What will you do if Bush wins?
| Fri, 08-20-2004 - 12:02pm |
I would like to know what you all will do if Bush wins? I don't know if I can handle another 4 years. Any ideas of how to reclaim our country and restore democracy and freedom? I'm worried that another 4 years will increase the authoritariansm and absolute power that Bush has come to claim and further trample on our constitution and individual liberties. I'm truly frightened.

You my dear are full of cr**. I don't have a large family, but I have one child and another on the way, and I have property. Most people I know with large families have property as they surely can't live in a cramped apartment that will likely cost more then a mortgage. My granparents had 10kids and a foster child, and they had their own property.
I have not always had kids but I never had a problem contributing to the education of our country. There are plenty of tax laws that I pay towards that have nothing to do with me, and I will continue to pay them. Why? Because it doesn't matter that I'm not old, the elderly people have a right to a fair shake as well as I do, I'm not poor but the poor have a right to a fair shake as well as I do, I'm not abused but the abused have a right to a fair shake as well as I do, I'm not without health insurance but those without have a right to a fair shake as well as I do, and on and on and on.
I'm sure all that extra tax money could help me feel more comfy in my life but it sure won't help me feel good about all the crud that would be going on around me if those tax funds were pulled. I'm not going to be the one to put our education into a worse position then it already is. That kind of attitude tawards all the many taxes that don't directly affect you is selfish, and whether you agree or not will just make your life worse in the long run. Buy the way there is a lot of cr** those parents have to pay to their kids public schools that you will never have to worry your pretty little pocket book about. So don't act like they don't pay more into it than you because in most cases you are way off.

The economy has been growing slower with the highest deficit in the history of the country.
We are not fighting terrorism, we are fighting a war in a country which had nothing to do with the attack on this country. The terrorists are still out there while we throw our money at a war that was begun with a lie and no exit strategy.
It will get worse, not better if things continue on as they have. I shudder to think of it.
Saddam Hussein is not the only horrible dictator in the world and not the worst. Why are we not then in those regions toppling those dictators? A president should be very careful about sending our troops to war. Soldiers sent to war don't want to leave their families or die any more than you or I do. They are often in the service as part timers or for educational and economic reasons. They go where their country sends them, like it or not, and when we send them it should be only after all other options are exhausted and there is no other way to solve the problem, and then only with a carefully planned exit strategy.
