It all comes down to this:


Bush claims that his highest priority is uniting the country in the war against terrorism. A president who would be a uniter and not a divider knows that cheap-shot politics can only further rend our nation and weaken his own ability to lead.


But Bush is NOT a uniter. He's a representative of today's Republican party, which is not about leading, nor is it about governing. It's not even about winning. It's about winning while crushing, humiliating, and then eliminating all opposition and then all dissent.

It is profoundly UN-AMERICAN, and if you vote for four more years of this bunch, YOU are also profoundly UN-AMERICAN.
