Letter to the Editor
I'm making it a new years resolution to be more patriotic this year by doing whatever I have to do to get Bush out of the Whitehouse and restore freedom and democracy to America.
It's been almost 4 long years since Bush stole the election. Since then we went from the biggest surplus in the history of the world to the biggest deficit in the history of the world. Peace and prosperity turned into war and poverty. Liberty and Freedom gave way to Homeland Security and the government spying on everything we do. We not send our sons to die in a war in Iraq that has turned out to be a fraud. Freedom and Patriotism are merely marketing slogans and America is shunned in the world community.
America used to be a great nation. We can restore it to the way it used to be. We can go back to the days where the president is elected by the people and not appointed by the supreme court. I want all of you to make it a new year's resolution to rebuild our nation and make America a nation of the people, by the people, and for the people.
So lets do it. The problem is, this isn't going to be a fair election. Florida 2000 was not an anomaly. We can expect the same thing in 2004 in states like Florida, Texas, and Georgia --that is, large blocks of Democrats removed from the voter lists, peculiar ballot configurations, gross undercounts in heavily Democrat districts, and then there's Diebold.
The only way to get the Bush thugs out of power is with an overwhelming victory, unquestionable in its magnitude. In a fair election, Dean could almost certainly win. Hell, maybe Kerry or Gephart could win.
But in 2004, with the press complacent, the 'opposition' party intimidated, and key states all but fixed, we need a candidate that can undermine the base that they thought they had all sewn up: the South, the military, the newly scared. If your New Year's resolution is truly to get rid of Bush, then the only honest course of action is to pull for Wes Clark.

Amen to what Marc has to say.I could go on and on about the crook and we here in America call President,but anyone who is really paying attention already knows this.I thank God my son is not in the military and being forced to occupy a country that was no threat to ours,and would have to worry about dying every second of every day.And for what? To get even for attempting to take Bush SR.out after the last Gulf war.God bless our troops,lets bring them home for good.

Posted by: Concerned american at February 10, 2004 09:29 AMI am a World War II historian, and frankly the parallels I am seeing between Bush's policies and speeches and those of Adolf Hitler are very frightening. If Bush wins again I may repatriate to Canada or Europe.

Posted by: Rameus A. at March 11, 2004 11:26 AMI am ashamed to say that I voted for Mr. Bush because I am pro-life and was thinking about the Supreme Court. I couldn't abide the Clintons and their crowd. But, not only do we now have all the well known neocons; we also have the infamous Otto Reich back in a top post. I wish I could vote for Dr. Dean this time, but I will vote for anyone but Bush. If Mr. Bush wins again, we will see more wars in the Middle East, sky-high gas and oil prices, the disappearance of the American middle-class and interest rates through the roof.

Posted by: dan at April 20, 2004 07:18 PMMy husband is in Iraq, and just lost his best friend to this war. I feel it was unnecessary and its time for a change. Any President who would take us into a war that was unnecessary and under false pretenses doesn't deserve to be re-elected, and can't possibly care about our military men and women as much as he claims to. This election isn't going to be fair, and I'm deathly afraid of Bush winning. He's steering us on a course that will push us off the cliff of disaster and we're blindly following. If we don't take the blindfolds off now, we're going to fall over the edge.
