I think that on election day we will have a new president. And the war in Iraq will continue for several more years of bloodshed in the name of corporate profits. Of course it will be the innocent who must suffer the most and this is always wars greatest tragedy. Perhaps, one day, President Bush will have an awakening of judgement that is not hampered by all the conservative special interest groups he serves to perhaps realize the mistakes in judgemet he made that has cost and will cost untold thousands of lives and trillions of dollars.

[mimosa]

My main gripe is that I feel he has interfered repeatedly with our right to free speech and peaceful protest. I never realized until recently how much I prize that right, because I never felt so much before now that it was threatened. The Patriot Act is a joke, it does nothing really but impede our freedom as Americans, and cause the fear factor to reign. Freedom of religion is another big one, separation of church and state. This man threatens basic rights that our country was founded upon. It's insane.


Thank you, King George, for making me appreciate my constitutional rights like never before. Please be defeated, and let me live in peace again.

[Soulless||Chaos]

So much I disagree with, but I suppose #1: The Patriot Act.

[Nathan11]

YES!
The Patriot Act is a slap in the face to all Americans.

after reading that, the first thing that comes to mind is the educational system.......

"was the Bush admisistration done that you have highly didagreed with?"

Uh oh. You're starting to talk and spell like Bush! :)

[luvndrumn]

That's it? That's all you can say? Worrying about the look rather than the content? Or are you just trying to get your post count up?




UPR, for me it's trying to push an idea of morality out to the populace and the tax breaks to the people who need them the least.

[shaggie]

I would say one thing that is troubling is that Bush has frustrated Americans to the point that they are losing their sense of humor. The atmosphere in America pre-Bush was more optimistic and friendly. The sense of humor of Americans is one of the things that has kept the country going through the worst of times.

IF I can be honest with you, Josh. It's that He is THE most powerful man on the PLANET, and HE doesn't speak English as well as YOU do.
I have REAL problem with HIM in charge of our Education Budget.

[crummyrummy]

I like Bush over Kerry, but am not happy with either. Kerry has no plan, his string pullers havent written it yet. At least Bush's puppeteers have a plan. A bad one, probably, but a plan is better than no plan when you are talking about trying to manage the largest democracy in the world.
( is India a democracy? maybe I should have said most powerful, or most influencial, I dunno)

[shaggie]

What is Bush's plan? I'd love to see it, especially for Iraq where $200 billion of our money has already gone.

[mimosa]

Well, Kerry does have a plan, but to me most of it is "pie in the sky". Edwards said in his debate " we will offer to every American the same health care as every Senator receives" do I believe that? not for a minute, but career politicians lie every day of the year. I just vote for the least offensive crook. they are mostly all crooks in my opinion (even Clinton who I love), but I hold by my stance that elections are about voting against, not voting for. and who are we voting against? the biggest liar in the Western world. Kerry sucks less. but I do wish we had a better alternative, to tell the truth. Yes, Nader is OK with his views, but he will not win, and he is not an option for me. the whole political system is so screwed up. sad but true.

I miss Paul Wellstone every day. The best senator ever. He was not a hypocrite like most. Life would be different if he was still here.

[shaggie]

Paul Wellstone was liked by a lot of people, even those on the other side of the aisle. It's a shame that he died in that plane accident.

One of Wellstone's colleagues (don't remember who) held a press conference the day after his death. He got about three words into his speech and then broke down and cried in front of all the media.

I remember when Wellstone first ran against a wealthy incumbent and had a shoestring budget for his campaign. He was quite humorous in his first campaign commercials, much like a regular comedian.

"was the Bush admisistration done that you have highly didagreed with?"

Uh oh. You're starting to talk and spell like Bush! :) lol good one dude
and you cant seriously tell me that there wasnt a less bloody way to take care of the problem, what ever happened to devide and conqure any way? was that just too expensive? and if were saving them why arnt we backing a revalution? thats what we always did before, damn its like beating up a ten year old ffs. (and please don't anyone say a ten year old with a gun cause its all relevent) and while im bitchen, a war on terrorism? how freaken lame is that? mostly terrorist are simply individuals and there always gonna be individuals, it seems the best way to beat terrorism is for us to stop treating the world like we own it, and mind our own damn buisness
and my thoughts on bush is i know he didnt read those 118 death warrents before he signed them, and personaly i could not send 118 people to there deaths, if for no other reason because the pain it brought the familys, but i guess to him the cost made it justafiable

[MattInVegas]

I wish the Electronic Voting machined had a "Write In" ability!
I think I would just vote for John Denver and leave it at that.
Don't even THINK about Nader! He's a Consumer Advocate.

[homebudz]

I have already voted.I will drop my ballot off at city hall this ayem.Kerry in,,,bushit out.Thats my story and I'm stickin to it!! PEACE

[unionpacificrailroad]

Peace,

hmm. i think that there is many good thoughts here. i like John Denver. he is just about the only country singer i like because his tone and feelings are different. he was a good man. i also would like John Lennon as president and Denver as Vice Presendent! man the world would be a very safewr place then! so whos all goin to the poll?

