There are some things you will never convince me and the great majority of Americans to believe.
One: That Bush won the 2000 elections without the hanky panky in Florida. Gore won the popular vote and also would have won Florida if they had not stopped counting. The parade between South Florida and Tallahassee carrying the ballots and the “hanging chards” debacle was truly an embarrassment. Then the asshole at the Supreme Court gave his one vote. So Bush really won by ONE FUCKING VOTE!TWO: That water-boarding is not torture
THREE: That President Bush didn’t mislead Americans and the world knowing full well there was absolutely no valid reason to go to war with Iraq. No weapons of mass destruction were found and the faulty information was tailor made to fit the needs of the war hawks. Sadly thousands of lives have been lost, both for our brave men and women in the military and for Iraqi casualties. It has also cost us a bundle from our treasury or I should say from the Chinese and others who loan us money.
FOUR: That the wealthy and the corporations who hold and control most of the wealth create jobs. They don’t and they hoard the money instead.
FIVE: That “TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS” is an effective and valid economic theory.SIX: That the Tea Bag party was and is a GRASSROOTS movement. It was funded and promoted by billionaires of the radical right persuasion following an askew ideology that was a left over from the McCarthy and John Birch Society era.
SEVEN: That the Republican Party has the best interests of the American people in mind. They are only the paid agents of the wealthy and the corporations and will act according to 
what is good for them. I am not convinced that they don’t want to worsen the unemployment problem so that our President looks bad and is not re-elected.

I am not convinced that they don’t want to worsen the unemployment problem so that our President looks bad and is not re-elected.EIGHT: That the Republican Party and the Teahadists are not xenophobic, racist and homophobic. They are also anti-women and religious fanatics panderers.
NINE: That President Obama was born outside of the United States, that he is secretly a Muslim, that he is a SOCIALIST-COMMUNIST-MARXIST.
TEN: That the Republican Party will respect that precious contract we elderly Americans made with our country while we paid into Social Security in order to have just one sliver of security in our old age. The Republicans want to do away with Social Security altogether, as well as Medicare and Medic aid.
ELEVEN: That insurance companies are in the risk business. They are in the profit making business and will deny health care and claims any way they can. They don’t produce anything, manufacture a product or even provide us with a useful service; they exist as the middle man to skim off the profits like the true parasites they are.
TWELFE: That the United States is a Christian nation. It is not, the Founding Fathers were particularly specific in delineating a separation of church and state. We are a secular, participatory democracy (?)
THIRTEEN: That corporations are people.
FOURTEEN: That thirteen year olds should be cleaning toilets and replacing bread-winning janitors. That child labor is not immoral and that if you don’t have a job it is your fault.
FIFTEEN: That government is too big or that government is the problem. Government is as big as it needs to be for a country that is the number one power in the world and government doesn’t work very well when it is in the hands of Republicans.SIXTEEN: That the Republicans are not trying to disenfranchise millions of voters and rig the elections therefore usurping the Constitution and doing their most egregious attacks on the democratic process by denying Americans the right to vote.
For these and many other reasons, which include the vitriolic nature of their rants, the hatred and division the Republicans have caused, the prospect of the continuation of racism and discrimination on the basis of race, sexual orientation or creed that I can’t consciously place my ballot in the same column as any Republican…not ever, not in a million fucking years!
