Re: OT: Election 2004
No one can deny that Bush used fear to garner support for the war effort against Iraq. No one can deny that the Bush administration tried to say that people taking burger flipper jobs was an increase in the Manufacturing Job Market. No one can deny that Bush has done nothing about the loss of US jobs as companies in the US fire employees here and move their jobs to China, Mexico, and other.
However, Iraq had to be delt with before it did become a problem. Of this we can all agree. The method for getting the job done has left a bad tast in many of peoples mouths, but the job has been done. The ends do not justify the means however we are all better off now than we would be if we left Saddam in control.
The US economy has been recovering nicely, but Job growth has remained flat. This is the first time in history that this has ooccured and it is not do to Bush's economics. This is the result of Clintonomics and even CNN has achknowledged this as a fact.
Its the mistrust of the public that has hurt President Bush. Even though he may have lied, and yes, I do believe that at times things have to be done in order to get things done, but when its all said and done, step up to the bat and stand your ground. Bush has done this somewhat and I will continue to support him.
Kerry is a good man, but I simply do not trust him at this point. I feel that he is not the right man for the job this late in the game. Perhaps in 2008.
Right now we need to ride out this storm with the captain we currently have. That way when the Democrats take office in 2008, they can take credit for the economic boom that will occur as a result of Bush's economic plans just like Mr. Clinton did over the benefits of Reganomics.
This is how the game is played, and I hope that, no I pray that things improve and who ever wins in Novemeber, my rights will remain intacted, I have money in my pocket to spend, and food on my table.
If Bush really wants to win this election he needs to do two things right now. One sanction companies that send US jobs abroad and sanction the Gas and Oil companies for this price gouging we are now all forced to endure.
And I have to be honest, Kerry using the JFK intials is just plan bad politics and in bad taste. His name might share the intials of JFK, but he NOT JFK.
