A Republican who Opposes Bush
From the Toledo Blade...I served 20 years in the Ohio General Assembly as a Republican. People have asked me why I oppose George W. Bush for president.
My first response is, "He is incompetent." His behavior, his bad judgment, his record, all demonstrate a failure as a president.
He certainly misled the country into a no-win war in Iraq. Following his pre-emptive invasion, he totally misjudged the consequences of his action. He made a bad situation worse, fomenting widespread terrorism, all done with a frightful loss of lives and money.
Relative to this is what the Bush people call "collateral damage," i.e. a wanton destruction of property and killing and maiming of untold thousands of innocents, thus creating a deep and lasting hatred.
Often people vote from habit or party loyalty. I believe that in this election of 2004 there are greater considerations and all voters should ask themselves:
Are we better off than four years ago?
Are we safer?
Is our economy stronger?
To me the answers are clear. That is why I support John Kerry for president.

Sign up and get a free ipod!
The free Ipod offer is legit. Granted, it's a pyramid marketing scheme, you get five friends to sign up, you participate in an offer, you get a free ipod. But hey, it's a free Ipod, and if you have an email address that you send spam to, you're all set. If you don't, I recommend Gmail, and if you need an invite to gmail, let me know.You wanna try it? Click here.
You will get spammed, so provide your "spam catcher" email address.

The onion publishes a real news article, 3 1/2 years early!
I love the onion, I mean who doesn't? The point counterpoint between the receptionist and the computer... the "holy fucking shit" 9-11 coverage, smoov B, the homeboy accountant at midstate office with his letter opener of death who's name escapes me this morning, and many many more. The onion, like the daily show, has been delivering funny, fake news for years. I guess they've decided to reevaluate a news story they had around W's inauguration and realized they were telling the truth. The onion, funny and psychic. Who knew?09.08.04 6:25am(0 comments)
