 The Shrub
Who supports the shrub? Who finances almost
all of his campaign? The religious belt

November 2 is Election Day and, just like everyone else, I am
very nervous. I have been asking myself why people would vote for
the non-elected president Bush. It just doesn't seem clear;
there is no good reason why anyone in their right mind should
vote for him. I've thought about the precarious situation
and I have an answer.
Americans are idiots. People say it all time, Europeans laugh at
them; they are the joke of the globe. The bulk of people from the
mid-west, the south everywhere basically, with the exception of
major cities like New York, L.A., or Boston, don't pay attention
to the news and what goes on in the world because nothing concerns
or bothers them.
Sure they pay attention to Iraq NOW, after New York
was desecrated and the shrub invaded Iraq. It is so sad that
it took such a horrible catastrophe to wake America up. And instead
of asking the question, who did it and WHY? We immediately went
on a hunt ‘to smoke them out.'
Maybe its me but I just think we handled it completely wrong. We
should have maintained a focus on Osama and tried to secure better
foreign policy decisions. We have ostracized every other country,
except those that are in our behinds (U.K. and Tonga) and for what?
These poor soldiers that went off to fight for this country are
dying left and right for no reason, its all in vain. I am sick
of seeing those stupid stickers that support the troops, I feel
like I should feel bad but I don't. There was no reason to
invade Iraq.
Who supports the shrub? Who finances almost all of his campaign?
The religious belt. All these churches fund his campaigns and they
have a lot of control over their members. I have always maintained
that religion is deadly. It can be so powerful and overwhelming
that people actually become blind to logic. For example, I think
this was made evident when the Taliban was allowed to take over.
When I talk to people from these religious states, wherever
they are, my words always fall on deaf ears and they refuse to
listen
to logic or reason. They are intoxicated with the shrub's
ideologies that he is going to keep us safe. How can he protect
this country when even I hate him? He doesn't even have the
capacity to immunize us from the flu.
As a result of lack of education in the U.S., people are blindly
hailing this war and its pretenses and consequently voting for
Bush this season. If you look at the map, there is more red than
blue if you look only at the colors, however, if you check the
numbers it seems a bit off because Kerry is roughly 8-10 electoral
votes behind.
 How is that possible with all that red? Because New
Yorkers and Californians have the biggest population, they carry
the most votes and have consecutively voted D. Bush does
not support education because he doesn't want his support
group to grow a brain. We are slowly turning into a police state
and we are supposed to be the enshrinement of freedom and democracy?
