anybody but bush!! please!!

A letter I received from my favorite uncle:

I listened to Meet the Press this morning, where they were discussing the polarization of the Democratic and Republican parties. The Republican position, stated by Mary Matalyn was that “Bush has a clear agenda. He’s doing something.” I have to agree with her. The Democrats have been attacking pieces of the Bush Administration and their agenda. However, when you put it all together, it’s clear that he is “doing something”. It’s easy to “do something” when you have billions to back you. The important question should be, “Is he doing the right things?”

This list was sent to me by a friend. Please pass it on to everyone you know. We can no longer depend on the media to present a clear and honest perspective. But, we can do it through e-mails. Please pass this on to everyone!
