In my working life - when companies are profitable - people have jobs. Untrue this time around, and easily verifiable.

I've had same life experience...born into FDR Dems who thought you were a hypocrite if you didn't vote straight Dem in every election. Started out that way....then noticed abuse of welfare system was turning U.S. into third-world type country. Noticed as well that criminals had more rights than victims. Re-registered & voted for mostly Repubs for yrs. Agreed with Repubs most of time although I thought they were wrong to bring White Water charges against Clinton...never believed it. Although I resented Clinton's "staining" of the oval office, in the long run decided any man lies, even under oath, when he's asked whether he cheated on his wife or not. Then GW Bush takes office & after 9/11 I agreed action had to be taken in Afghan'stn & Iraq. However, in past yr noticed increasing illegals, more drugs, job losses, Walmart moving in & forcing local small businesses to shut down, abuses on Wall St with barely a slap on wrist from Bush Adm. In fact, I realized the Bush Adm had hardly noticed any of the many negatives hitting average citizens. I realize now that this administration has allowed an imbalance of interests that works against small town,USA & allows multi-national corps to pursue greedy goals of globalization without any monitoring or restrictions whatsoever to protect workers rights. Millions of Americans cannot tolerate being ignored by their Pres. Bush will not be re-elected if he doesn't address these concerns before Nov. P.S. I know both parties refuse to enforce immigration laws but it's time for voters to persuade them that their position could be dangerous to their career goals in the future.
