Republicans: The "Moron Majority". .... Today, while riding my motorcycle, a middle-aged man in a convertable passed me. He was obviously offended by my "F**ck" Bush" sticker on my helmet. He began "Flipping-me-off"...(waving the "Presidential-One-Fingered-salute"; as seen at www.texansfortruth.com).. At the next stoplight, he screamed at me: " Kids read that shit!"; to which I replied:" Kids are dying in Iraq, thanks to Bush!". He then replied: "People like you should be over-there helping out!". I guess he thinks that decrepit, 55 year- olds are necessary in Iraq; since all the young men are being killed. I am old enough to have experienced the Viet Nam-Era Draft; hardly suitable material for the military. No doctor in America would let me "pass a physical" for service. I am the guy who would be drafted AFTER WOMEN & CHILDREN!!Another case of uninformed, narrow-minded Republican "Hate"!!..... GOT FEAR?? Johns Hopkins University yesterday released a study of "casualties-estimates" in Iraq. Their research estimates the CIVILIAN casualties to be 100,000!!!! Has anyone heard these figures in the "Media"??? ESPECIALLY FOX-NEWS???? The only network to disclose this study, was the B.B.C. .....Why are we subjected to a constant barrage of lies from the Republican Party, and have to get the truth from the internet, or foreign media?? It would seem that "corporate-interests" outweigh serious journalism. We don't have a Democracy, we have an auction!......There are an estimated 25,000 lobbyists in Washington D.C. and I'd bet that NONE of them work for you or me!! Bush has taken "lobbying " to a new extreme: He hires the lobbyists to be IN HIS CABINET!!! Bush has more "industry-insiders" in his administration, than any president in history. In the past, his conduct would have seen him "tarred & feathered, and run-out-of-town-on-a-rail". Today, he manipulates public-opinion with lies, half-truths, and distortions; commanding a nearly 50% "approval-rating"!!! THIS MUST STOP.........Dave
