President Bush’s Administration couldn’t have been worse for the American people if Osama Bin Laden had been the head of operations. The assault on middle and working class families, taking middle class jobs overseas for cheap labor on our tax dollar. The greed of corporate America! Welcoming illegal immigrants to invade our nation taking additional jobs and suppressing wages, as well. A housing mortgage scandal (scam) has taken our homes from us through Bush’s and Republicans’ deregulation of the banks. A failing education system not supported by the business community and the cost of college has risen tremendously, in the past 8 years, making it more difficult for our children to experience the American Dream. The cost of gas has almost tripled since Bush invaded Iraq for revenge and oil and threatens to invade Iran. HELL YEAH, I’M BITTER!
This President has used our blessed Constitution as his personal toilet paper, after having sworn to protect it, twice! Multiple ways of spying on U.S. citizens, doing away with Habeas Corpus (a pillar of our Constitution), making citizens enemy combatants, engaging in torture while lying about it, the use of imminent domain as a way to take Americans’ private property to give to a developer to make money. I’M, KISS MY ASS BITTER!
The failure of our military has nothing to do with our brave men and women in uniform, but the strategies of George Bush has weakened our Armed Forces, literally. He’s used/abused them and has created an image of a super army that is more of a paper tiger. The world sees that for all of our strengths, military equipment, money and might, we’re not as powerful as most people around the world believed. The curtain has been raised on the wizard and the power of the U.S. is less awed. Invading Iraq has created a karma the U.S. will be re-cooperating from for a long time. By the way, we’re in the midst of reaping the seeds we continue to sow in Iraq – a failing economy, loss of jobs, inflation, high oil prices, decreasing middle class, loss of homes, fires, floods, storms, droughts, an ever growing debt, etc. I’M LET’S LOCK UP BUSH AND CHENEY FOR HIGH CRIMES AND NOT UPHOLDING THE CONSTITUTION BITTER.
The value of our dollar keeps decreasing due to our importing more goods than we export and a poor fiscal policy. It has decreased even more with so-called American businesses moving overseas for cheap labor, leaving service jobs with lower wages. The money for the war in Iraq and the tax cuts to the rich and big business has been borrowed mainly from China and Japan, further increasing our trade deficit. We are closing in, quickly, on at $10 trillion debt with our grand children (maybe great grands) having to participate in the payback. $12 billion a month is spent in Iraq.
The Secretary of Treasury Paulson, and the Fed Chairman Bernanke are introducing economic and financial policies that have very little long term stimulus. Each time Bernanke lowers the prime interests rates, the value of your money on hand and in the bank lowers. The bail out of Bear Stearns that Bernanke and Paulson agreed on should have been a loan to Bear Stearns, not a give away. This is a moneymaking establishment. Give the people back their money. They should be re-negotiating many of these mortgages to allow single homeowners to maintain their homes. The whole country would benefit. Sorry speculators, developers and those with multiple homes, you are not included. I’M CORPORATE SELL OUT BITTER!
The longterm prognosis for the U.S. is fine if we create new economic bubbles with good paying jobs in fixing our infrastructure and building energy independence through alternative fuels. NOT MORE OIL! MORE OIL WILL NOT MAKE IT MORE AFFORDABLE DUE TO THE DEMAND FOR IT. We will need a jobs program to rebuild the infrastructure and expand our economy and build a tax revenue base to deal with our debt. We also need a President that sees the low value of our dollar as a way to get manufacturing going again in the U.S. making our products more affordable to the world. Even if it means enticing foreign producers here, in order to do it.
To blame Barack Obama for telling a truth you don’t want to hear is about as stupid as spitting against the wind. THE TRUTH HURTS! But it’s better to deal with each other from the point of truth, than basing reality on chaotic lies.
QUESTION EVERYTHING! THAT'S WHERE THE TRUTH RESIDES.
Everything you say is true Capt. All of us are angry and bitter with just
cause. This is just another nit picky way of stone throwing.
Catty, there are times you want to scream out at the media, STICK TO THE
ISSUES! The sideshow is a distraction to what's important and those who
want to maintain the status quo will attempt this till November. It's up
to Americans to be smarter and less fearful this time!
Even though I am a Canadian I am upset about how Bush's errors have caused
our military to have to fight in this god forsaken war too.Hell we were
practically on the hit list of the U.S.A when at first we resisted joining
the war.I can not wait until you get a new president!
Angela, I can't believe that 45% of the people in this country is for
McCain considering how the Republican Party has ruined this nation over the
last almost 8 years. I would think you are either rich or stupid or both
to vote for ANY Republican at this point. Some people are slow learners.
Capt., there are a lot of single issue voters here in PA also, so I'm sure
there are plenty in the rest of the country. We stopped hanging around
with one couple because the wife said she would only vote for candidates
who were pro-life. It didn't matter if they were Democrat or Republican.
They could have been corporate whores who wanted all women out of the
workforce, mandatory prayer in all schools, euthanasia for everyone over
75, death penalty for sex crimes against children, amnesty and open borders
for all, because as long as they were pro-life the rest didn't matter.
How's that for short sighted and stupid.
Catty, it's unbelieveable that people are that way but it's a sign that
Americans' ability, to analyze life conditions, is wanting. I'm hoping
Pennsylvania will surprise us - in a good way.
Uh. I was thinking.
I'm not bitter, I'm mad as hell! In all my years as a voter Ive never
been able to vote for anything but the lesser of two evils. I'm so angry
that the truth is shunned by so many people. I'm mad as hell that our
country is being sold out to the highest bidder and will leave our children
with crumbs, I am mad as hell that people running for the highest office
in our country can laugh and joke about their lies and proclaim that most
of the country doesn't count because they dont conform to their wishes,
To lie is one thing, To throw it in our faces with laughter and treat us
like ignorant fools is something else all together! I''m MAD as HELL
that many people will let thhem get away with it!
Mel, if you look over on the Democrat side of the aisle in the House Of
Representatives you will see the diversity that you think we should have in
government. However, when you look over on the Republican side there's a
sea of white folks - no Blacks, maybe 5 Hispanics, and a couple of Asians.
Well thats the thing sir, that diversity is very minute. It's not enough.
The people need to realize this too. It's like going to NYC and looking at
all the sexy women, compared to going to a state where diversity is not so
potent. Options and competition is what America was built on, and one of
thee sacred principles of our Economy. Then theres also that thing that
most republicans are "rich".
