4 more years !!!!!!!
- Thread starter Geoffrey
- Start date
Hello Geoffrey, I remember you from the trailer park when I lived in Orange County or perhaps I saw you on Jerry Springer. Sorry I was wrong, you must be a member of that 1% elite who is getting richer in America. Do you believe what your political leaders and the media(Fox network) tell you? Is living in America better now and by extension North America (Canada) than 4 years ago? Do you pay more for gas than in the late 90's, wonder if Bush's oil buddies are profiting? Is the world a safer place, perhaps travel on a US passport? Read my post on the Mayor and John McCain thread(Americason),(wondering how I can attach from other posts)? Four more years of Bush/Cheney, I shudder at the thought. A happy American to be living in Canada, Dabbler

I'm begining too really love this Greek gal Arianna Huffington since she cleared the cobwebs out of her mind and saw the light about Dubya & his co-horts. Here is Arianna's excellent analysis on Dubya's past 4 year RECORD:
"I realize that facts mean next to nothing to the fanatics in the Bush
White House, but they mean a hell of a lot to the people whose lives
they
depict.
Here then, for your voting-booth convenience, is a quick overview of
President Bush's "great record":
Since he took office, 1.2 million people in America have lost their
jobs,
bringing the total to 8.2 million.
The number of Americans living below the poverty line has increased by
4.3
million to 35.9 million - 12.9 million of them children.
The number of Americans with no health insurance has increased by 5.8
million - with 1.4 million losing their insurance in 2003. The total
now
stands at 45 million.
Forty percent of the 3.5 million people who were homeless at some point
last year were families with children, as were 40 percent of those
seeking
emergency food assistance.
Median household income has fallen more than $1,500 in
inflation-adjusted
terms in the last three years, and the wages of most workers are now
falling behind inflation.
Average tuition for college has risen by 34 percent, while 37 percent
of
fourth graders read at a level considered "below basic."
One third of the president's $1.7 trillion in tax cuts benefits only
the
top 1 percent of wealthiest Americans.
President Bush also failed to fulfill his pledge to get Osama Bin Laden
"dead or alive," traded the moral high ground for preemptive war and
the
horrors of Abu Ghraib, never attended a funeral or memorial service for
any of the 975 soldiers killed in Iraq, pulled out of the Kyoto
agreement
on global warming, gutted the Clean Air Act, initiated the rollback of
more than 200 environmental regulations, backed a constitutional
amendment
to outlaw gay marriages, and refused to follow through on his promise
to
extend the assault weapons ban.
So let's get one thing straight: Anyone who is lauding George Bush at
the
Republican Convention - and, yes, that includes you Rudy, Arnold,
Governor
George and Mayor Mike - is endorsing his disastrous and wholly
immoderate
record. Thus, by definition, all these Bush strokers have surrendered
their moderate credentials - no matter how warm and fuzzy their
positions
on social issues. The president's record betrays both courage and
compassion, and no amount of lofty rhetoric will change that."

Rudy's comment comparing Bush to Churchill is laughable ......is he on drugs or something ?Dabbler said:Read my post on the Mayor and John McCain thread(Americason),(wondering how I can attach from other posts)?

Hey Geoffrey, your response is about what I expected from a neo con. Rather than answer my questions and engage in meaningful dialogue you resort to insults. This appers to be the previling strategy of Republicans when trying to defend the indefensible, Bush's record (military, business career and presidental). Wood pecker has offered a concise and succient summary, very similar to my comments in the mayor and John McCain thread. Also to answer your question, no I'm not related to Micheal Moore but people tell me I look like Rush Limbaugh. Just my 2cents, Dabbler
