Michael Moore: "The American people agree with me, not Rush."
Edited on Fri Mar-06-09 02:38 PM by kpete
Why I'm Not Now and Have Never Been the Democrats' 'Rush Limbaugh'

Posted by Michael Moore, MichaelMoore.com at 10:56 AM on March 6, 2009.

What I have believed in, and what I have stood for in these past eight years are all things which the majority of Americans believe in too.

.............................

That's the difference -- The American people agree with me, not Rush.

The American public believes that health care is a right and not a commodity.

They want tougher environmental laws and believe that global warming is real, not a myth.

They believe that the rich should be taxed more.

They want to go after the crooks on Wall Street who got us into this mess and the politicians who enabled them.

They want more money invested in education, science, technology and infrastructure -- not in more tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.

They believe that, whether Democrats or Republicans have been in power, wealthy corporations have been calling the shots for the past few decades and the American people's voices have not been heard as their country has slowly been driven into the ground. Our politicians and our media have been bought and paid for by the highest bidders and we don't trust them anymore.

Finally -- they want us to get the hell out of Iraq and to investigate the criminals who sent us there for fictitious reasons.
