[Vision2020] New and improved headlines

[Pat Kraut]

I must have missed something...I didn't know that Bush owned a place in the Carribean. Kerry owns a lot of places...oh, I mean his/her family does. There was as much money on both sides...the people just didn't like Kerry or his message. I saw an Editor from Newsweek this AM on TV talking about how Kerrys campaign was a mess. His crew took away his cell phone to stop him from calling 100 people to help make a decision. That was the problem. Love or hate Carl Rove he ran a tight ship and had great organization.

  All:

  Why did Bush win?  

  I suggested fear of wolves and what this symbolism implies, based on an expensive and no doubt very well thought out political ad from the Bush team, in terms of it's deep unconscious impact on the minds of Americans, but no one bit.  OK.  But to hell with Karl Rove, Gay bashing, and 9/11.  All too easy an explanation.  Now for a real far out and esoteric idea.  How about: 

  $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

  Naw, couldn't be!  I'm just a liberal complaining about the rich jealous I don't have the money to use those huge tax breaks to buy a new Caribbean condo.

  Joan tried her best to be a cynic comedian, but she couldn't break free of her strong moral feelings to totally throw all decency out the window.

  In the final analysis, Bush is about money, resources, and who gets both!  And without Bush's huge campaign coffers, no victory.  

  The American people are too busy chasing their own little piece of the material world to notice that if Bush was stripped of his money and family name and left to fend for himself he'd be stocking shelves at Walmart to get by.  People have had their brains scrambled with talk of moral certitude, faith, God (can you imagine Christ killing 100,000 Iraqis in the name of Democracy, or the Lord?), terrorism and the axis of evil, and the ruination of the family due to gay marriage.  All a bunch of propaganda to allow the big money players to run the show with their puppet in the White House.

  So what is the most powerful act possible to oppose those who dominate a political system with their financial power, that a person can consider in a system that is based on money, worships money, defines human worth in terms of money, and informs us that if we don't have money we will die in poverty with crappy health care?

  Be rich and fight money with money!

  Do I have it wrong?  Please tell me I do!
