Clarification..I`m for the poor

The personal message I sent out in regard to the re election of President Bush has caused a bit of a stir. Granted I have had many good willed messages from folk who have said they totally empathise and agree..thanks, but there have been those who, though in my corner, I have upset. This surprises me a little in terms of the fact that the music is my central voice and I think it has told it pretty clear in the last few years. So why my views are a shock to folk I’m not sure.However, for the record, I’m not a Democrat or Republican. I probably shout a little louder when leaders of so called ‘faith’ choose to, as far as I can see, ignore the tenants of that belief in their policies. Ultimately though, I’m on the side of the poor, the marginalized, the voiceless. That’s it for me, and it probably puts me on a collision course with any President. This present one is the worst culprit I know, but I would have been on Kerry’s case in weeks. I think he would have been less dangerous than Bush who has done enough damage already, I wanted him gone along with men who have probably contributed more to the carnage like Rumsfeld. Men of faith. A bible study, then lets send in the bombers. I don’t think I could ever vote Labour again either, though some may persuade me otherwise in the coming months. There is far more compassion there, but they lied too. And of course, if you dig deeper it gets blacker. No, it’s for the poor (who are primarily the ones who have to do the fighting too), the innocent and millions who suffer, and for those for whom it’s all too late. We go for the dictators too, liberation for all, don’t think there’s much chance of invading Zimbabwe though, but a bit of oil might help. I’m going for all those little bastards. Maybe that will clarify things for a few people.
