Been watching the R.N.C. Convention??? It's scary how the Republicans have attempted to portray a party that they are NOT. They have strategically placed minorities , to be "on-camera". They have speeches by their "token-black-guy", "token-woman", and the "warm-fuzzy" speeches by the Bush children. ..... :) :) :) They even had a "DEMOCRAT" ! One Zell Miller, former Democrat, spoke out against Kerry. It seems that the Republicans too KNOW HOW TO "FLIP-FLOP"!! Not one speaker has yet mentiones anything about "issues". They have ALL made personal attacks against Kerry; and vague references to such concepts as: "vision", "trust", "patriotism", etc. How odd, that they claim these concepts, when Bush has the LEAST "vision",& "trust", and uses "patriotism" for VERY twisted agendas. Exactly HOW MUCH MONEY HAS HALLIBURTON MADE FROM THIS WAR??? Republican speakers never faill to mention the "thousand" of victims of Saddam Hussein; but NEVER ADMIT TO THE 12,000+ casualties that were victims of Bush's War. How is it justifiable to kill 12,000 people in Iraq; when Saudi terrorists killed 2300 people on 9-11? I guess Bush has forgotten the part about "Thou Shall Not Kill"; while claiming to be a "Christian". The Convention attempts to project a "warm-fuzzy" image of a party that reresents ALL Americans; while they are ACTUALLY a party of the "corporate-elite", and the "Ultra-rich".... TRULY a wolf-in-sheep's-clothing. The "Bush-twins" appearance was a lame-attempt to put a more-human "spin" on their father. If they REALLY want to show their support for his war, they should ENLIST IN THE MILITARY, AND GO TO IRAQ!!! Viet Nam was wrong, Iraq is wrong, and Bush is WRONG!!!! Recently a plethora of anti-Bush movies, and books have surfaced. The Republican-Faithful dismiss these as "Bush-Bashing". If they are "baseless" , why are there SO MANY OF THEM??? Can you remember ANY president who deserved so much "bashing"??? The protests in New York City are the largest in history; yet "mainstream media" didn't mention the protestor who sat within 20 feet of Cheney. She brandished a sign that read: "Suppor Right to Life".... which later unfurled to also read" Stop the Killing in Iraq"... She was handcuffed, and carried up-side-down from the Convention. The incident was carried only by N.P.R. Democracy Now., and NONE of the major networks.... ESPECIALLY FOX!! Check out a site called fundrace.org and another called opensite.org to find out who has contributed to whom. "Peace"..... Dave
