Would you buy a used car from this man?

[Joe Fields]

My folks taught me at a very early age that actions speak louder than words. As consumers we take that axiom to heart. If we buy a lemon from a used car dealer, there is a high probability that we will not go back to that dealer when it comes time to buy another car. The same is true if we go to a restaurant and the food makes us ill.

So why do Americans give our president chance after chance to con us? Especially when we are ALL aware that he cannot be trusted.
When out campaigning, Mr. Bush has the capacity (when he's not stumbling all over his words) to talk a good game - to say things the voters want to believe in. Such was the case when he recently spoke at a Veterans convention in Wisconsin, a state that is very much in play this year. During his speech to the group of veterans, Bush promised more educational benefits to reservists.

Bush has made a lot of promises to the armed forces. But the truth is that he is anything but a friend to them. Once again, actions speak louder than words. He has reduced pay for active soldiers. He has reduced veterans medical benefits - in hundreds of thousands of cases denied medical benefits to veterans all together. He has taken the patriotism of Americans who joined the armed forces to fight terrorists and stood it on it's head. Those Americans who thought they would join to fight the Taliban and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan suddenly found themselves fighting for survival in Iraq. They still don't know why they are there. And when they had a chance for leave, they were told that they would have to pay for partial airfare to get home on. What? And now the Bush administration believes it is okay to shanghai soldiers who have fulfilled their obligations into a back door draft.

So, given this record of shameful behavior toward vets, why would anyone still buy into what this man says? That's the 64,000 dollar question. But like P.T. Barnum once said, "There's a sucker born every minute." I, for one, wouldn't buy a thing from this guy.

Somebody made an exchange in their sugar bowls or something! They're getting the wrong thing on their cereal in the morning.
