Vote or Die

Ashcroft is at war with porn. Justice department launches first obscenity charges in ten years. Promises more to come.Documented

You like to read and write porn? Tough luck, the government knows best.

Bush doesn't care about Osama Bin Laden.

"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02

Bush's priority is to keep people afraid to assure his reelection. That's why we didn't get Pakistan to close their border. That's why it was the Northern Alliance instead of American troops going after Bin Laden in Afghanistan.

Bush never attended a funeral for any of our troops killed in Iraq or Afghanistan.

The future of the court is also at stake. Abortions? Hell, now they're worried about birth control pills. They kill potential life too. Article

Bush also used fake 'yellow cake' documents to trick us into an unnecessary war. 1100 Americans have died and over 100,000 Iraqis. After Bush's WMD's turned out to be the bullshit that the intelligence community said it was, he switched stories, and said he was bringing democracy to the middle east. However, he pulls general Jay Garner out for promising to have elections BEFORE Bush's supporters had a chance to privatize Iraq.

Not feeling very secure? Security isn't one of Bush's strong points. Neither is Social Security. He'd like to privatize it you know. Investing in stocks is nice, but when you put too much money in the stock market, people end up having a lot of their potential well being locked up in very expensive pieces of paper.
Privatize Social Security


Bush also believes that outsourcing American jobs is healthy for our economy. Healthy for whom? The rich fat cats who don't have to pay taxes anyway? More on this subject



I will be out turning out the vote in my county today. I urge you to do the same. If you can't, then I urge you vote. It's important this time. It's important as hell.

So get your ass out and vote!

The most ridiculous crime that human beings have legislated out of nothing is balsphemy, with obscenity and indecent exposure fighting it out for second and third place.

How can I get this job?

"Either way, Nguyen and his co-workers spend their days scouring the Internet for the most obscene material, following leads sent in by citizens and tracking pornographers operating under different names. The job wears on them all, day after day, so much so that the obscenity division has recently set up in-house counseling for them to talk about what they're seeing and how it is affecting them.

"This stuff isn't the easiest to deal with," Nguyen said recently while at his computer. "But I think we're going after the bad guys and we're making a difference, and that's what makes it worthwhile.""

If they're going after child porn, I hope they nail every friggin' one of them, but knowing this outfit they won't stop there.

I will never understand how a group like the Republican Party that constantly says there is too much government in people lives seems to be so involved in legislating morals and behavior.

Smoking, woman's right to choose, sexual orienatation, sexual behavior between consenting adults, porn. You name it, they're against it.

The problem is that the only legitimate alternative is a pandering pack of scum bags as well, whose main concern is getting reelected while pretending they care about us simple folk.

F#*# them all. If you live where your vote doesn't count because your state has already been colored blue or red and has been since the beginning, vote for a minor party candidate.

You won't get the thrill of victory, but you won't feel quite as guilty when this country goes further into the crapper, which it will regardless of the winner. Happy Election Day!
