Subject: I just can't figure it out....

I'm not a political expert nor am I wealthy. I'm just your average Joe who is
concerned with the future of this country.

I can not for the life of me figure out how Bush can have 39% in the polls. 
1) Have these 39% been in a cave?

2) Have they been on vacation out of the country for the past 4 years?

3) Are they all extremely wealthy? (At the onset of the 80's, Congress went
along with the Reagan-Bush "voodoo" supply-side economics, making the biggest
tax cut in history, and slashing social-service spending. The biggest
benefactors were the rich. The share of the top 1 per cent almost doubled, from
20% in 1979 to 36% in 1989)

4) Ignorance?

5) That 39% really give a sh*t about "family values?". Just WHAT IS a family
value? And who is Bush & Company to tell me how I raise my beloved family?! Ah
yes... the "family value" gimmick. Since my dingbat VP Danny made some stupid
comment regarding a fictional TV character, we'll just work that whole theme
into the convention. Good idea boys!

6) These 39% perhaps really believe the line blaming this whole mess on the
Democratic congress! If the Democratic congress are all to blame, how come we
never heard ole Ronnie complaining about them? Oh it seems *HE* was able to
handle them, huh? Then maybe we need a president who COULD handle our evil
congress. COME ON! Can't you people see through this fabrication?! This guy is
DESPERATE!

Well what about the House rubber check scandal you say? FACT: The *top*
bad-check artist was former GOP Congressman Tommy Robinson (R-Ark) with 996 to
his credit. Other GOP standouts include Robert Davis (R-Mich) with 878 and Vin
Weber (R-Minn). FACT: The total number of rubber GOP checks was SIX THOUSAND,
FOUR HUNDRED AND FOURTY-SEVEN (6,447) checks! As for those who bounced *no*
checks, the Democrats edged out the Republicans 89 to 77!

Bill Clinton is definitely not the best person for the job, but Bush is
DEFINITELY the WRONG person for the job. He's proved it in the past 4 years.
And I can not understand how there could be 1 single person in the United
States who can not see what damage the Reagan-Bush gang have done to this
beloved country even on the simplest of scales.

Think back 12 years ago. Do you remember the once elegant Grand Central Station
in Manhattan? Have you been there recently? The place stinks of urine, and
there are bums asleep in every nook and cranny of the place. It's a sewer. This
scene is being replayed in every town and city across America!

Think back 12 years ago. Do you remember how nice it was to take a walk around
the neighborhood on a warm summer night? To do that now would almost be suicide
in most major towns and cities. I live in an honest hard working neighborhood
yet we hear gunfire a few blocks away almost nightly. This NEVER happened 12
years ago. Ever!

Think back 12 years ago. Do you remember our streets and bridges being in the
state of disrepair they are now?

I could go on all night. You people (and I am addressing those 39%) must
understand that you have been lied to. You've been had! Simple as that. These
guys say jump and you all say.. well...duh.. alright, how high? It's pathetic. 
All these little catch phrases. "A Thousand Points of Light", "Just Say No"
(which I understand has been adopted by the Clinton campaign and changed to
"Just SPELL No"). You simply can not "Just Say No to Drugs" out one side of
your mouth, and then lay off half your police department due to cutbacks in
federal aid and expect the problem to dissapear. My three year old niece could
tell you that!

I give up. Good night.
