Letter to the Editor
The Religious Right is angry with Bush for nominating Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court instead of someone who is clearly going to overturn abortion.They are threatening to turn against Bush like they do every time they don't get their way. But what they don't get is that Bush doesn't need them any more. He's been reelected and he can't run again. So Bush isn't appointing someone for the Religious Right - he's appointing someone for himself - someone who's going to be loyal to him personally. Bush doesn't care about abortion or religion. It's just an act. It's all fake. Both sides are always ready to stab the other in the back if they don't get what they want. They just need to learn not to believe their own lies.

There's an old saying, "The most important thing in politics is sincerity. Once you learn how to fake that you have it made." Today President Bush demonstrated that principle with a fake teleconference where Bush pretended to do an unscripted interview with troops in Iraq. However they forgot that the cameras were on while the troops were being coached as to what would be asked and what to say. A fake interview to sell a fake war to an American audience who wants to believe that they aren't being suckered into sacrificing the lives of their sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers for no reason at all. I believe that when someone has to lie that they are admitting that the truth is something other than what they are trying to get you to believe.
