Double Trouble
Bush's Re-Election Campaign
RECEIVED Tue., March 9, 2004
Dear Editor,
I appreciate The Austin Chronicle for the news and lifestyle information it provides; weekly I look forward to the editorials, letters from readers, and comics. Looks like we need a new strip called The Gayvernor.
President Bush launched his campaign for re-election today, proclaiming optimism that the direction in which he has led the country will produce freedom and peace. When this doublethink is deciphered, he means that he will continue to act exactly as his corporate masters dictate to enrich themselves and to impoverish the middle class, and that we can look forward to greater restriction in our daily existence and the promotion of policies which will increase violence and enshrine us within a never-ending war against an ever-abstract enemy.
It is counterproductive at this point to equate Bush with Hitler or to claim our government was complicit in the terrorist attack of 2001. It is sufficient to accurately account that Bush has exploited that tragedy at every turn and lied to us with every breath.
Voting for a third party candidate can in no way deconstruct this debacle.
