AnotherVoice

Waxahachie, Texas, March 29, 2005 -- Believing what I was raised to hold sacred, that every voice counts, I've bombarded my local paper for years with letters and op-eds (and been active in politics). Yet here in the heart of everyone's favorite "red state," where it's especially important that another voice be heard, no one seemed to be listening. This is my megaphone.

A Tale of Two Philosophies

Clinton: I feel your pain.
Bush: I'm a compassionate conservative.

We all know that if Bill Clinton were in office he would have been in Mississippi — TODAY.

Bush, on the other hand, is headed back to Washington (shaving two days off his vacation, where Cindy Sheehan and the Gold Star Mothers are making his life so complicated anyway) to — get this — chair a committee on What to Do.

What is the matter with this man?

I keep having these conversations with strangers in the course of daily business — arguing about the phone bill, fixing satellite TV technical problems, making credit card payments — who, when I suggest somewhat wryly that all these problems will be over when we change administrations, say: "You know THAT's right!" Or, today, "Don't even get me started!"

The common people get it.
