Dear (Formerly-Enthusiastic) Bush Supporters:

Dear Former Bush Supporters:
Please forgive me for not having written in a while, but with all of the
brouhaha surrounding the primaries, I’m afraid I have been remiss in keeping in
touch with my friends on the other side of the aisle.
I know that you and I have had our differences over the past seven-plus years,
but that’s all blood under the bridge now, so I just wanted to drop a line and
catch up on things.
So ... here we all are, as a citizenry, a nation, a people. Whadda ya think?
The economy is tanking, and people are losing their homes, their health
insurance, their jobs – you know, the jobs that you insisted would be plentiful
once Georgie got going, the old ones that have disappeared and the new ones that
never materialized.
The price of filling-up at the pump has skyrocketed, along with the cost of
food, heating your home, sending your kids to college, and just about everything
else.
Hey, remember when we all used to talk about giving our kids a better life than
we had? Those were the days, huh? That was before your fiscally-responsible
Republican president plunged the country into a debt that not only our kids, but
our great-grandkids will be saddled with for decades. At this rate, they won’t
even be able to afford a one-way ticket to India or China in order to find what
used to be a good ol’ American job.
One thing I can’t argue with is your assertions about the phony War on Terror
– I admit it; you were right all along. Georgie’s policies have been wildly
successful in encouraging more anti-American sentiment than even I could have
imagined, not to mention the upsurge in recruitment to “organizations” like Al
Qadea. I don’t know how I could have missed his obvious efforts to ensure we
won’t be running out of terrorists any time soon.
I must say I am surprised that after your initial rallying around the War in
Iraq, so many of you are now singing a completely different tune. Makes me
harken back to the days when I was a traitor because I said it would all
end badly, and you were the patriot because you knew victory was just
around that next corner. Last poll I checked, the majority of Americans think
Iraq is a disaster and want out NOW. Have you changed your mind – or are you
just lying to the pollsters as a goof? If those WMDs hadn’t been found, this
whole misadventure would have been a total disaster, wouldn’t you say?
I know I’m waxing nostalgic here, but remember when you were telling me how
great things were going to be under the fine Christian leadership of W? Good
God, that’s one we can all chuckle about now. Man o man, who knew he’d
turn out to be such a lying, warmongering, murdering torturer! So funny how
things come out in the end, huh?
But ya gotta give right when it comes to the bucks. Sure there’s the billions
spent in Iraq, and the billions gone missin’ on W’s watch, the millions
wasted on the embassy in Baghdad, yadda yadda. But the CEOs of our fine American
corporations are earning up to ten times what they were before this
administration got into office, so it’s not all bad news. Some people
are doing great, no doubt about it. It’s just too bad you aren’t one of
them.
But all in all, I’m sure you don’t regret your enthusiasm for lil’ George. Yeah,
yeah, so he didn’t bring dignity back to Washington, his buffoonery is legendary
in a world that no longer respects our country, his ignorance is only matched by
his inability to speak coherently, our country is locked in a quagmire in Iraq
that has led to increased volatility in the ME, we have thousands of dead troops
and over a million Iraqi casualties, our military is broken, our country is flat
broke and more polluted than ever, our manufacturing sector is all but gone, and
we are inundated with products from other countries that are cheap due to slave
labour and child labour – and the fact that those products are poisoning our
kids and killing our pets is of no concern to the administration that promised
to Keep America Safe.
So, like I said, I just wanted to check in with all of you, and ask the big
question with respect to that Bush guy who you loved so much, you voted
for him not once, but twice: How’s that working out for you?
