Oh, my goodness
A foolish NY Times LTTE:

____________
To the Editor:

To the Nov. 11 letter writer who asked "which moral-value issue tipped the balance for you" when voting for President Bush, I respectfully respond this way:

It was this administration's decisive action to free an entire country from the torture and oppression of Saddam Hussein and provide it with an opportunity to live free and choose its own destiny.

It was Mr. Bush's decision to protect United States citizens from future acts of terrorism by removing a maniacal killer from power who had already used chemical weapons to exterminate his own people and had close ties to terrorist organizations.

It was Mr. Bush's No Child Left Behind legislation that required greater accountability of our schools to educate all our children.

It was this administration's decision to increase financing in African countries to help fight the horrific AIDS epidemic occurring there.

Those are the moral values that tipped the balance for me when I voted for Mr. Bush.

1. This very same person no doubt ever gave a second thought to Iraq
Edited on Sat Nov-13-04 11:56 PM by Straight Shooter
before bush decided to play Yosemite Sam on the world stage.

I suppose Sudan, and bush's failure to act there, has never entered this person's moral sphere of reference.

3. Bush reminds me of Wile Coyote in
the Roadrunner cartoons. No matter what he tries it explodes in his face.

7. That would be an excellent graphic.
I can't do graphics but I can just imagine it and it cracks me up.

4. Wow, doesn't anyone believe in checking their facts first anymore?
'Increased funding to Africa' was a pittance!'

The niavete of the writer is bald.

The biggest threat Saddam ever would have become was a price-gouger if he managed to fulfill his dream of M.East dominance.
We would have been his biggest customer!

6. It was Kerry's legislation
Isn't that ironic. Although you're right, Bush didn't fund it. Bush valued his base, the haves and have mores.

5. I'm Sorry, But
Is there a reason any of us are acting surprised that a Bush voter relied on ignorance and delusion upon casting his/her vote?
