America’s national debt is more than $7 trillion and climbing, thanks to President Bush.

Troops in Iraq don’t have proper equipment and are rebelling. Iraq is being bombed to the ground, and who’s going to pay to rebuild it? Our children and grandchildren are. Bush tells us things are going well in Iraq. Blatant lies. Doesn’t this guy have access to a television or newspaper? Every day, soldiers are being killed. Jobs are being exported, the economy is not improving, almost daily we read about jobs being lost, the prescription drug bill Bush passed takes effect in 2006 and savings to the elderly are minimal.

Republican Congressman Tom DeLay, who has committed ethics violations before, tried to get a fellow congressman to vote his way in exchange for endorsing the congressman’s son in his election. The congressman refused and his son lost the election. The “leak” of the CIA agent in retaliation for her husband bucking Bush is still unaccounted for. How come Republicans can commit these crimes and get away with it?

Sen. Kerry is being crucified for “outing” Vice President Cheney’s lesbian daughter. Cheney and his wife outed their own daughter long before Kerry even mentioned it. Why are they now outraged?

Cheney and Bush relentlessly try to brainwash us with lies about Saddam Hussein being tied in with al-Qaida when everyone knows that’s not true.

Sen. Kerry can clean up this gigantic mess we’re in.
