If the polls are to be believed, around half the American voters are still willing to vote for Bush. 

 

Fifty years ago, even twenty years ago, the American people would have been nauseated by the filthy tactics of the Bush campaign.  Now they are responding to the below-the-belt attacks on John Kerry, and disregarding the stench rising from the dungheap of torn-up voter registrations, intimidated voters, easily-tampered-with voting machines, gerrymandered districts, and all the other foul offal of the Republican maggots.

 

What has happened to America's sense of decency and fair play?   What has happened to our sense of self-preservation?   Are we so intimidated, or mesmerized, or stupid?

 

I became very ashamed of my country when the Abu Ghraib photos came out.  More so when the revelations of Bush crimes this past summer failed to spark an impeachment movement.  Now I am horrified at the depths of depravity to which our people have sunk.  Is there no deceny left in America?
