WHY Are Many USA Politicians • Apparently AFRAID To
Be As Moderate • As The American People?
Columnist Molly Ivans Points Out In Her Latest Column
• USA Could Use Some MODERATE Leadership
"What kind of courage does it take, for mercy's sake? The
majority of the
American people (55 percent) think the war in Iraq is a
mistake and that we
should get out. The majority (65 percent) of the American
people want
single-payer health care and are willing to pay more taxes to
get it. The
majority (86 percent) of the American people favor raising
the minimum
wage. The majority of the American people (60 percent)
favor repealing
Bush's tax cuts, or at least those that go only to the rich. The
majority (66
percent) wants to reduce the deficit not by cutting domestic
spending, but
by reducing Pentagon spending or raising taxes.
The majority (77 percent) thinks we should do "whatever it
takes" to
protect the environment. The majority (87 percent) thinks big
oil companies
are gouging consumers and would support a windfall
profits tax. That is the
center, you fools. WHO ARE YOU AFRAID OF?"

"The MINUTE someone impugns your patriotism for
opposing this war, turn
on them like a snarling dog and explain what loving your
country really
means."
