OK, You want him!!???

What to look forward to in 2005

Published on September 10, 2004 By Timmoth In Democrat

Although I haven't give up hope completely, the fact that Republicans are able to pull better than 50% of the country with them is very troubling for Kerry supporters and very real to those watching the election campaigns. I have tried to finess, explain as clearly as I possiblly could, and made comparisons that I thought no one would agree with--echoing many different sources that I thought really had an angle on what is truly going on in this country. I'm not talking about the rumor mills or deceitful attemps to bring down candidates with scandal or technicalities but real trends that seem to be taking place and that you can count on from people.

Bush scares me. It's as simple as that. It's not because he's rich, is a strong candidate, or even a Republican. I imagine most Republicans probably will say hurray to most of what I put down. I just hoped people who controlled the most powerful country on Earth would be a little more compassionate. Anyway, these are some very real possibilities if George Bush is elected President for another term.

Foriegn Policy:
1. The willingness to go into any country on a pre-emptive basis, whether or not the country agrees with him.
2. The continued use of National Guardsmen as active duty soldiers.
3. What the Administration wants is right regardless of the interests and concerns of the rest of the world.
4. A perpetual search for oil and other fossil fuels
5. A downplaying of Environmental Interests

Domestic Policy:
1. Rich will get richer
2. Poor will get poorer
3.Programs like healthcare, welfare, and social security, infact anything of a social nature, will be privatized or eliminated.
4.Education will be great for those who can afford it and lousy for those who cannot.
5. Taxes will go down but you'll pay more for things to make up the difference.
6. Environmental Interests will be downplayed, cut or made obsolete.
7. The middle class will shrink as people become either poor or rich.
8. It will become all about the bottomline. I personally think a lot of hard working people will be left behind from everything from jobs to healthcare. As I said, I expect a lot of you to become more poorer. Why, because providing for middle America is not on his agenda.

Well, there's no way to tell right now, but if you get what you want. Enjoy!

Foreign:

1. Which country has GW Bush invaded without Senate authorization?
2. So are you saying that National Guard units should not be called up in time of war? Are you sure you mean National Guard and not Army Reserve?
3. Please replace "rest of the world" with "France, Germany, Russia". We have the support of the UK, Italy, Japan, S. Korea, Poland to name a few.
4. So you want to stop searching for fossil fuels?
5. This is true.

Domestic:

1. This is bad because?
2. Hasn't happened
3,4. Bush has been spending money on social programs like a drunken sailor. Why are you against allowing people to invest their Social Security money?
5. I would rather spend my money myself than send it to Washington and have Congress or a bureaucrat decide to spend it. What is so great about having the government spend your money for you?
6. Mostly true
7. Not true. What makes you think the middle class will shrink?
8. Over 1 million jobs have been created in the last year, and most pay above the national average. How is that leaving people behind?

Don't rely too heavily on those numbers. They're failing to factor in Michael Badnarik, the Libertarian Party candidate, who maybe strong enough in battleground states to affect the numbers.

Here's some real possibilities if Kerry is elected:

Domestic:

Not that I agree with everything Bush does, but I'd much rather have somebody with a plan or some path to follow in office.

2. The continued use of National Guardsmen as active duty soldiers.

You can chalk that one up to not enough people (US Citizens) signing up for active duty, and are you implying that the National Guard and Army Reserve don't get called up for Active Duty during times of war? and can't do a job as well as an active duty soldier?
