.

10. oh yeah..
I noticed that you spelled Osama's name as Osama bin Ladin. Isn't it bin Laden, with an "e"? Small thing, but you want to be as professional as possible.
