94 Reasons to not vote for George W. Bush
http://www.orlandoweekly.com/news/Story.asp?ID=4624

Send this link to any of your friends or family who might still be interested in voting for W. This is the front page story in the Orlando Weekly that just came out today. It is exactly what the title implies.

Orlando Weekly is a free alternative newspaper. They always have a whole bunch of them right in front of the mailboxes at my apartment complex. I've grown to like the paper because there's always an article bashing Bush. They also have interesting articles that don't get published in mainstream papers and good articles on art, movies, food, and music.

1. Here's how the article begins
"It doesn't matter who you are or what you believe, George W. Bush has betrayed you, specifically and repeatedly.

Are you a law-and-order type? Then you should probably know that Bush has an arrest record (see reason No. 24). Are you a devout Christian? Millions of people just like you think Bush is defiling God's creation with his ruinous environmental policies (reason 20); and God's man on earth himself calls Bush's war wrong and immoral (reason 21). Perhaps you voted for Bush because you fondly recall the days when Republicans stood for fiscally conservative government? Those days are gone, friend (see reasons 64 to 71). Do you think of yourself as an intelligent, rational adult capable of making your own decisions about the world around you? Bush doesn't (No. 28). Maybe you're scared that the terrorists are coming, and think W. is the one who will stop them. Read reasons 1 through 16.

Unless you are the CEO of a large corporation (that donated heavily to Bush's campaign), Bush does not have your best interests at heart. Those are the facts. "

There's lots of information in it.

2. Okay, I'll be the first to say it
How on earth did they narrow it down to 94? That's almost inhuman restraint.

3. Here's what the author said..
"Consider the material below a primer, the Reader's Digest version of why you shouldn't vote for Bush. There are thousands – perhaps tens of thousands – of similar facts not included here for space reasons. Whole topics had to be cut; there's no mention of Bush's assault on civil liberties via the USA PATRIOT Act, for example, and no mention of the fact that he cannot explain why he didn't fulfill his commitment in the National Guard.

So pick a reason, any reason, and don't vote for Bush Nov. 2."
