"That's the difference, guys. Our kids are gonna know that at least we cared enough about their future to fight to try and fight for it. " (& I know my 2 oldest kids were in the trenches with me :-) ) IF YOU'RE A REPUBLICAN COMING HERE TO GLOAT... ...save your breath Bush may have won...but YOU lost. Here's why: When overtime pay is eliminated, it won't just be terminated for liberals. You're going to lose yours, as well. You're going to have to live in the same polluted America as the rest of us. When the next terrorist attack hits us -- and it will -- the al-Qaeda isn't just going to target Democrats only. When Social Security goes bankrupt, there won't be any exceptions made for Bush supporters. The drug companies aren't going to cut Republican seniors any slack with the new Medicare prescription-drug plan either Your folks will also have their coverage changed arbitrarily whenever Merck, Pfizer, et al. feel like it. ( And they won't have any better access to cheaper pharmaceuticals from Canada than anyone else. ) Body armor and armored vehicles in Iraq are not going to doled on the basis of political leanings. Bottom line, you're in the same leaky lifeboat as the rest of us -- you just don't know it yet. Except in one regard. Your kids aren't going to be able to afford college tuition any more than ours...and when the bill for these record deficits falls due, they're going to have to pay up same as everyone else. And that's not even mentioning the possibility of a draft. And when they realized that they'll never be able to have a lifestyle as good as yours...all because you wanted to feel pumped about having 'your' guy in office and have yourself a liberal-bashing party, right here, right now...they will turn on you with vengeance. Either that...or guess who's gonna end up supporting them? Most likely, both of the above. If Bush does get a second term, you'd better be prepared to have your grown kids living with you and hating you at the same time. And that is gonna hurt you like you don't wanna know. That's the difference, guys. Our kids are gonna know that at least we cared enough about their future to fight to try and fight for it. bushflash.com
