Product Description
This book constitutes a surgical dissection of the Republican Party, exposing it as the Party of Big Business, the POBB. Furthermore it is the Party of White Males, lacking even a single black member in Congress. (The Democrats have 44). The POBB's Congressional ranks contain few women, only 27, while the Democrats have 64.
George Bush is quickly revealed as the Thief-in-Chief, after he purposefully purloined the 2000 election. Coupled with him is Dick Cheney. The two, plotting furiously, manufactured a cause for war with Iraq where absolutely none existed. Truth quickly became a casualty.
The ensuing debacle has caused the deaths of over 4100 of our brave lads, wounding another 31,000, many maimed for life.
Meanwhile George and Dick have steadfastly denied funds to treat these wounded heroes, withholding care or making it difficult to obtain it. They did however secure repealed tax cuts for their wealthy friends.
The Republican's greatest President was Abraham Lincoln, who not long into office became known as "Honest Abe"; Can you imagine anyone, even a diehard Republican, calling Bush "Honest George"?
Bush has already secured his position as the nation's worst Chief Executive. Working in tandem with Cheney, the two are absolutely at the bottom of the heap, even lower than Nixon/Agnew.
In January of 2009 we Democrats should view with great pride our first black President, Barack Obama, addressing Congress with its group of lily-white Republicans, sullen and resentful. Accompanying our new President will be a sense of exaltation as Democrats, Independents and even some Republicans, await deliverance from the gross incompetence and intense corruption of Bush's reign of ruin.
Besides electing Barack, Democrats need to deliver about 32 new faces in the House and 8 more in the Senate. This will provide Congressional leaders with adequate votes to ram needed legislation through both bodies.
For Democrats who delight in persuing political history, this book will be a rewarding, enlightening read. It is presented in a felicitous manner, ever ready to reveal the perfidious nature of the POBB's and their preference for white male candidates. As the author I warmly recommend its purchase, naturally enough.
About The Author
Richard John Siviur is an 85 year old self described Political Addict who has invested numerous years in completing this book. During that extended period he studied intently the works of several hundred American historians and filled an impressive number of notebooks with names, places, events and opinions.
He was only seven years old when in 1930 the Great Depression struck this land. He witnessed the utter privation and destitution which accompanied it. That economic catastrophe was brought about by blind, greedy Republican economic measures.
He grew up regarding President Franklin Delano Roosevelt with a feeling of near reverence, an attitude shared by his parents, relatives, and many neighbors in the small town in Wisconsin where he was born.
The author was drafted into the Army Air Corps while still in college and assigned to Weather School. Soon after, his permanent assignment was with the 21st Weather Squadron, first in England, then in Normandy France, and finally Germany even before war's end. He would serve nearly two years in Europe.
During his entire business career he was self-employed. Most of that was spent managing and promoting trade shows conducted on a modest level. His last 12 years, he devoted to founding and publishing neighborhood newspapers in St. Petersburg and Tampa, Florida. He finally retired from business in 2004.
Sprinkled throughout are a generous amount of satiric, caustic references to Bush and his cohort of grotesquely incompetent neocons. This effort should bring joy to readers who are liberal.
Reader ReviewsWhat a rip-off! When you title a book "Why Jesus Christ would never, ever vote Republican" you expect hear about two things: 1. Bad stuff about Republicans 2. Jesus Christ There is exactly ONE reference to Jesus Christ in the entire book! I was hoping that the author would tie some of Jesus' biblical teachings (e.g "Judge not, lest ye be Judged") to reasons to not vote Republican. But Noooooooo... it's nowhere to be found in this book. The author does not "bio" himself except to say that he is 85 years old and likes to ride a bike. Sheesh! I don't need him to be a biblical scholar, but that doesn't give you much "street cred" The author should reference the "Do not lie" part of the Bible and rename his book, "My Personal Rant Against Republicans" because that's what it is! Don't buy this book. - Steve
