Dick
Cheney And George Bush By The Facts
I really am going to let
the facts speak for themselves this
week. I could go on and on about Bush
and his Limp minded sidekick. But I
will let the simple facts speak for
themselves.
This is an insane man who has nothing
but Jesus Christ on his mind. His father
and mother have handed him everything
he got to him. Made it through a farce
of an election. Bankrupted two companies
that were given to him. And wants the
rest of us to live a Christian way of
life in this country of ours.
Let us live and govern us the way it
was supposed to be. Why is it what the
people want they cannot have? What happen
here in this country? I love my country
and always will. But it is completely
disgusting how our Government (which
is full very old out of touch men) runs
this country as they see fit.
If you look at things in a whole we
don’t know a thing about any of
these guys except for what the media
decides we see. In which supports certain
candidates so we see what spin they
want us to. We have a president in office
that basically controls a majority of
the airwaves with his buddies from Clear
Channel. So we hear what he wants and
deems fit.
The country in a whole is falling apart
quicker then anyone could have expected
or even seen. And in the center of this
all you see for Bush’s campaign
on T.V. is ads about the war. Which
is great Hell I am glad we invaded when
we did. But this sounds like the guy
who rides his 300 game in bowling for
the rest of his life. All you have to
brag about is terror, which is pretty
sad. And using the Trade Center as a
crutch to the voters shows me what kind
of an idiot you are.
So lets begin.
