If you THINK President Bush is for the rich, you need to get your facts straight before making sweeping statements like that.

FACT: This year, there were 14 million more tax filers than last year that paid NO federal tax due to new deductions that Bush's tax plan allowed....and all of these folks are mid to lower class.

FACT: This year there were more families in the history of income tax that paid NO...that is ZERO federal tax than ever before due to Bush's tax reform. This number was over 100,000,000....all of these familes are lower wage earners.

FACT: Most Americans who earned $20,000 a year or less actually received back MORE money from the federal government than they paid out in withholding. In fact, 90% of these filers got back at least all of their money. Yet, when poled, 55% of all wage earners who made less than $20,000 stated that they pay too much in federal taxes. Seems ironic.

You can't have your cake and eat it to. John Kerry does nothing but criticize the President and offers NO solutions. He makes a larger fool of himself with each passing day.

If you want to blame the rising fuel prices on Bush, you are partially correct. The Arabs are trying to run him out of office. Gee, I wonder why? But the main reason why oil prices are high is the shortage of available refineries (down for service) and our failure to allow oil production in the US (coast and Alaska). These decisions were made by the Clinton Whitehouse.

If you think gas prices are high now, wait for five years when they double. You see, there is a huge market in China that is just now begining to open that will significantly tap into the World's oil refining capabilities. There are experts that estimate oil to hit $70 a barrel within 5 - 6 years. I suppose this will be Bush's fault to.

Lastly consider this: Let's go back to September 10th, 2001. What if the government actually were to shutdown all the airports on that day. What if we announced an invasion of all terrorist camps on that day to strike out at the terrorists? What would the world have said about us then? No, it took a disaster to wake up everyone.

When you speak against the war, you are condoning the actions of terrorists all around the world. We are at war and we have been at war for years, it just took 911 to realize that. These people do not respond to reason. They are trained at a very young age to hate US...YOU! They have millions and millions of kids in school who will grow up to be future bombers...they ARE the WMD.

To have a WMD, you must have ability to use one AND the willingness to use it. There is little doubt that the terrorists would use a WMD on us if they had one. For this reason alone, I say that they don't have them in their posession in any real level. But just as soon as they do, we will be the first ones to know. Are you willing to wait for this to happen?

Hundreds of thousands of Americans have had their lives put on hold in order to prevent another tragety and hundreds have been killed. Let's not undermine their efforts and sacrifices. This will no doubt be a long war and many more will die defending us. I truly believe that our offensive actions have stopped other potential 911's.
