This letter to the editor appeared in today's Journal Inquirer (Manchester, CT):
John Kerry did not lose this election--the American people did. Actually, only about 30% of 200 million eligible voters stabbed themselves in the back by voting for the worst president in my lifetime.
Because of an excellent job of brainwashing, manipulation of the facts, distortion of the truth, and deliberate lies about Iraq's connection to 9/11 by the Republican right-wing attack machine and Bush's brain, Karl Rove, the most evil man in America (besides Dick Cheney and Bush himself), Americans were duped into voting on cultural issues instead of focusing on the Bush administration's miserable failures.
How many more brave American soldiers will Bush continue to murder in Iraq for a lie?
How many more people will lose their jobs to outsourcing or have to take jobs for less money, thereby lowering the standard of living?
How many more people will lose their health insurance or continue to pay higher costs?
How many more terrorists will Bush create to kill our citizens?
How many more Americans will be forced into poverty and/or bankruptcy because of Bush's policies?
How much more of the environment will be destroyed because of Bush's policies?
How many more trillions of dollars in debt will Bush put on the backs of our children and grandchildren?
The deliberate misleading of the gullible into believing that Bush is a religious man was the worst part of this election.
If Bush were really pro-life, he would have been against capital punishment and he would not have murdered more than 1,100 soldiers in Iraq and 100,000 innocent Iraqi civilians.
Instead of following Christ's teachings of "Love thy neighbor," he prefers to deceive and divide a wedge between the American people to divide and conquer in order to further the misguided beliefs of narrow-minded, mean-spirited, self-centered, egotistical, arrogant, selfish, greedy, radical, right-wing Republican extremists.
My fear is that if Bush is allowed to push his agenda for the next four years, it may be too late to straighten out the destruction of the country in 2008. God help us all.
--Leonard F. Murray
