For the past eight years under the current Republican presidential administration, we've witnessed America's economic system go from bad to worse. This administration has committed thousands of American soldiers to a war that is not justified because 'weapons of mass destruction' were never found, which is what the United States supposedly went into Iraq for. We all know that Osama bin Laden is alive and well somewhere in the world, and the President has yet to bring this man to justice before the American people to stand trial for acts of terrorism and murder committed on U.S. soil on September 11, 2001. Why? The Bush and Bin Laden families have financial ties, which have existed for many years.

Although I believe that our Federal Government is indeed one huge corporation, and there is nothing no President can do whomever he or she may be that will change institutionalized governmental gangsterism, I still believe in some kind of change which is why I voted for Barack Obama today. Like so many Americans, I desire to see a few changes in this country. I'm tired of this Republican-run White House and a bunch of men in power who really doesn't have this country's best interest at heart. I'm tired of making excuses for politicians whose heart has waxed cold toward elderly citizens and the poor. There are far too many churches and Christian (Republican) politicians in the state of Georgia for thousands of people to be homeless. It irritates me to no end that Georgia is a republican state. I am sick to death of some of these silly-ass laws currently in place, which continuously perpetuate institutionalized racism which also includes discriminatory practices, racist/prejudiced attitudes and behaviorism in all facets of American life. I want all Republicans who hold positions of government (local, state and federal) in Georgia to be voted out of office or run out of office.

 

You have caused American taxpayers billions of dollars on senseless projects and wars! You have bankrupted this country to the point that now foreigners devour it in our midst! You have bullied foreign nations to the point that now they hate America and would like nothing better than to see this country's demise!

 

Based on the economic hardships Georgia citizens (really citizens across the entire nation) are currently experiencing, another Republican president for another four-year or eight-year term would not be in this country's best interest. In fact, the powers that be would love to see another Republican president in the White House so that their agenda(s) could continue to be carried out. There are powerful people in this country that wants America to become more economically crippled. They want more terrorist attacks upon U.S. citizens. Why? So they could declare martial law, take away civil liberties, and finally, change the Constitution of the United States in order to establish a dictatorship in this country. This may sound unrealistic, but it's not.

understanding message

to maxy 74, you have stated very well how I feel about what is happening. I agreed with every word. Why aren't people outraged to do anything about it? What would it take to get these people out of there? Why aren't these people run out on a rail? While we work our asses off trying to get bills paid, they send people out to get killed and then retire living the good life while writing a book. I am sick of it, and I wish I could do something about it.

State your case....

 

I'm not particularly satisfied with the Bush administration either.  But is it fair to apply the image of the Bush "administration" to ALL Republicans?  Should McCain suffer because of an inept predecessor?  Would he necessarily drag the war out or take down bin Laden and end this black hole of a war?  American intel KNOWS where Bin Laden is, they have him in their sniper's sights, we could get someone in office to order his destruction and satisfactory stability, as well as the decline of the madrasas (terrorist breeding grounds). 

 

Okay, why should I vote for Obama?  Or Hilary?  Or McCain? 

 

Why I like Obama: 

 

His platform supports the middle class, supposedly giving them a "tax break", cares about using alternative fuel sources that decrease our dependance on foreign oil which ties into increasing American economy, cleaner burning fuels are better for the environment, and gas prices decrease.  He wants to inhibit insurance companies from using "pre-existing" conditions to deny life-saving healthcare and decreasing the price of premiums (which have grown 4x the rate of salaries).

 

Why I like Hilary:  A shorter list, she has economic plans fleshed out as far as regulating the housing market, supports finding alt. energy sources, reforming the FMLA,  as well as an advocate for women.

 

Why I like McCain:  Seems efficient with a specific counter-insurgency purpose in Iraq, dissemble Al Qaeda and disarm Sunni/Shia militias. supporting Tort Reform to stop frivolous lawsuits that increase healthcare costs, and building allies with Mexico and other 3rd world countries to help them evolve their economies/democracy so that their citizens won't flee to America and contribute to the problem of taxing American resources and the insecurity of our border to possible terrorism. 

 

 

So, who to vote for?  State your case, because I'm still deciding.

We have the power of the vote and we're not using it.
