I read your recent front-page story about Sen. Rick Santorum's new book.
He's against abortion, in favor of women staying home, against gays and for the ongoing war, tax breaks
for millionaires, and whatever George W. says.
Is there a single apple on the Republican plate he doesn't polish, to speak in polite terms? No.
I can't understand how people can watch the unbelievable price of gas and the windfall profits of oil companies,
the continuous loss of American life and limb in a war that has lost all meaning, and the attempt to control peoples' thinking
by linking a political agenda to religious feelings that are taught from early childhood - how people can watch this and not
get furious.
It is disgusting, what the Republican brain trust is doing to the people of this country. I only hope we
all wake up before it's too late and there's no democracy left to defend.
