Why I’m Voting for President Bush
The President is a forthright man who not only knows what is good for America, but is willing to stand up, lie, cheat, steal, and send others to die to get it. He is a man who will keep our tax money out of the hands of the undeserving poor and ensure it goes into the coffers of our most valued citizens, the ownership class, where it belongs.

We need the war in Iraq in order to ensure the prosperity of loyal corporations like Halliburton. Only President Bush has the courage and vision necessary to prosecute this war to the end and then go on to Iran, Saudi Arabia, the Sudan and even all of South America until at last we own the oilfields of the world.

Only President Bush has the wisdom to pursue a policy of lowering taxes for the most deserving while building a trillion-dollar national debt that will forever bind the natural servant class in fealty to their rightful masters. A major benefit that arises from transferring money directly from the public coffers into the accounts of the most deserving corporations is that it reduces the temptation to divert these funds into wasteful enterprises such as public education and health care.

Public education is worse than wasteful. It is genuinely counterproductive to educate people beyond the specific skills they need for employment. Education is notorious for turning its recipients into malcontents who become resentful of their lot in life and may even refuse to conduct themselves in accordance of the needs and wishes of their owners.

Likewise, health care is a wasteful expense when squandered on the useless eaters, with the sole exception that a certain number of particularly healthy specimens from among the worthless classes may be selected for organ donation to their betters, and maintained in good health until their time comes for harvesting.

6. Good post, JR.
Edited on Tue Aug-03-04 08:39 AM by soup
Wouldn't change a word.

And-

The only thing I can think of to add to it would be a paragraph related to religion and one on civil/women's rights.

November 2nd just can't come soon enough.

edit to change a word. I'm becoming completely incoherent.

8. Except for the obvious comments like "trillion-dollar national debt"....
i've actually heard republicans speaking along these lines! It is hard to preach compassion to those who only care for themselves. Fund health care? No, it will raise MY taxes. Ect. Ect. Ect ad infinum

13. Pretty good except
Clinton gave Halliburton a no bid contract during Bosnia. You might want to leave that out.

18. At least I won't have to give up my balls.
Bush must have a pair the size of grapefruits to continue to insist he made the right choice to invade Iraq.

I was all set to be pissed off at you for this one when I saw the title but this is an excellent post...you have it pretty much wrapped up in a nice neat little package as to why we must unite and defeat Bushie the candidate of the reactionary rw.

26. Only one problem
"We" don't own the oil fields. We subsidize rich people owning the fields. Its a matter of semantics, but important.

29. The Rove Equation
Edited on Tue Aug-03-04 06:51 PM by Minnesota_Lib
"We need the war in Iraq in order to ensure the prosperity of loyal corporations like Halliburton."

The Rove equation, or how to transfer tax dollars to Republican campaign coffers.

Step 1: Start a war.

Step 2: Award millions of tax dollars through non-bid, warime "rebuilding" contracts to corporations that have political links to the administration.

Step 3: The corporations in-turn donate massive amounts of those tax dollars back to the Republican party to ensure the re-election of those that will award them still more non-bid windfall contracts in the future.

Step 4: Rinse and repeat.

31. And of course
"WE spend far too much precious money in this nation for higher education. Higher education never did a thing fer me. I prefer that our young adults spend their strongest, brightest days in our military or in the fine prison system we have arranged for them.
Bush will rescind the G.I bill so that those sniveling whiners who weren't proud to fight for Oil, er, Amirka, don't get all uppity, but come back from the war zone ready to work for minimum wage and without health insurance like Jesus sez peons are supposed to do...."
