ladies and gentlemen, my final rant on BUSH:
Bush is a ing idiot. He waits a week to apologize for the sickening, embarrasing, an inexusable behavior of his "noble" and "brave" soldiers that are supposed to represent this wonderful coutry.
Then, terrorists go and retaliate, (does this really shock you?) and suddenly the heat is shifted off the Americans and back on to the Iraqis. On the front page of the post today in big letters read:
SAVAGES
this is so ing hypocritical of the US. These people stand for causing terror and eliminating their enemies. We as a superpower know this. But our awarenes of this INDEPENDENT group of iraqis does not justify the behavior of our own soldiers, who should be there to uphold and represent what this country is supposed to stand for. The US has once again made a fool out of itself, and Bush is to blame. WHY THE HELL DO WE HAVE TO KEEP GIVING THESE PEOPLE MORE AMMUNITION? AND HAVEN'T THE CIVILIANS OF IRAQ SUFFERED ENOUGH?
We throw a fit when US prisoners are tortured and killed, but when the US does the same to Iraqi prisoners, the whole ordeal is kept under wraps (or there is at least an attempt at it)
The fact is, Bush isn't sorry it happened. He's just sorry it reached the public. He's a dishonest, worthless president. And for me, these events just reinforce my belief that the country will continue to go down-hill on a global level if bush remains in office for a second term.

I'm an independant, but I'm married to a Bush supporter. Bush has been quite reckless with this country and a foul representation of America to the rest of the world. So why do people like Bush?...
1. First of all, he is labeled Republican...that instantly gathers support from the masses of lemming voters (people who side with political parties--repub or democ).
2. Secondly, Bush sympathizes with people who are afraid of losing what they feel are the right (literally) morals for American society. These are typically the church crowd. (Issues like abortion, sexuality, prayer in schools)
3. Third, Bush gets the rich vote for the most part. He is the all-time world record holder for the most corporate campaign donations. Also, The biggest lifetime contributor to Bush's campaign, who is also one of his best friends, presided over one of the largest corporate bankruptcy frauds in world history (Kenneth Lay, former CEO of Enron Corporation).
4. There are a handful of hardworking middle class people who support Bush, but personally their reasons seem to revolve around Bush's "I don't care what you think" attitude and the misconception that Bush supports the military (which being around the military my whole life I can attest to what he has done so far...cut bonuses and is planning to cut 25% of all military bases in 2005). And those who need a lesson in basic american economics...Lower taxes= not-so-good economy.
I could go on and on, but I'll leave it at that for further discussion.

There are all of those ... and then there are those core conservatives who stringintely stick to beliefs of small governements, less taxes, and a freer society. Unfortunately Bush is no "conservative" and has increased the size of government, has never vetoed any spending bill, has embarked upon a Clintonesque nation building campaign of monumentous proportions, and is campaigning for religious rights at the expense of civil liberties. I hate the democrats as much as the republicans, however, it's truly unfortunate that Bush embarked upon the foreign policies that he has. I largely approve of his domestic economic policies but I simply cannot ignore all other factors. |

Occ,
I agree with your comments. Unfortunately, most people have yet to pull the wool from their eyes so that they can see that this administration is about big business and government expansion. Perhaps there are those who support bush who may not like him completely but they're hanging on to the old ideals of conservatives. My husband is in the air force and i've had some wife ask me "how can you not be for bush since your husband is military?" I said, well, name one way bush has improved our lives. Obviously she couldn't and then i interjected with the fact that our husbands have had their 5 year pilot bonuses cut (worth about 15k) under bush and that bush is getting ready to close 25% of military bases. she then went on to say that those things are caused by clinton... :rolleyes:Those who have ears cannot always hear.

I hate to say it, but some people are partisans first and Americans second.
This is why I'm going to remain a registered independent for now.
Anyone who loves this country knows Bush is taking it straight to hell.
If Kerry s up after he's elected, I'll be the first to take him to task over it, the first to be out there marching. |
