Pitch One: "Thanks George!":

As we quickly approach the November election for the President of the United States, we Americans need to look back at the past four years to the job George W. Bush has done and give thanks.

For his firm action after 9/11 and taking the fight to Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and removing the dangerous Taliban fundamentalists we say "Thanks George!"

For leaving Afghanistan and the pursuit of the known terrorist bin Laden to invade Iraq we say "Thanks George!"

For invading Iraq using faulty intelligence, for alienating allies, for "miscalculations" we say "Thanks George!"

For the 1,000 troops dead in Iraq and thousands more injured, for the $120 billion taxpayer dollars much of it unaccounted for, we say "Thanks George!"

For giving terrorists a rallying cry and making the world that much unsafer we say "Thanks George!"

For crowing about being tough on Terrorism because you overthrew a despot we say "Thanks George!"

For overthrowing a despot without a plan for rebuilding a nation we say "Thanks George!"

For trying to rebuild a nation and making it look like you're tough on Terrorism while a known terrorist still runs free we say "Thanks George!"

For the open-ended no-bid contracts to companies with convenient ties to your Administration we say "Thanks George!"

For allowing Corporations to dictate policies that further their own interests instead of benefitting America we say "Thanks George!"

For giving us larger deficits, increased military spending, and decreased Educational funding we say "Thanks George!"

For selling out the Environment to the Oil and Gas Consortiums we say "Thanks George!"

For giving us Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt about our daily lives and our childrens future we say "Thanks George!"

For showing us that it's not the color of our skin or what God we believe in but how much we donate to your campaign we say "Thanks George!"

For reassuring us that the poor will get poorer and the rich richer we say "Thanks George!"

For demonstrating that God is important only when it's your God - the Christian God - and that Religion needs to be a part of Government we say "Thanks George!"

Pitch Two: "The Compassionate President":

George W. Bush wants to be the President for all Americans however his policies may not provide for all Americans. Some Americans may have make sacrifices and if you're one of those Americans you may want to reconsider your vote for George W. Bush.

If you're poor or middle class the tax cuts Bush touts won't mean much to you.

If you're concerned about the Environment Bush's kowtowing to the oil and gas industry, allowing them to dictate Government policy in their own interests, may not be in your best interests.

If you're Jewish, Muslim, Atheist, or simply non-Christian remember Bush's ear belongs to the Conservative Christians. Bush's actions and words to get his religion as part of Government may be upsetting to your beliefs.

If you're a Scientist or believe in the validity and utility of Science as opposed to the murky interpretations of Faith Bush's push away from using one's intellect to rely on intuition may insult your self-esteem.

If you're a Senior - retired or soon to be retired - take heart that you may need to work longer if not to afford the increase in Medicare costs then simply to support Bush's plan to offset his huge deficit by putting off Social Security payments.

If you're a teenager and scared by the looming financial catastrophe that is the Federal Deficit take heart that Bush will likely institute a draft to support his open-ended War on Terror. Simply, you may not live long enough for the catastrophe to affect you.

If you're an American and believe that Truth and Freedom are two of our most important principles then, despite his words, Bush may make you concerned. His actions - increased secrecy for his Administration, decreased Freedom for America - belie that he doesn't practice what he preaches.

If you're concerned about Safety and the threat from Terrorism remember Bush and his Administration sidelined the pursuit of Osama bin Laden for easier pickings.

Who's left?
