ARM YOURSELF WITH THE FACTS AND FIGURES FOR TURKEY DAY

Despite the weaked state 5 years of Bushism has inflicted on what they derisively call "the reality-based community," (be sure to read Ken's elegantly-written defense of reality from a couple days ago) I want to urge everyone to prepare for holiday get-togethers with facts and figures. I'm not suggesting killing Republicans or even beating them up. In fact, I'm not even urging you fight with them verbally. However, about a third of the country-- and not every single one of them is in backwards states like Utah and Idaho and Texas-- is delsuional when it comes to political reality and just in case you wind up in a friendly discussion with one, you should have a few easy facts at your fingertips.

When the Delusional-in-Chief compared war-hero John Murtha to Michael Moore, he was no doubt unaware that the majority of Americans agree with Moore on most issues. In poll after poll, after poll, including partisan right-wing polls, Americans feel that going to war in Iraq was a mistake, that Bush and his Regime misled us into war with lies and deception, not just incompetence, that the war should be ended and we should bring our troops home, and that Bush is no longer a trusted or believable person. Be calm and steady; you have the facts on your side. After the holidays if we all communicate with our delusional acquaintances nicely perhaps Bush's approval ratings will sink into the 20's. They are certainly headed in that direction.
