[at-l] Hikers for Kerry

[stephensadams at hotmail.com (Steve Adams)]

Hummingbird,

Reference your post, dated 8-13-04.

I used to offer up, ?It?s always easier to vote Republican than it is to 
think.? as a means to piss off Republicans.  I have sadly come to conclude 
it is the truth.

Republican Party activists continually provide dishonest sound bites which 
take more time to refute than many people are willing to devote.

?... I started a folder where hikers can discuss the environmental impact or 
whatever else.?

I looked at your folder.  It seems to be a Kerry/Edwards election campaign 
site.  All ?right thinking? Republicans venturing into there will depart 
quickly.

?(F)acts about what has happened to the environment during the Bush 
administration.?

The Bush people told everyone, cutting down the trees will stop forest 
fires.  It?s true.  Stupid, but true.  No Republican voices were heard 
objecting to that logic.  Republicans don?t want to think about things which 
might undermine their support for their party.

?... I will be going to three meetings ... a group of Greens, Republicans, 
Independents and Democrats for Kerry ... Women for Kerry ... and ... 
Veterans for Kerry ...?

Aren?t you talking with people who already agree to vote for your 
preference?  If so, how does this help your cause?  I think you need to go 
where you?re not wanted if you intend to stimulate or convert votes.

?I really don't understand why there are so many people with negative 
responses ... especially hikers.  How can hikers not see the damage to the 
environment??

It?s always easier to vote Republican than it is to think.

Steve
