GREAT article/review.
I always said that Bush lies when he talks about “family values” because you can’t possibly be FOR increasing cancerous pollution in our children’s drinking water and still support family values. You can’t claim to support family values when you actually - actively - support more lead and mercury being released into the food supply [to name a few]. That is harmful to our children, harmful to our families and thereby un-American at the most basic level. . .
I dare any Bush supporter to contradict this statement, and I look forward to any explanation you have to offer. America: love it or leave it, assholes.
