Republicans can’t handle the truth

I totally agree with letter the Sept. 12 letter about “Fahrenheit 911” being truthful (“Bush did lie about reasons for war”). The problem with Republicans is that they can’t handle the truth and the truth is we have a moron for a president and Cheney is his tutor – or is that tooter? I think these guys were on radio years ago; they went by the names Charley McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd. They were dummies then too, weren’t they?

The word that describes this administration best is fascist. Look it up in the dictionary.

Recently Cheney told a reporter that even if he had known that Iraq did not house weapons of mass destruction he would have still invaded Iraq. That proves to me the war was about Iraqi oil and making Haliburton rich. I am sure this was planned well before 9/11 and when Cheney is forced to turn over his notes of meetings with energy officials this will be affirmed.

I have come to the conclusion that Republicans are like sheep following their leader, even if he leads them over a cliff. Well, I say to them baa humbug, if you can’t stand the Fahrenheit, stay out of the kitchen.
