As for the last election.. even Kerry would be better than Gore. /shivers Would love to line that A-hole up and shoot him for treason after some of the things he's said... He's 10x worse than protestors that spit on soldiers coming home from Vietnam. Personally I think those protestors shoulda been airlifted into the middle of vietnam and pushed out... but anyways.. i'm getting way off topic lol.
I don't love Bush, but I do like him for having the moral courage to confront both terrorism and corrupt/saddistic leaders of other countries. Should we have been better prepared for this? Yes. Are we doing a good job currently? I think so. People nowadays are too impatient. They have this idea that America can settle any dispute and kill any enemy withing a couple months time.
WW2 took MORE years to rebuild Germany and kill the remaining extremists than it did to take out their army, not to mention the cost was MUCH greater than this war. Same war, different country, different time. Evil exists. We can either try to do something about it or we can sit back and wait for the next CNN report to run the numbers of the next genocide.
I havn't heard this brought up but if I don't address it now I know it will. (It always has) WMD's. Bush did not lie. He has had them. He has used them. (On his own people no less.) We have FOUND them IN Iraq. We havn't found nukes yet though so people don't really care. I have one question for you people though. How long did Saddam have to hide them or move his nukes to another country? Also, how long did Saddam laugh at the U.N. treaties that were not enforced? If you had illegal weapons would you sit around and do nothing with them for 13 years, especially later when an invasion was probable? Most likely they went to Syria as many Iraqi's report seeing many military convoys heading to Syria months before the invasion.
Anyways, it's late so i'm headin' to bed. Just realized I went kind of off topic again from what I was originally going to post lol. Oh well, too tired to care. If there is anything that doesn't maker perfect sense (gramatically and such) i'm sorry, but it's almost 3 am lol. Nite nite.
Edit* I remember now! Kerry would be worse than Bush imo because Kerry is much like Clinton. He says/does whatever is popular instead of what is good for the country. The difference between Kerry and Clinton is Kerry is much more obvious about it and (imo) less charismatic than Bush. (I think that's possible
lol) Kerry originally said that he was going to pull the troops out of Iraq, but when people realized just how stupid that would be he decided to change his tune a bit. Kerry responds to pole numbers. Look at a history book. The presidents most hated by liberals tend to be the most loved later on. Reagan was hated by liberals when he was president. (Almost as much as Bush, but Reagan was more charismatic so more people liked him) Now only a handful of extremists can think of anything bad to say about him. I think Bush, to a lesser degree, will be remembered as such in the history books. (Ok really going to bed now)
*Bah, another edit.
#1) South Park relation made me laugh. :p
#2) I don't see Bush's campaign adds as mud-slinging. Every Bush campaign i've seen has shown Kerry's VOTE RECORD. You can look this stuff up online if you don't trust a Bush commercial. Watch a Kerry campaign add and try to validate some of his claims. You may be surprised by what you find..
Oh wait! That's right, we prospered economically, and securely! That's right, as much as Fox would love to paint clinton as neutering the Army, he actually built it into something that Bush could use to invade countries with! The economy grew like never before with a surplus! Anyways, whatever is popular means that the people want it, right? Well, I can't see how having the president do what the people wants is a bad thing. I mean, it is FOR the people BY the people. THe people want XYZ and it can be delivered. Unlike with Bush, who furthers his own selfish agenda. hell, he has pissed off quite a few people in his own party. Not to mention the ruin the economy had been in when Bush has been in office. When he took office the dollar was almost 1 for 1 with the pound now it's 1 for 2! You'd be best doing more of your research from places other than Fox. I reccomend the Economist and the BBC, mostly because they're overseas reporters and look to gain nothing from either politician.