[MattInVegas]

My decisions have been made. I recieved my sample ballot, I'm ready to voice MY opinion.

[soulrebel51]

I would have to say the killing of 3000 innocent people. And I can't see why anyone else would say something different as their number one thing. Right behind that would be the Patriot Act and this war. I do have to say I am grateful that Bush was president while I am so young; never before I had realized how muchI love my civil liberties and it was George W Bush who helped me realize what I want to do for my life. Also, his refusal of ratifying the Kyoto Protocol pisses me off.....there is much much more, but I've gotta go do some shit now.

[MattInVegas]

Don't blame the Soldiers. They are only fighting for YOUR right to bitch about Bush.
I Bitch about Bush TOO. But, I'm Registered, and WILL vote next month.

[soulrebel51]

Don't vote Bush! Anybody but Bush! Even Badnarik! :p

but you knew that :)

[~Sam~]

Well, for starters Freight Train...

His first duty in office was to rape EPA of most of its laws to clean up, and keep clean, this country.

He took a balanced budget and put us trillions of dollars in the hole.

He wanted to go back and finish what his Daddy started in Iraq. And he did it in such an honest way it makes my skin crawl.

He took a Repulican premise; to keep government small, and made government agencies more top heavy than already were, gave them more power to fuck us up the ass, and increased the overall size of gov't agencies.

He has no morals.

He is a Total Fucking Moron.

His cronies either created 9/11, or were thrilled out of their panties that it happened so that they could institute measures to take away our civil liberites. And don't kid yourself, they're just getting started with making Big Brother a harmless relic of a kinder, gentler time.

His war on terrorism is a sham. We have the technology and the weaponry to have gotten to Osama at the onset of "terrorism in the USA." Why isn't he "Got" yet?

His numb-nuts tax cut that steals from the poor and middle class to fatten the bilionaire's pocket book.

His... his cronies plan for world domination, for domestic socialism and to keep Republican control of this country for a long, long time to come.

Need I go on?

"Everything You Know Is Wrong"

[MattInVegas]

Here is THIS Weeks Fuck-Up!

This is from a newspaper in Rural Minnesota.


By Don Davis
Capitol Reporter
ddavis@bemidjipioneer.com (ddavis@bemidjipioneer.com)


ST. PAUL - Vice President Dick Cheney will defy a presidential campaign trend if he talks much about rural issues during his Monday Moorhead stop.




“They don’t know what the issues are,” political science Professor Larry Jacobs said. “This campaign has confirmed once again that rural America is not on the radar screen.”



Jacobs

a University of Minnesota professor closely following the campaign in Minnesota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Iowa

said he hopes Cheney talks about the area’s loss of farmers and other rural residents.



“We have an emergency on our hands,” Jacobs said. “We have a hurricane in Florida, but we have a slow disaster in the Upper Midwest.”



Cheney is scheduled to attend a Republican National Committee town hall meeting in Moorhead Monday; the time and location have not been announced, although the Minnesota State University-Moorhead field house is reported to be the favored location. He campaigned in East Grand Forks on Aug. 6.



The vice president’s visit is to follow one today by former U.S. Sen. Max Cleland, co-chairman of the national Kerry-Edwards campaign. Cleland is to speak at 10 a.m. in MSU-Moorhead’s Center for the Arts.



Cheney is the only presidential or vice presidential candidate to stop in northwestern Minnesota this year. Others have spent plenty of time elsewhere in the state

Republican President Bush and Democratic Sen. John Kerry seven times each this year.



Minnesota is considered a battleground state in the presidential race, and rural voters are being courted. They are so important that the chief Bush-Cheney strategist said rural issues will become more discussed as the Nov. 2 election nears.



“Over the course of the next 10 days, you probably will be hearing more specifics,” said Matthew Dowd.



If so, that would be a turnaround from what has happened so far.



Bush and Kerry and their running mates were in Minnesota this week, but they said little about agriculture or how to preserve shrinking, rural communities.



Bush brought a farmer onto stage with him and promoted his plan to eliminate estate taxes during a Rochester rally. Sen. John Edwards, Kerry’s running mate, spent a few moments talking about rural issues, including promoting the right to use snowmobiles, during his Hibbing stop.



Rural issues generally have been a few sentences edited into the candidates’ standard stump speeches. In Mankato, Minn., for instance, Bush delivered a speech of nearly 300 sentences; eight were specifically about rural matters.



“We have seen more rural locations, but we’ve only seen slight increment movement on these rural issues,” said Dee Davis, president of the Center for Rural Strategies, a non-partisan group that promotes rural issues.



Niel Ritchie, president of the Minnesota-based League of Rural Voters, said he is happy rural voters are seeing the candidates first hand.



“It is the fact that the candidates themselves are finding their way to the (rural) communities and attempting to have a conversation with voters,” Ritchie said. “This is a start. Traditionally, candidates have flown over and not dropped down.”



Ritchie, who has donated to Democratic legislative candidates even though the league he heads is non-partisan, said a Wisconsin Kerry television commercial about the dairy industry is the only rural advertisement he knows about in the campaign.


This administration doesn't give a shit about the American people.
