Eight reasons for Defeating George Bush in 2004

Deficit
Unemployment
Mass Destruction
Poverty
Blunders
United Nations
Stem Cells
Honesty

Deficit - The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the federal budget deficit in 2004 will reach $442 billion -- the largest in U.S. history. Failing to veto a single bill, Bush has created a Leviathan government that consumes a fifth of our economy, and has compiled a fiscal record of startling recklessness.

Unemployment - From 1992 to 2000, more than 22 million jobs were created in the United States. Since George W. Bush assumed office, the country has lost more than a million, breaking a campaign promise to create 5 million jobs. One in six manufacturing jobs has disappeared since President Bush took the oath.

Mass Destruction - Bush's Folly began by misleading the country into invading a country that did not threaten us, did not attack us, and did not want war with us, to disarm it of WMD we have since verified that it did not have. "This war in Iraq is the greatest strategic blunder in 40 years." These are the words of conservative Pat Buchanan.

Poverty - The number of people living in poverty was greatly reduced during Bill Clinton's eight years in office. Since 2000, however, that trend has solidly reversed. The latest count under the Bush Administration Watch is that 35.9 million people (12.5% of the population) were living below the poverty line in 2003, which is up from 34.5 million (or 12.1 percent of the population) in 2002.

Blunders - The Bush Administration has committed many blunders, straining the nation's willingness to forgive a wartime president. Starting with the failure to heed (or read) the August 6th Presidential Brief "Bin Laden Determined to Attack the United States" (in New York, with commercial aircraft), George Bush has failed to apprehend Osama bin Laden, while engaging in questionable actions that have increased terrorist recruitment. However, the worst blunder was when the White House exposed the identity of an al-Qaeda double agent, Mohammad Naeem Noor Khan, during a Pakistani sting operation to capture more al-Qaeda operatives. British home secretary, David Blunkett, had "expressed displeasure in fairly severe terms" over the Bush blunder.

United Nations - Never has the international reputation of the United States been lower. In fact, U. N. Secretary General Kofi Annan has recently charged that the U.S. war on Iraq had been "illegal", bringing cheers from many nations hoping to restore the credibility of international law. This may even lead to an international trial of George Bush and Tony Blair as war criminals.

Stem Cells - Despite what the Bush campaign would have you believe, Bush ran on a campaign pledge to ban funding for embryonic stem cell research. However, when pressed by 206 members of the U.S. House, including 37 Republicans, and 58 U.S. senators, including 15 Republicans, he relented and allowed $20 million in federal funding for the research. Since this is a small fraction of what was requested, his restrictions have severely hampered research. What's more, by diverting funding for basic research and life sciences toward military research and death sciences, and sneaking no-bid government war contracts to the Haliburtons of the world, Bush has hampered U.S. technology competitiveness.

Honesty - The Bush Administration has taken mud-slinging and unapologetic lying to new heights. The Bush Administration has repeatedly lied about the threat of Iraq, the cost, and the expected outcome. Despite growing evidence to the contrary, the Bush adminstration STEADFASTLY refuses to acknowledge the extremely precarious and dangerous position that our troops are facing in Iraq. Bush has lied about the purpose of his tax cuts, about education, the environment, energy, and his own past. He has lied about the cost of Medicare. In Bush's administration, truth takes a back seat to power every time. Their ability to reinforce lies even after they've been shown, repeatedly, to be false... is what makes them world class, Olympic quality fib-tellers and con artists.
