    Peace,

    i say this so the older folks can talk about what and why they feel about certain things. we always hear the youngers voice, but what about the elders? all you vets, and victims of government attrocities ( anti war beatings,etc ) we would be enlighted to hear your stories about the Bush'ett Administration.

    later

    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.

    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.

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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)

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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.
