Bush Says One Thing but Does Another

RECEIVED Tue., Sept. 7, 2004

Dear Editor,
   Bush and his party are the kings of saying one thing on policy and doing another. This convention they have done one thing and yet in speech after speech claim another actually happened. Playing us all for fools. Oh and mocking Purple Heart veterans with Band-Aids. Cynical and ugly.
   Health care, the economy, the tax cuts, etc. Bush claims to be of the people, but if his speech was for anyone, it was for those who actually made out under his term, the rich elite. Smearing John Kerry, distorting the record, hiding from investigations. Nasty and negative.
   And I will be happy if I never have to see Bush on top of a mass grave with a bullhorn showing his leadership, when his leadership on 9/11 was to continue reading to kids and then to fly about the country leaving Cheney at the helm.
   Touted as a real Texas man, which he is not, let's finally get a brave man of character in the White House instead of a media created pretender.
