Schwarzenegger





a good Republican?


This letter is in response to Gov. (Arnold) Schwarzenegger’s speech at the recent Republican National Convention.


If you are proud of a healthcare system that maintains its hefty profit margins by closing hospitals, fostering homelessness and denying medical service, you are a good Republican.


If you are proud of an energy delivery system that, when deregulated, engaged in racketeering and extorted millions from the state of California, bankrupting the state, you are a good Republican.


If you are proud of a political party that for the last 50 years has engaged in shrill McCarthy-style propaganda to personally attack, defame and distort facts in order to maintain political power in the name of patriotism and now Christianity, you are a good Republican.


If you think our military’s preemptive action to find elusive weapons of mass destruction will defeat terrorism, you are a good Republican.


If you are proud of leadership that demonstrates a pervasive lack of good intelligence, you are a good Republican.
