If he can fix one election I'm sure he's gonna have an even easier time as
an incumbent.

Did someone not realize that Bush does not need to care about 2004
elections? Presidents can only elected twice :p.

"YOU ARE EITHER WITH US, OR YOU ARE FIRED!"
Dear Friends,
This is Michael Moore, activist and filmaker, with an important message
to
all Americans who dont like being fooled and lied to by the assholes in
power.
I was going to write you a letter about what a pathetic liar George W,
Bush
is -- but then I figured, hey, why waste your time telling you something
you
already know!
You already know that his planned invasion of Iraq is a ruse meant to
distract the public from the real issues, those issues being the
following:
1. The number of people unemployed since he "took" office has risen by
35%.
2. We had a federal SURPLUS of $281 billion when he was inaugurated;
today
we have a DEFICIT of $157 billion.
3. TWO MILLION jobs have been eliminated since Bush began his occupation
of
the Oval Office.
4. The stock market is down 34% since January of 2001.
5. Another 1.4 million people now have NO health insurance, making it a
total of over 41 million Americans who can't afford to get sick.
6. Only 13 corporate crooks out of HUNDREDS have been indicted, and none
of
them have been the close personal friends of Mr. Bush.
THOSE are the real issues facing us, not some phony excuse for a war.
But, like I said, you already know that. You know that Bush is lying
through
his smirk when he says Iraq has "weapons of mass destruction." He has
not
offered one shred of evidence to prove this. Not one! You know he is
lying
when he says that there is a "connection" between Saddam and bin Laden.
Even
members of his own administration have admitted that is not true. It's
just
one lie after another, and I applaud those three congressmen who went to
Iraq this week and told it like it is -- and demanded that the sanctions
which have already killed a half-million Iraqi children be ended. Sen.
Trent
Lott said "they should come home and keep their mouths shut." I say, we
need
more damn Democrats with that kind of courage and with mouths like that!
Which brings me to the real point of this letter. The Democrats.
I have never seen a more lame bunch of cowards and appeasers in my life.
They are ready to bow down before Bush and give him what he wants to
wage
war against Iraq. This pathetic excuse of a party is an embarrassment to
us
all. The fact that they let Robert Torricelli run for re-election in New
Jersey, knowing how dirty he was, shows just how capable they are of
handing
the Senate over to Bush and the Republicans come November. They have
blown
it over and over again, and lots of good people I know who keep putting
their faith in the Democrats are just giving up -- and that is the worst
thing to happen in a free society.
What are we going to do? Left to their own devices, the Democrats will
not
only hand both the House and the Senate to the Republicans in November,
they
will guarantee that Bush gets his second undeserved term in 2004. We
must
not let that happen. This year's election was theirs for the taking.
Just
look at the state of the union Bush gave us: Bush cronies caught
stealing
from the corporate till, Bush and Cheney caught breaking the law in the
'90s, the economy in the toilet, and Bush failing to do the only real
job he
had to do since 9/11: Get bin Laden! What a disgrace! Yet the Democrats
could not even find enough candidates to offer a REAL challenge to the
Republicans in nearly 200 House districts for the November 5th
elections.
What an appalling excuse of a party.
OK, I know, there is not much we can do about this now. But we all need
to
get busy and ensure that this whole rotten system is rocked by the
disgruntled millions come election day 2004. Otherwise, we have no right
to
complain.
In the meantime, we must stop the Bush attack on Iraq. We must find out
now,
as W says, "who is wid us and who is agin us." I am asking each of you
to go
to
http://www.michaelmoore.com/petitions/peacepledge/index.php and sign
the
petition to the Democrats: "You're Either With Us Or You're Fired,"
informing the Democrats that whoever amongst them votes for this war, we
pledge NEVER to vote for them again. I will personally see that your
on-line
signatures are delivered to every member of Congress. Then let's figure
out
together what we can do to turn things around by 2004.
Thanks for taking the time to do this. We have no other choice.
Yours,
Michael Moore
