    Dear President Bush:

    As you are no doubt aware by now, you have been manipulated by your own party. Now, things are getting out of control. These things that are happening, you have no direct control over them. You hear about them after the fact. They tell you that the police were just doing their duty, just enforcing the law. But things don't sound and smell right, do they Mr. President?

    Now, what I'm about to say will be very difficult to accept, but in your heart, you know that you must do what is right for the future of the country. And that is the future that *you*, Mr. President Bush, that *you* know, in *your* heart, what is really best in the long term for the future of the United States of America, and ultimately, the entire planet.

    Is it the mess that we have today, that has been created by forces beyond your control, or will it be a future that has a 'Fair and Balanced' America because life is 'Fair and Balanced' for the citizens?

    Or, will you allow these forces to continue down the dangerous path leading to disaster?

    Mr. President Bush, you *know* in your heart that things are just not right. You know that you have been lied to by your advisors.

    Mr. President, the truly honourable action in this situation, is to anounce on national TV on November 1st that you realize these things, and that the best course of action for the entire country would be for everyone to vote for Senator Kerry the next day.

    I'm sure you will sleep better at night.

    Sincerely,
    SpaceLifeForm

    Excellent post.

    Let's see how long it takes for you to get modded down as "offtopic", "flamebait", or "troll," though, because appearantly, at slashdot, we subscribe to the last definition of evil and anything that challenges that assumption MUST be wrong.

    Read my message history some time. I don't even like Bush, but I get modded down if I even try to combat the "Bush == stupid, evil, brilliant (see: stupid) mastermind behind a new world order"-mindset.
