We're talking about election 2004. Military experience is important to this year's campaign. As we've already been over, military experience alone is no measure of a president. I have military experience but I do not claim to be presidential material. Military experience is but one piece of the make up of a CIC. To me Bush has already shown that his lack of experience and his reliance on others to make major policy decisions for him shows that Bush does not have the depth to be CIC. By your standards, about half of the US Presidents who were in office during wars were incompetent. No where have I said these words. This is your construct...and it violates the theme here...Just the facts. What I have said that in this election, comparing the military experience of Bush and Kerry, that the experience of Kerry is more valuable to a CIC than the experience of Bush. Bush has sold out the economy to the corporate interests. The Cheney energy policy was crafted by corporate interests. Bush is owned by the corporations. The economy that I'm talking about is the economy for working men and women in this country. We've been squeezed in the last four years and the corporations, many of them multinational, dictate policy and benefit immensely from the republican agenda. Don't throw a red herring into the debate about what FDR did half a century ago. Our economy and our inter-relation with the world economy is completely different in 2004. Again comparing what FDR did to feed the nation to the corporate plunder that Bush has wrought is simply wrong. Where are those manufacturing jobs going? Why are the numbers of people without healthcare growing? When will the American people hold this administration responsible for what went on under their watch? I can't believe that you're going to vote for the guy with the blackened face, the gasoline can and the matches in hand...Bush who is clearly the arsonist...for the Fire Chief of the nation. Bush will not respect the needs of the people. Bush will do what is expected of him by the corporate owned Republican party. To keep the ignorant in line he'll bring up divisive issues such as God, Gays and Guns, despite that fact that all these issues and rights are clearly defined in the laws established by our founding fathers. Freedom of religion is not at issue. Nor should the fact that All Men Are Created Equal be at issue, nor should the right to keep and bear arms be at issue. These are the scare tactics and the 30 second sound bites of a campaign that only uses these issues to maintain control of the country for corporate interests. Orca
