To Bush Supporters

(2 disclaimers 1st: 1. Some of you receiving this may not be Bush supporters, 
but you might like to read it anyway; and 2. I did not write this, just passing it 
on.)

Most of you think Iraq had WMD's and that experts confirmed it. They
didn't. Most of you think Saddam and Al Qaida had a working relationship
and experts confirmed it. They didn't. Most of you think Bush supported
Kyoto. He didn't. Most of you think most nations in the world supported
us invading Iraq. They didn't. Most of you think Bush's policies on Air
and Water pollution allow less pollution than under Clinton. They're
not. Most of you think Bush supports the troops by paying them well and
supporting veterans. He doesn't. There are many more examples.

The point is this: Bush supporters don't seek the truth. You all seek to
 bend the truth to your ideology and if you can't you just omit or try
to discredit it. Doesn't that bug you?

What might you say if Kerry's grandpa funded the Nazis?
What might you say if Kerry's father armed Saddam?
What might you say if Kerry's VP did business with Saddam, Syria and Iran
 while the USA had sanctions against them? What might you say if Kerry
didn't want and resisted the 9/11 commission to investigate the most
 serious terror attack on our soil? What might you say if Kerry said "You
can't trust mainstream news sources." What might you say if Kerry claimed
to be in power because God wants him in power? What might you say if
Kerry had been president and he let Osama Bin Laden get away by not
 using our soldiers? What might you say if Kerry had not secured an ammo
dump and now our soldiers are being killed with that ammo? What might
you say if Kerry didn't allow Americans with Bush shirts or stickers into
his rallies?

You all need to take a look at the truth and make a decision from there. 
 If things were reversed and I was trying to support a Democratic
president with the record of Bush, I would have switched long ago. 
That's the difference between you and me: You'll support Bush no matter
what, and I support the best candidate no matter the party affiliation.
