Letter: GOP makes good on cruel ideology

Monday, Dec. 30, 2002 | 9:46 a.m.

Yours truly has spent much time, paper and ink trying to tell a naive public, especially senior citizens, what would happen if Republicans took over both houses of Congress under the cover of patriotic fog emanating from Sept. 11. Now, for the first time, they think they really have a mandate to starve and freeze poor, sick and old people and they are wasting no time in doing so. I hate to say 'I told you so,' but I told you so.

Now, maybe, just maybe, this is exactly what the majority of the public wants. But if they do I have only one thing to say to them -- someday you may be poor, someday you may be sick, you damn sure will be old and maybe all three. Just what good will all the warmongering "patriotism" do you then? Just keep electing Republicans and you will starve and freeze.
