WHAT in bush's first term compelled you to believe he deserved your vote in 2004? 2000, I could possibly understand....but sheeeshh, give me a break.

Before you think to tell us of your polictical acumen, simply list the top 10 things Bush did that worked out. I've asked many of those here, including APK919 and fishguy, and never got a cogent answer.


McCain had disappointed me no end since 2000.

He is way more of a flip-flopper than Kerry.

He was against the tax cuts that create most of our deficit, but now for them.

He correctly called Falwell and that other jerk agents of division or similar, but now buddies up to them.

He changed his immigration stance to suit voters.

He embraced (literally) Bush, after Bush smeared him. He didn't even vote for bush, as it turns out.

His health care policy is incredibly lame; his plan wouldn't even cover him. He thinks "market forces" will succeed, even tho they have shown they won't. Over and over.

His economic policies (so far) would cost $300 billion: Doubling the dependent exception: $171 billion in 4 yrs! Reducing the gas tax: $10 billion. Iraq: 100's of billions, nearing a trillion.

Ask him how he intends to pay for his Iraq war.

He'll give you a lame answer about cutting "pork", i.e. earmarks. Ignoring for a moment that not all earmarks are bad, they amount to only $18 billion/yr. This is the most generous estimate I've yet seen.

Given that you guys don't exhibit much political awareness, how are you on math???

He blatantly lied about how "safe" that Iraqi marketplace was.

He can't keep Shias and Sunnis straight. He doesn't know who is aligned with whom. Made the same mistake 4 times in one week. He is either confused or had a bunch of senior moments. Either should disqualify him from being President.

He's admitted he doesn't understand much about the economy...and keeps proving it.

His reasons for voting against the "New GI Bill" are incredibly lame.

His religious guy scares me way more than Obama's.

He told ppl in the Gulf Coast he would never let what Bush did happen again. Yet, he voted against much aid for that area.

He voted for Bush policies about 95% of the time. Yet those policies have brought: *An unnecessary war; economic havoc/downturn; historic debt; historic deficits; more unemployment; billions wasted; increaqses in terrorism; more poor people; more poor children w/o medical care; billiions unaccounted for; illegal, immoral torture; spying on citizens; voter disenfranchisement; scandal after scandal; wrecking FEMA, FEC; the lowest approval rating in history; 81% of the country saying we're on the wrong track.

This country is in a bit of trouble. McCain promises more of the same.

Are you serious?? Stick to picking cars.




*For a more complete list of the failures of this Republican administration, ask me or search for some of my posts.

Nicely written post.

I'll vote Obama for President.
