I mean, how may more reasons do you need to vote for Kerry. For Cry yi, all Nixon did was bomb Cambodia and hire some thugs to break into an office. At least he created the EPA and OSHA. I'm getting a headache.

1. quite a list -

just boggles the mind that the squatter is @ 50% (or so the polls report).

Any ONE of the items listed is reason enough not 2 vote 4 the rat bastard but U have 28 - which is where his numbers should be.

2. I've stated it before... it's not about policy with these retards

it's about wedge issues.

Some people would rather go poor than see gay marriage and abortion.

3. Might be great to post this in local newspaper for all to see.. n/t

[loveable liberal]

5. wanted to bounce it off du'ers first to see how it looks

the first 3 I can probably combine, but I do think I'll submit it to the local fishwrapper.

9. I hope you can submit it somewhere...we need to do all we can

to get these types of facts out there... I'm not at all sure facts are getting to the average joe otherwise. *sigh*

Thanks for your efforts. :thumbsup:

4. There's a whole subset of the population

(members of suburban megachurches and listeners of rightwing talk radio) who live in total information environments. They never even HEAR of any of this stuff, because their "news" sources fail to mention it. They just go on and on about how Bush is "a fine Christian leader who will put those gays in their place" (megachurch members) or how Bush is "a fearless leader who will kick terrorist ass" (rightwing talk radio listeners).

6. It makes one's head spin, doesn't it?

People say they like Bush 'because you can trust him', yet he is renowned for his mendacity.
He is 'a good wartime president' yet has never seen combat, and avoided much of his military service.
They say he's done a good job on the war on terror, yet OBL still remains at large. Hell, I've done as good of a job at finding OBL as Bush, and I did it cheaper. Does this mean the Noodleboy should be prez?

7. I see the seeds of a letter to the editor there

8. The Strib has me flagged
