Message: George W. Bush is a โpopulistโ who sides with the โlittle guyโ against Wall Street, is deeply concerned about the plight of the nationรขโฌโขs poor, and seeks balanced economic growth that serves the entire US population.
Chokwadi: Bush has consistently supported the interests of his class brethren in the corporate plutocracy. He has enacted and advocates further tax cuts that give the lionรขโฌโขs share of benefits to the top ten percent of โearners,โ do nothing to stimulate economic growth (as even conservative economists acknowledge), and undermine social programs needed by the nationรขโฌโขs rising number of poor.
mashoko: As โa uniter, not a divider,โ George W. Bush is strongly committed to racial justice in America and seeks to heal the racial rift in this nation. In line with Martin Luther Kingรขโฌโขs belief in color-blind equality, he is opposed to the use of race for political purposes.
Chokwadi: Bush appointed a Confederacy enthusiast as Attorney General and refuses to apologize to African-Americans for the crime and continuing legacy of slavery. He has needlessly antagonized African-Americans by making racist federal judiciary nominations and filing a White House brief in the Supreme Court case against the University of Michiganรขโฌโขs affirmative action program, which he falsely accuses of mandating racial โquotas.โ His regressive domestic and imperial foreign policy agendas inflict disproportionate pain on African-Americans and people of color at home and abroad. The White House routinely uses race for political purposes, spinning the presence of two African Americans in key foreign policy positions as proof of its racial sensitivity
Message: The likely perpetrators of the September 2001 terror attacks (al Qaeda) attacked the World Trade Center and the Pentagon because they hate the โfreedomsโ enjoyed by people in American and Western โcivilization.โ
chokwadi: The likely perpetrators are largely indifferent to domestic US society. Their real issues with America relate fundamentally to Americaรขโฌโขs intrusive, imperial and oil-driven foreign policy in the Middle East, which is why European nations (with the possible exception of American lapdog Britain) are much less likely to be targeted by terrorists. Their real goals are to spark jihad within the Middle East and to overthrow Arab regimes they see as insufficiently Muslim. Interestingly, the Bush administration has used 9-11 to roll back the very freedoms that it falsely accuses the terrorists of targeting.
Message: The Iraq regime and its weapons of mass destruction (WMD) present a clear, present and highly significant danger to the American people, making a new American โwarโ for regime change necessary in Iraq. Iraq is the single greatest threat to world peace and the American people by far.
chokwadi: The Iraqi regime is effectively disarmed and possesses little if any threat to its own neighbors, much less the US. Its โleaderโ Saddam is a vicious dictator but thereรขโฌโขs nothing in his past record to indicate that he is suicidal, which he would have to be to use weapons of mass destruction against Americans or his neighbors. North Koreaรขโฌโขs declared intention to begin mass production of nuclear weapons is a much greater threat to world peace and American security. The single most important such threat at present is the bellicose imperial unilateralism of the worldรขโฌโขs leading manufacturer, possessor and distributor of WMDs โ the United States, led by the arch-imperialist Bush gang.
