Fellow MG owners,
I apologize for posting this to a car list, but it seemed to be very
relevant for American voters. I was going to vote for Bush (reluctantly)
but I'm having second thoughts esp. with his drunk driving problem (my wife
and child were killed by a drunk driver).

>> Over the course of the campaign for President of the United States,
several

anyone,
>> even the most loyal Republican, to dread a Bush administration.

he

got

if

his

>> According to Gail Sheehey (Vanity Fair, October, 2000) Bush's highest

>> Commissioner. Do we really want a president in the White House who REALLY
>> wants to be a baseball commissioner??
>>
>> Her article also addresses his verbal gaffes. More than likely, Mr. Bush
is
>> dyslexic and has an attention deficit disorder. His mother tutored him
>> intensively all through school because he had trouble reading. To this
day,
>> he never reads the reports that are submitted to him. He asks his aides
to
>> explain them to him, verbally. He cannot sit still for more than a
>> half-hour: meetings bore him. Is this presidential material? A spoiled
brat
>> preppy who can't sit still?
>>
>> To add to these disturbing traits, Mr. Bush tortured animals as a child.
>> According to Myriam Miedzian of the Baltimore Sun (Growing up is hard to
do,
>> 9/12/200) Mr. Bush enjoyed stuffing firecrackers into frogs from behind,
>> throwing them in the air and watching them blow up. Mr. Bush's childhood
>> friend Terry Throckmorton "openly and laughingly admits, 'We were
terrible
>> to animals'" Animal cruelty is a well-known symptom of serious
psychological
>> problems.
>>
>> In her article, she worries, "Is boy George's lack of empathy and cruelty
>> not just childhood insensitivity, but rather a personality trait still
>> present in the man? If so, we have much to be concerned about. Last year,
>> George W. Bush gave an interview to a Talk magazine reporter about the
>> execution of convicted Texas murderer Karla Faye Tucker, who became a
>> Christian after her incarceration. Mr. Bush chose to mimic the late Karla
>> Faye begging for mercy: "Please," Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock
>> desperation, 'don't kill me.'"
>>
>> It is crystal clear that Bush is a pawn of the vested interests that he
>> carries around in his back pocket (and his DNA), a man most unfit
>> psychologically, mentally and emotionally to hold the highest office in
our
>> country.
>>
>> I would have felt much safer having a contest between McCain and Gore. At
>> least if Gore didn't win, I wouldn't contemplate leaving the country!
>> Please! don't vote for Bush.
