Bush appeals to Lazy Americans who let others do their thinking
The average American just wants to live a good life, safe, sound, and a job. But something went wrong along the way to the Bank.

Too many listened to the BS of the Pubs Brainwashing unit and they sucked for the Bush deal.

Now after 4 years of Bushism, it becomes apparent a lot of Misled Sheep still haven't got the Truth and remain faithful to the Bush Cartel. I feel they are too lazy to take the time to read, to watch good TV, and to entertain opposing viewpoints for a better perspective. Slothism its called. Intellectual slothism is the ruination of this America and Bush somehow pushes for this. Just Listen to the guy... he reeks of Slothism.

1. Isn't that interesting
I just commented that it is turning into almost a full-time job, trying to put together a rational, convincing packet of information to send to my brother-in-law, who still thinks he's voting for bush. This guy is bright, loving, and cares about the world, but just CLUELESS as to the truth about bush and Kerry!!! But since he hasn't gained a clue in the last six months ("everything changed after September 11" "bush will protect us" etc) I find that I am having to spoon-feed him the truth!

If it weren't so important to get every vote for Kerry, particularly here in Wisconsin, I'd tell him to get off his dead ass and LEARN something on his own! x(

2. i am finding many people listen to their "boss's"
advice. they fear kerry's agenda and don't ask questions. though it makes me want to scream, i do not consider them sloth like. more often in fear of losing their jobs and of terrorism, these folks appear to believe that they must not question authority, that doing so is unpatriotic. "i'd rather they fight them over there" etc. the media only plays to these fears. fear and consumerism controls our pathetic masses.

5. It's funny but my husband and I just had this very conversation this
morning as we came in to work. What has happened in this country over the past few years is the direct result of the disengagement of a population too lazy to be citizens and too unwilling to engage society beyond the "I got mines" level. If it happens again, we get what we deserve, as far as I'm concerned these days.

6. Why not? The Republicans are already making sure they don't have
to lift a finger to vote.

They don't even have to vote. The Repukes are going to do it for them . . . Just ask Diebold . . .

7. They trade
Their parents, Childrens,Veterans welfare and future for prommises of school prayer, stone 10 commandments the size of hummers in Federal/State court buildings, unaborted bastards and flag protection. Small time shit that cost the repukes nothing in terms of $$$$ while continuing to pick their pockets. They never catch on, how ignorant is that?
