36. To Hell With The Centrists
If the "centrists" believe that Bush is a centrist, then they're either not paying attention or they're not really a centrist. Bush's policies are leading us into disaster. The bill will come due on his massive deficits which will wreck the "recovery". Also, if these "centrists" are so in love with the idea of pre-emptive wars, then they won't have any problem with letting their kid go to Bush's next war in Iran or Syria.

Centrists are nothing more than people who have life good at the moment. They don't pay close attention to politics nor do they analyze things. They sit back and believe the lies told to them by the corporate run media.

Ron Owens is a perfect example. He gets paid a lot of money to give out his opinons. He's not going to lose his job to outsourcing. He's not going to have to face a military draft. He doesn't have to face a war. He's safe and sound in his comfortable little world, far, far, far away from the harsh realities of every day life in the U.S. His opinion carries little weight with me.


We need to nominate someone that clearly and effectively articulates our ideals, and if that person loses, so be it. We won't be held responsible when Bush's policies blow up in his face.
