A Call For Action
10.15.04 (10:41 am)   [edit]
Time's running out. If you are afraid that Bush will be elected then join us. Join us to do more than simply vote for Kerry on November 2. We can't wait that long. We have to take the attack to the Pro-Bushers. Here's what to do.


Find a Pro-Bush web site - a blog or something - and post questions, lots of questions, every day - that call into account Bush's inaction and ineptitude. Be nice - no namecalling, no falsities, no distortions. Let's not act like Them. Just a bunch of questions from an undecided person.


Question why Bush, for someone claiming to be strong on terrorism, hasn't pursued bin Laden as well as he could of. Question the switch from Afghanistan to Iraq using false pretenses. Question th elack of plan for peace. Ask them to explain the disparity between having a plan to invade Iraq before 9/11 and the claim that Iraq invasion was due to 9/11. Question the disparity between Bush's claim that we're safer now and the increase in violence in Iraq and the increase in terrorist recruiting.


Question Bush's claim that the second term will focus on domestic issues. Why wait until the second term? As President he should have focused on all issues during his first term. That's the President's job.


Ask them to explain clearly how a Federal surplus could so quickly turn into the largest deficit ever. Trillions of dollars in swing money. Iraq accounts for $120 billion (to use Bush's numbers). Can the rest truly be due to a minor recession? Have them explain clearly as to where the trillions disappeared.


Question how Bush will now assume fiscal responsibility when for the past four years he has shown none, particularly with the Republicans in control of everything in Washington. Question how he will erase a massive deficit by tax cuts? To do so will require tax increases and/or federal cuts. Which programs will he cut? Defense? No! How about...education, social security, healthcare. How will Bush pay for all his promises?


Keep asking questions - have them explain repeatedly - and catch these people in their lies and hypocracies. By showing that there's another way to interpret Bush's actions we want to give these blowhards a glimpse of reality, make them question their views when caught in a conflict of statements.


Don't play up Kerry but simply downplay Bush. Bringing up Kerry puts you on the defensive. Let them do the explaining. Just keep attacking. All we want is for a few of them to not vote for Bush. That's right - we don't want them to necessarily vote for Kerry, we want them to not vote for Bush.


Good luck and stand firm, stand resolute! It's hard work, really hard, hard work to be anti-Bush! Remember to wipe the smirk off your face and turn your brain cells back on afterwards.
