![]() No I am not an uneducated idiot. Let me tell you something about the jerk off republicans we have here in Missouri. At the state capitol last early this year when all the poloticians where in session one of these so called "good guy republicans " said to everyone there that he had no use for a woman in congress and did not want to be in the same room with a black man or any other minority, and they had no business being in politics. Yes I understand that every time a new president comes into office our economy goes down but if you look back when did the economy bounce right back? When a democrat was in office. I don't like Bush and I damn sure didn't like Gore. I do believe if that idiot Gore had become president we would probably be worse off. But I just don't see what Bush is doing for this country. He doesn't care about the disabled or the working man. He has cut medicaid benefits for the disabled. One woman died because she could no longer get medicine that medicaid no longer covered because Bush saw that acid reflux is not a major health concern. He cut the coverage for any type of medication for acid reflux disease. Yes acid reflux if left untreated can kill you.
I am not a die hard democrat, I don't believe in gun control or getting rid of older cars, but what I do believe in is fair wages and better benefits for the working man. The republicans have proven time and time again that they don't care about that. So the democrats get my vote. |

![]() Well, it seems that Midnight only commented in return. You called us "Republicans" undeducated idots for liking a man who did a hell of a job running Texas and who is a strong moral LEADER of our country.
As for the lack of things done for the working and middle class....seems to me that he's been kinda busy with other, more urgent concerns like the safety of our people. Hell, what am I even replying for. I'm sure others can take up the argument much better than I. I didn't do all that hot in debate in high school, but I know what I believe, and I know what I like. Sorry you don't feel the same, but that's America. --nathan

A noticable majority of Americans of all walks of life give the President high marks for his job performance. He's a leader and an honest man. You are free to sit there and call him names but the facts do not support your contentions.

![]() but Jim, you definately have been missed. Your thoughts are very well thought out, and have reasoning to them. Don't get me wrong, I don't like President Bush, but your points are very valid. Take care, Keith

Some cuts have been made in these federal 'entitlement' programs yet Democrats will scream about a huge federal budget deficit. You can't have it both ways and we are fighting a war on terror, as you must have noticed. I do not believe that working taxpayers should be legally required to pay for other people's medical care, including all medications. The concept that if you make it to 65 you suddenly are awarded all your medical care for free is absurd, but that's pretty much the case. Of course seniors and the truly disabled (drug addicts need not apply) deserve some medical help but the list of 'wants' never ends. Now, prescription drugs will soon be near-free. That's nice for grandma, but remember, we, the working taxpayers, pay for this. Nothing is really 'free'. Quote:

1. I'm a Canadian. Canada is a very socialistic country ESPECIALLY compared to the USA. 2. I've belonged the 4 Unions and had Union jobs. 3. I've belonged to 2 Non-Union employers in the same type of work as the union jobs 4. I've lived in the USA and have a decent understanding of US business (thanks Hammer ![]() Now. You, like many miss guided people think that the "grass is greener on the other side". That's fine, you don't know better so one can get really mad at you, you don't know better right! As mentioned above, I'm Canadian. Picture you Mr. Gore and his party and that's what a "right-wing" party is in Canada. Unions are VERY Strong The [u]average[/b] strike in Canada lasts over 3 weeks! And the average Union strikes once every 3 years. Of all the jobs that I have worked in, the Union jobs were the worst. At best, they had EQUAL pay to the non-union jobs, and 95% had LESS benefits. But the biggest problem I see with unions is the working condition. Not the physical one, the mental one. In every Union job I've had there is a very "us vs. them" attitude which makes for poor morale and bad business. And no giving in to Union demands NEVER resolves the problem. All these Social programs, medicare, unemployment insurance, Environmental programs, etc, etc. Cost money. BIG money. Do you know what percentage the average Canadian pays in taxes? Over 65%!!!! And unfortunately I'm not average, I pay more than that! So for every $1 I earn I only get about $0.33 to spend on things I want....Think about it for a minute. A new mustang in Canada costs about $32,000 (Canadian $). I have to make approximately $90,000 of income NOT INCLUDING INTEREST to buy that car!!!! Now it's not an accuarate number because some of the taxes are already buried in the cost of the car. Trust me, going left-wing, does not work. It kills the middle income worker, it kills people with drive, it cripples governments and destroys economys. I could go one, but I don't want to bore everyone to death. |

![]() Ok everybody has their own opinion on things. If I could get ahold of my BA from the union I would be able to tell you just exactly who it was that stated they didn't like minorities. And as far as prevailing wages driving up the cost of building you are wrong. The cost of building is about 60/40. 60% being cost of materials and 40% being labor. Oh and prevailing wages do not pertain just to federal jobs. I have worked on houses, schools, restaurants, shopping malls, you name it, all at prevailing wage.
Anyway you all like the president I don't. Big deal. Yeah I pretty much don't like politicians, they are all crooks. |

![]() All i know is reguarless if it is republican or democratic, my taxes go up, prices go up(they seem to never go down!
![]() We should have the institution of "What you put in, is what you get out", but infortunatly, people in higher power dont seem to think so. i am 27. at 67, i doubt i will be able to retire, but that isnt a president's fault, is it? they cant change the course for the future of this country, can they? sure they can. will they? most likely not. so lets work hard, and make sure most of our hard earned money goes into making bombs, fighter planes, tanks and other warfare so we can be number 1! who care if the economy is schit, as long as we got the image we are the bad-asz country of the world, who would mess with the good ole' USA? right? So lets keep making those bombs and other childish crap so we can make sure we can protect our counrty. we dont need to help people in our country, just make sure they are safe. let the people fend for themselves, the government has an image to uphold. question for Jim: So you think Regan was good? p.s. is thier such a thing as deflation?

Remember the depression of 87? Oh wait, there wasn't one. Remember how the Dow dropped 500 points two days in a row? During that fall, it fell off by a bigger % than what caused the great depression. Why do people not really remember it? Greenspan to the rescue. The way he handled that period of time saved the country from panic. He has done the same thing in the past year, not to mention the crashing of internet stocks. Sure, the market is down, but its still up 100% from 10 years ago. Long term investors are less rich than they were, but they are still up. I haven't seen anyone jumping out of windows recently on Wall Street. Have you? The point of all this is to ask the question, "Who appoint Alan?" Yep, our actor President, Ronald Reagan. Next.. Quote:

Ok I'm done now. Something to think about. The most prejudiced members of our history were Democrats. Don't believe me? Up until very recently no self-respect southern man would be a member of the "Pro-Lincoln" Party. Lincoln was a Republican.

![]() So you'd rather live happy-on-the-log and let anyone who gets the idea in their head (and there are many out there) attack the United States and its interests?
Huh....interesting. I wonder what the economy would do with constant attacks on this country resulting from us failing to scare the **** out of people to keep them from attacking us? And I'm not talking about a few extremist terrorists. I'm talking about all the little countries who hate the US. If we didn't have the most powerful military in the world, I guarantee that someone would have tried to pick a fight. It takes more than happy thoughts to keep the peace. --nathan

Too often the Union digs it's heals in and causes a confrontational attitude that makes business appear to be anti-labour, when infact it's not. IMO, Unions cause farmore problems than they are worth. But this is getting off the original topic! Bush is going a good job, especially compared to that ***** **** ******ing Prime Minister we have running our country ![]() |
