2008

[mkemse]

If Hillary beat Rudy once she can do it again, I am no Hillary fan, but Washington needs a major cleaning, a newstart, a fresh start as was mandated last November.
Regardless of who both parties nominate, i fully believe that the elections in November 2008, will be oneo f the best to watch we have had in decades, especialy with no incumbent President
But my gut tells me, Iraq, Katrina, Gas Prices ect ect will kill the Republicans in a chance to hold on to the White House

What does Katrina and Gas Prices have to do with Republicans? Katrina was a Natural Disaster and the Gas Prices are a result of capitalism. Not too many people have quit driving.

I fault the current administation for:
Some of the failures in Iraq, like not being more forceful and ending it quickly.
Giving into political correctness.
Trying to give amnesty to illegal aliens.
Not protecting our borders.

I don't think the Democrats won the last elections, as much as the Republicans lost it. I'm ready for some real change also, but I don't think any of the candidates have really demonstrated that they are the one. We need a real leader to step up.

Bush did nothing for the victims of Katrina expect talk, i see no massive ammounts of money rebuilding new orleans or other areas, 3 plus years later
High oil prices are a result of our governemnt being owned by oil companies, let me ask this 8 years ago when Clinto left office oil was $35 a barrel gas was $1.50 a gallon, Bush has deystroyed the economy of this country, he will not approve the SCHIP because he says it is too expenisve bill but has the gall toask for $56 billoin more for Irag, if we do not give medical coverage to our children that they derserve we will have no children in 15 years to fight, they will die from illneeses because they have no medical coverage, I have Medicare D but was told BY Social Seciruty that I need to pay more outo f my pocket for medication, i can't afford that, I live on a fixed income, and I thank Mr. Bush for his genenrous 2.1% cost of living increase I get next year for my didsability benifits only to have to pay an additoinal $10 for medicval coverage which i was told i CAN NOT OPT out of, Social Security told me 2 weeks ago Meicare D can not be opted outo fo, no coverage they say, too bad they told me
Bushes only intrst is keep those large coporstions and other happy in his pockets
I am not saying the Democrats will clean up the whole mess, it took 8 years to create it, but ANY one hasd to be better the another Republican, anyone
Bush is 100% responabile for all failures in Iraw, we have no businessthere or policing the whole wold, Bush's only goal is to force Democracy on every nation in the world, he could care less about anyone inthe United States who's income is less then $100,00 a year, trust me minei s well below that he could care less abou the commom man, if he did he would aprove the Ship bill, if the SCHIP is to expsensive at $85 million a year, Iraq is WAY to expensiveat $56 billion every 6 moths

and remember 1 thing WHEN CLINTON LIED NOBODY DIED, even Colin Powel no admit there were no WMD's, Bush lied about Iraq as an excuse to invade it and finish the work his father failed to do during Deresrt Storm
Washington Needsa complete make over part of it was started last Novemberwhen the Ameircan people voted the Democratic into control of congress, unfortuenelty they did not give them Dems enough power ro overide vetos, this to shall change in 2008

he could care less about anyone inthe United States who's income is less then $100,00 a year, trust me minei s well below that he could care less abou the commom man,

My household income is above $100,000 per year, and while I don't know the president, I did go on a vacation with some personal friends of his from Texas. I got an invitation to a Republican fund raiser. ($1200 per plate! Yeah, right! I've eaten in nice restaurants, but none that upon finishing my meal made me proclaim that it was worth $1200! Besides, I'm not even a registered Republican!!!)

I consider myself quite common. This morning, I got up, let the dogs out, fed the dogs, let the dogs back in, took a shower, got my daughter ready for preschool, took her to preschool, ran to the post office, worked out, cleaned house, and will be picking my daughter up in less than an hour. This afternoon, I will take my child to the grocery store (oh the joys of taking a toddler to the grocery store!).

All of this and I don't feel any love from Bush either. I don't know the man, and probably never will. My father is a die-hard Democrat. He has always believed that the Democrats are "for" the working man. He has told me on several occasions that Ronald Reagan was the worst president America has ever had. (Personally I disagree, but he's my dad so I keep my mouth shut out of respect.) I tend to agree with Reagan on one of his opinions. When asked what the best social plan was, he said that people should get a job.

Also, I live in Indiana. We are a red state and have been for a long time. (I've only checked back as far as Nixon because he was president when I was born. Not that it matters.) However, we have had Democratic governors for a long time. (Not now, though.) We are kind of the Cybil of states! While some are staunch supporters of particular parties, most that I know are really about voting their conscience.

It's all about choices. EVERYONE should try to familiarize themselves, as much as possible, with the candidates running for office and VOTE!!! I'm so tired of hearing how the state of America is the government's fault! We should be more responsible for ourselves. Voting is a way to be responsible.

'nuff said. I run the risk of making sense if I continue!!! LOL

No
FEMA stands for Federal Emergency My ####

Not a fan of conspiracy theories, I see.

, but I don't think any of the candidates have really demonstrated that they are the one. We need a real leader to step up.

Don't you think it's a bit late for a new candidate to "step up?"
