Subject: RE: BS: On the Scale of Good and Evil...
I just keep finding things to post! You want a deed which, if not actually evil, is cynical beyond belief? The Republicans are not only going to hold their next convention in New York City, site of the terrorist activities against the US, they have actually changed the traditional date of the convention, pushing it back into -- ready? -- September, so they can hold it on, or as close as possible to, 9/11.

This from the administration that didn't want to give NYC any money for restoration, and was overruled by Congress.

Can't you just hear the drumbeats and the rhetoric now, see the hands over hearts, the utter sincerity, the emotional/patriotic appeal to "the citizens of this great country."

This act is so blatant -- Will it fool anyone? You bet it will -- Joe Sixpack will watch it on tv (he doesn't read), then vote for them.

It's really time to rally opposition -- the Republicans are already putting things into play for 2004: lying, manipulating, bribing, disenfranchising, etc.
