Minor quibbles:

"* The Republicans won't tell you that 'compassionate' Bush is the nation's leading executioner."

The governor of the State of Texas is powerless to affect executions other than to issue a 30 day stay. All other power resides in the State Board of Paroles and has since there was a pardon scandal in the first have of the last century.

"*They won't tell you that Bush opposed hate crimes legislation in Texas."

All crimes involving violence are hate crimes. We should be more concerned with enforce the laws against violence aimed at anyone.

"*They won't tell you that he signed legislation to allow Texans to carry concealed weapons into churches."

Yeah, odd as it sounds, Texans were not allowed to have permits to carry concealed weapons even though they've been allowed in places with much stricter gun laws like New York City for decades. It's still illegal to carry a concealed weapon into a number of places including my church.

"*They won't tell you that Bush opposes laws that protect gays and lesbians from employment."

Even most Democrats running for state wide office in Texas don't support that. Sorry.
