Sorry, George, I'm In the Majority ...from Michael Moore
Edited on Sat Nov-19-05 01:09 AM by Kire

Dear Mr. Bush:

I would like to extend my hand and invite you to join us, the mainstream American majority. We, the people -- that's the majority of the people -- share these majority opinions:

1. Going to war was a mistake -- a big mistake. (link)

2. You and your administration misled us into this war. (link)

3. We want the war ended and our troops brought home. (link)

4. We don't trust you. (link)

Now, I know this is a bitter pill to swallow. Iraq was going to be your great legacy. Now, it's just your legacy. It didn't have to end up this way.

This week, when Republicans and conservative Democrats started jumping ship, you lashed out at them. You thought the most damning thing you could say to them was that they were "endorsing the policy positions of Michael Moore and the extreme liberal wing of the Democratic party." I mean, is that the best you can do to persuade them to stick with you -- compare them to me? You gotta come up with a better villain. For heaven's sakes, you had a hundred-plus million other Americans who think the same way I do -- and you could have picked on any one of them!

But hey, why not cut out the name-calling and the smearing and just do the obvious thing: Come join the majority! Be one of us, your fellow Americans! Is it really that hard? Is there really any other choice? George, take a walk on the wild side!

Your loyal representative from the majority,

Michael Moore

1. Yeah, Shrubya..
Pick on me! I'm a proud and loud liberal and sometimes Michael Moore says something I agree with.

You never do.

2. funny, and sadly true. bushie has gone and marginalized himself.

4. I really don't think
that a terror stunt will help him. This far into his reign, a terror stunt would be worse for him than Katrina, after all, electing him was supposed to "keep us safe" remember? :eyes:

3. Anyone still think Moore should stay quiet?
I'm glad he represents my views. Tell it like it is Mike, loudly and often!

11. LOL! Thank you for reminding me of that moment
when world leaders were sitting in great dignity at a funeral, and in their midst was "Nanook (or Nan-crook) of the North"!

9. The WH's attempt to discredit people by aligning them
with Moore or DU is backfiring. This strategy is looking as pathetic as McCarthy's attempt to discredit people be aligning with Communism.
