Bill Wyatt challenges Bush for GOP nomination with 10% in OK primary
Check out this guy's platform:

Top Ten Reasons to dump Bush and vote for Bill Wyatt
3) Transparancy: The reasons that we were given for going into Iraq were lies and misinformation with economic motives. Now we are expected to believe that things are going great while over 500 soldiers have died and the country is heading towards civil war. I propose to jump ahead and plan to break Iraq into three countries so that we can exit out of the situation when necessary.

4) Health before Wealth: Decriminalize marijuana, insure the population and control health cost. We must advance as a society and that means that we should not criminalize pot, which is like beer, we are well past the era of prohibition. Also the medical industry is ripping us off which exhorbant cost, let's make sure we all have insurance so that we don't have to be afraid of getting sick, which eventually we all will get sick and die, so let's make it as painless as possible.

5) WOJ, War On Joblessness: Focus a new administration on the creation of jobs. A jobless recovery is not a recovery, but a graph of corporate wealth.


7) Enforce Our Laws: The Bush immigration reforms that are proposed would weaken our borders and lower our wages, unless we can enforce our current laws we should not create benefits for people who have broken these laws.

This guy's platform sounds good to me--in fact better than the Democrat candidates' platforms.

Let's pump this guy up!

2. Pity Bush doesn't have a stronger challenger.
If Wyatt were pulling somewhere from 30%-40% against Bush in these primaries, Bush would be in deep shit.

But I wonder how many Republicans are staying home during these primaries because they don't like Bush.
