"Four more years!!, Four more years!!, Four more years!!" chants the zombie-like Bush supporters when they face opponets of George W. Bush and his inept cronies. With less than two weeks left on the Presidental elections the Republican supports and spinmeisters are growing desperate and recently showing their dirtiest tricks. While Kerry goes in the home strech driving in the message to the people that another four years of Bush/Cheney would leave America in shambles. The Bush supporters however, are still in a fairy-tale world of the Bush administration by stating that he is a "strong and resolute" president. They also believe that having Kerry in office would destroy America. Although in reality Bush had destroyed the world. For these brainwashed zombies it is imperative to deny Kerry/Edwards from holding the Oval office.
For those who like a fairy-tale, here is one.
A long, long, time ago in 2000 B.B. (Before Bush) America was a very different place. Under a good president named Bill Clinton America was a calm happy place. Everybody had their jobs. The world was much nicer and was willing to talk to each other about their differences. It was so nice the Israelis and the Palestinians two sworn enemies in Israel was willing to speak to each other. To continue this nice peaceful existence President Clinton's Vice President Al Gore was to be his successor. Clinton was such a good president that the people kept him as president for 8 years.
There were some people called Conservative Republicans and their supporters who hated President Clinton. They hated the way Clinton handled the business of the country. Most of them were millionaires, corporate officials and religious zelots who was determined to get President Clinton out of office by trying to embarrass him any way they can. In the 90's Clinton's presidency was constantly marred by the Bimbogate scandals concocted by these people. The felt that Clinton did not represented them and what he is doing for people is a sacrilege. In the upcoming presidential elections, they needed someone who can represent them. Someone who was able to get the government to support them . They have found that person.
There was a son of a Bush named George W. Now little Georgie Dubya was from a big faraway place called Texas. In Texas he was a governor there. From the looks of him Georgie Dubya did not seem like a smart man. Little Georgie Dubya's father was Big George Bush. Big George Bush was a president and his son always looked up to him. Little Georgie tried to do everything just like his daddy. But, alas everything Little Georgie tried and tried it did not go right. Poor little Georgie it seemed everything was hard work for his little head. When Georgie became the governor of Texas he was happy. He had served two terms in office. Georgie was so proud of himself that this time he tried again to be like his dad by running for president.
Little Georgie campaigned and championed around at the country saying things to the Conservative Republicans that would love Little Georgie. " I would restore order in the White House." Georgie vowed. The people did not care for the little guy that they considered him a stupid boy but that did not stop little Georgie in any way. The people was confident that the Veep was going to win the presidency.
On election night, where the people was cheering the Veep Gore as the President. Somewhere in a place called Florida something was brewing there that profoundly changed America. Little Georgie with his little brother Jeb (who was the Governor) and their buddies sneaked in and told the press that Little Georgie that he was the new President. There was a lot of confusion among the people and the press on who was the president. For more than a month as the country pondered who was the next top guy. After that month of trying to figure who was the new president Big Bush's buddies in the Supreme Court helped his son to become the President officially. The people who supported the Veep was angry. They did not like the fact Little Georgie was the new top guy. They felt they were cheated out of there vote and the Veep was supposed to be the new top guy. Too bad for the people even with all their protests and complaints went unheard by the new presidency headed by Little Georgie. When Georgie was inaugurated as President he was a happy little boy. He was delighted and all his friends had many plans for what to for America. It did not matter to the people who did not like him as far Georgie's supporters was concerned he is now the president. And Little Georgie lived in the White House happily ever after!! The End.
Some fairy-tale huh? Since Bush has been in the White House he has ruled with disastrous results on the country. When Bush parroted Gore's pledge to save $2.5 billion dollars for saving Social Security in his campaign in 2000, with Bushes unnecessary tax cut to the rich the surplus that was going to be saved for Social Securty and important programs was completely vanished.
Bush's lieutenants in the White House are completely inept in running a country. In the months before the 9/11 attacks , the Bush administration has been receiving warnings about al-Quaeda's attempt to attack the U.S. Even former Clinton administration counterterrorism head Richard Clarke repeatedly warned them to get together and try to stop it. What did the Bush followers do about this imminent threat? Nothing. They did nothing. The Bush administration ignored all the warnings and let 9/11 happen. The August 6, 2001 Presidental Daily briefing (PDB) even warned Bush about Osama bin Laden wanted to attack the U.S.
When the 9/11 attacks happened the World was on our side for the many lives taken on that dreadful day. The World supported us we went into Afghanistan to defeat the Taliban and get bin Laden. The American people stood behind Bush for their support in getting al-Quaeda. Meanwhile when our troops was fighting the good fight in defeating al-Quaeda and the Taliban, the Bush administration was planning their two real wars: the War in Iraq and the War on the American People.
When Bush decided to attack Iraq under the guise "War on Terror" he insisted that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and he helped the terrorists. Bush insisted that with Saddam around the world was less safer and the U.S. needed to go in to Iraq and take him out. The evidence on Saddam having WMD was completely false. The World felt that U.S. case of attacking Iraq was very weak and there was no true threat. Since the Bush Crime Family did not want to any reason they decided to attack Iraq anyway with or without the World's support. This is where the U.S. went wrong and left us isolated from the World. When we invaded Iraq, Bush assured that the Iraqis were going to open up with open arms as "liberators" and they would proud of us of finally getting rid of Saddam. This rosy picture that Bush and his cohorts has painted has been marred by reality. Right now over 1100 soldiers has been killed by the al-Queda and insurgents that flowed into Iraq. The fighting between the troops and the insurgents has no end in sight. While the ongoing chaos is happening the Bush Crime Family is literally stealing from the Iraqis.
Stateside, the second Bush war that is ongoing is the War on American people. Since 9/11 the Bush administration attempts to curtail basic civil liberties via the US PATRIOT Act. I have never seen a president who has a contempt for civil liberties. Every time people has spoken out against Bush's disatorous policies his cronies stifled it. Bush and his supporters alike live in this fairy-tale fantasy world that when a dose of reality hits them they do all they can to crush it and stay in this dream world.
So are you better now than you are four years ago? Facing a massive job loss the first time in 72 years, an economy in the crapper, our civil liberties dismantled, a loss for our respect and reputation in the World, a hellhole of a disaster in Iraq with our soldiers slaughtered do you want to have four more years of the same bullshit from Bush? Are you willing to hear all the cowboy rhetoric about Iraq and the same bullshit propaganda by the ultra right-wing hacks?
I don't think so.
