does anyone need a reason to not vote for bush?
i got a flyer, 40 reasons to hate bush, and i'm going to put them up here.

ahem:
1. the national debt under bush jr. has increased so drastically that the average american's estimated share of national debt will be an astronomical $24,000--compared to $500 when dubya first took office.
2. under bush jr, there are now 43 million americans with no health insurance.
3. responsible for an unemployment rate of 6%, there are now 9 million people out of work in america--3.3 million more than when bush took office.
4. he cut healthcare benefits for war veterans.
5. bush jr. deserted his unit during vietnam and was reportedly awol for over a year from his assigned unit: the texas air national guard, or as it's referred to by other military outfits, the "champagne division".
6. despite a 13% unemployment rate among those aged 16-24, bush jr. proposed to eliminate youth opportunity grants--a program that provides job training to them nation's youth. a $225M program in 2002 is now being done away with so bush can have more money for iraq.
7. he cut funding for 375,000 low income college students and reduced pell grant amounts to such a severe degree that it effectively caused 84,000 students to no longer to be eligible for pell grants. pell amounts have been overall reduced for 1.5 million students...it's safe to say that the bush daughters aren't eligible for financial aid, so this won't affect the opulent lives of anyone bush jr. may know.
8. withdrew from the international criminal court.
9. first president in us history to refuse united nations election inspectors (during the 2002 elections).
10. all-time us (and world) record holder for most corporate campaign donations.
well there you go, that was 10 of them, thirty more are coming sometime.
