Hey greedy hypocrite repuke. How old are you? Do you have any kids? Do you have health insurance? Are you sick? Fat? Obese? Do you drive a blood sucking gas guzzling SUV? Who the hell do you think is going to have to pay the 1/2 a trillion dollar deficit and $7 trillion dollar debt, you numbskull? How about when you need health care and there is no more medicare for you or social security, you greedy bastard! Is that how you run your household too?

Bush policies putting country in jeopardy Jan. 2, 2004 12:00 AM A few years ago our country was living through the largest economic expansion in history. We were experiencing the first cash surplus in 35 years. The national debt was being paid down. Air and water pollution were at their lowest in decades. Crime was at a record low. We had nearly full employment. Israel and Palestine were talking peace. Life was good. Then something went awry. More than 3 million good-paying jobs lost. Mostly overseas. Billions were lost in the stock market crash. Thousands lost their retirement nest egg. Corporate crime ran rampant. Oil shortages. Price gouging. Health care insurance costs are beyond what most can afford. The middle class is in a decline. We attacked Iraq for questionable motives, costing the lives of our troops and innocent Iraqi civilians, not to mention the cost in dollars, and at the same time creating more hatred of us in the Mideast than ever before. We have lost credibility as well as support of our allies around the globe. I truly believe that the Bush administration's policies are a detriment to our people and country. Our future is in jeopardy.

Must I remind you of the overwhelming mandate the republicans were handed in Nov., 2002 ? No I know, but the disgust for Bush came after Iraq when we discovered there was nothing there. The economy and jobs were trying to recover in 2002 when Bush started that war. He made it sound urgent and life threatening and people believed him. He started the country on a downward spiral we never recovered from in the jobs sense, at least. The fact is a lot of people are very uncomfortable with this agressive war mongering. Here's a funny tidbit for you... in 2000 one of Bush's campaign slogans was W is for Women. How much of the women's vote do you think he will get now? Less than 20% I'd say. The only women who will vote for Bush are the nasty far right grandmothers like that beligerent Jewel_o_the_west person on the Bush thread. The women that see themselves as compassionate want Bush to go. Of course Bush has done nothing to court the womens vote that is for sure.

Victor, there comes a time when the people get fed up with war mongering. The military complex is becoming rich, the capitalist is taking jobs overseas and the Bushies keep up the constant drum of "..the terrorists are coming.." without doing anything tangible about it. The Bushies went from a War AGAINST Terrorism (Afghanistan) to a War FOR Human Rights (Iraq). They have suspended so many International flights without making a single arrest. Reminds me of the WMD scenario with the "imminent threat" to no WMD. Get my drift.

<we'll have much higher taxes, and big giveaways to the corrupt labor unions.> There are so few labor unions in U.S. today that they were not even mentioned during Democrat Iowa Debate--it's a non-issue for this campaign. The old conservative propaganda re higher taxes, weak foreign policy, unions, etc. won't work this time. In past few yrs it has become blatently obvious to majority of voters that Bush Adm has protected interests of only his largest campaign contributors. He has betrayed American workers by siding with the free traitors. As one candidate stated in Iowa debate while discussing No Child Left Behind, "the U.S. will fair much better once Geo Bush has been left behind."
