3. We all need to accept the fact that whatever Bush says
means the complete opposite. So if he says he didn't know about the deal, it means he is cashing in huge on the deal.

11. You're my hero

Really. Working on a campaign is like walking blind folded on ice. You never know whether you're going in the right direction and even if you are, how far you've gone. Needless to say, slipping and hitting your ass is always a given.

Metaphors aside, there is 1,000 to 1 ratio between oral support and physical action, which at times can be demoralizing. Raah raah takes little effort, but closing the complacency gap has devolved into who raises the most money to penetrate the consciousness for 30 seconds versus real discussions on issues we all care about when we're impacted by them.

This is how our Democracy was taking away from us (erosion) and is the only way we'll take it back. Even small efforts by the many are equal to the large efforts by the few.

Thank you for helping.

10. We know they polled this and Bush came out better
If he looked like the ignorant fuck that he is.


He knew ... but I'm sure his reaming 38% loyalist (Not unlike Iraq's "insurgents") weren't too happy about it so he had no choice but to claim ignorance for that 38 percent margin.
