BETRAYED BY UNFAITHFUL BUSH

VOTERS may remember Bill Clinton's alleged infidelity and judge him harshly. Even if he was unfaithful to his wife, so what, people! Don't you feel betrayed by an unfaithful President Bush?

Sure, he may have taken some control of foreign matters, but he sure as pudding has divorced himself from the concerns, problems and solutions of our disastrous economy and nightmarish numbers of unemployed.

Bush can be "laid off" by the voters. If you vote for him, you are choosing to allow him four more years of vacations while you worry about holding onto or finding a job.

The Japanese did send cars and radios here, but they did not force anyone to buy their goods. While the Japanese gathered profits of our purchases, we apathetically continued to ignore pleas to "buy American." Now, the choices we made show their ugly consequences, and we dislike the Japanese almost as much as we did on Dec. 7, 1941!

Should drowsiness or amnesia befall the masses of voters at the appointed hour, what a nightmare they will awaken to. There is a sleeping tiger within the American people. It is hoped that it wakes up at the polls.
