Politics - 8 November 2006

Before Dems even take charge, the stock market soared to a new all time High. Why is America so optimistic?

In a matter of moments, our nation has taken a backward step. Rather than building upon the lessons of the past, Americans choose a political party that has voiced their will to turn against our troops by cutting their funding, hoping for failure in Iraq, and to lesson our security measures that have helped safeguard this country since the attacks five years ago.

With an economy that has steadily improved since the fallout in 2001, and a nation at war against an extreme ideology, American’s have chosen not to “stay the course” but rather duck and run. Apparently, on November 7, 2006 we felt it necessary to vote in politicians who want to raise taxes to limit the economic growth, raise minimal wage in order to increase outsourcing of blue collared jobs, and limit our security measures allowing us to be more of a target to the outside world.

Some argue that Iraq is a bigger threat with Saddam Hussein out of power. I would suppose that may be true if you believe that Saddam would not have given way to Iran’s power or the Islamic hatred toward the Western World. Apparently an Iraqi leader defiant over 17 U.N. resolutions calling for oversight or face military action doesn’t matter either. Regardless, Iraq is at war with itself.

The party who has voiced its opposition to the Iraq war, who has called for imminent withdrawal and to honor human rights to the captives caught on the battlefield hoping to kill Americans last night received political power.

I would be shocked at last night’s events, but one would have to be disillusioned to be so. A nation that continues to defy moral and ethical values, a nation that continues to turn against those who fight and give their life to freedom and a nation that chooses politicians with European ideals can not be shocking.

One can only hope that the failure to act will not cause the rise of another world power such as Nazism. However, if you look back at history you would know that Winston Churchill warned against this a decade prior to the death of 7 million Jews and WWII. I hope you can use your senses and understand that the party voted in last night, could care less about the rise of extreme views of the Middle East, nuclear threats, or the likes of world leaders calling for the destruction of Israel and America.

America…now is the time to wake up.

Why do Americans shout about how great their nation and army is and how they are going to win the war but when they are sent to war and start getting killed, the tide turns and they want to get them home!! Is joing the army and the possiblity of being killed not part of standing up and defending your nation? Why do the British not react in the same way?

Seriously, look at any question by a conservative, even plausible ones, that are not absurd, you name call and celebrate

Celebrate without the name calling

At least show that you are mature enough to win

Looks now like it may be Clinton vs McCain in 2008. Powell could be on either ticket. Is either electable, and would Powell be an asset on either side?

Seriously, in your opinion, either in raw numbers, or in proportion or percent, how many American citizens do you think are terrorists or are people who hate America?

Question directed primarily at Republicans, but I'd be interested in anyone's response. (Question motivated by the bandying about of these phrases.)

He got out of Vietnam by claiming a sore anus. A failure at being a liberal disc jockey named 'rusty', he became a welfare case, then was arrested in Pittsburg for soliciting homosexual prostitutes! Later he claimed that he voted for ronald reagan when in fact he voted against him. He then became a devious drug addict who violated federal drug laws and got off scott free, due his contacts in the republican-led government, for whom he is a loyal parrot. He now calls himself rush, would YOU trust this shameless druggy hack??
