An effort in futility

Editor,

It is generally recognized that George Bush is an incorrigible liar, so his stumping around the country trying to drum up support for his failed policies is an effort in futility.

Does he not know that his cause is dead in the water and it's time to abandon ship? Or does he think he can still fool the American people into believing that he can yet deliver a prosperous nation from the ashes of a burned out failure?

The history of George Bush reveals that he has never delivered anything but a disaster everywhere he's ever been, and left wreckage behind for someone else to clean up. It all traces back to his failed oil exploration days with Arbusto and Harken Energy, which he bailed out of right after learning of its ultimate demise … a case of insider trading that he never reported to the SEC.

Then he used the money from selling those shares of stock to buy into the Texas Rangers baseball team. As part owner there, George Bush, the business tycoon that he is, traded Sammy Sosa to the Chicago Cubs. Then there was the political trump when as governor of Texas, he bankrupted the Texas treasury and left a mess for somebody else to clean up.

He claims credit for things he has never done, and he used those claims in the presidential election of 2000. It's a matter of history now how he pulled that one off.

His association with Ken Lay of Enron notoriety goes back to the mid '70s, and it's not much of a secret what a wonderful guy he is. Birds of a feather flock together. Ken Lay is such a wonderful guy that if he goes to prison for the Enron fraud he will almost certainly be pardoned.

George Bush is still trying to instill public confidence in his failed administration policy that he knows what he is doing. It appears to me that the only thing he can honestly claim is that he has won several rat races. According to Lily Tomlin, if you win, you're still a rat.

And all this doesn't even begin to address the issue of illegal immigration which George Bush is solidly in support of. Need I go on?
