Politics - 6 August 2007

In regards to Illegal Immigration: If President Bush would thumb his nose at the people and support illegal aliens into this country primary for businesses as a cheap source of labor despite the clear and undeniable ground swell against. Why do you think he refuses to listen to the people?

And what does his unyielding support of illegals reveal regarding his support for the wealthy vs. the middle class?

Has the fact that there's still no border fence, the INS has not significantly increased, at best there are only sporadic work place round ups of illegals, some local governments are issuing offical ID's and\or turning a blind eye to the fact that this country is being invaded... has President Bush shown his true colors inasmuch as he really doesn't care what the middle class thinks or needs?

Is he all about Wall Street and the wealthy? From my perspective he certainly seems to have a certain disdain for the average working man\woman.

"A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side." Aristotle - 343 B.C.

I understand disagreeing with him on some or all issues, but what is this deal with this hatred for the President? its borderline psychotic.

The nation is in pretty good shape. There could be improvements but thats always true. So why do you hate him so darn much? It just doesnt make sense from an intellectual standpoint.

I see no reason why anyone would like him to be our President.
Here are my reasonings:

1. (Not to be racist) He's black and therefore, political correct pressure is not directed heavily at him. He will possibly be biased to his own race, where as a white man cannot.
2. He's a Buddhist in a Christian dominated country. His beliefs are totally different than the majority of America's.
3. Is it just me, or is there something suspicious about him? Every time I see him or hear him speak, I can't help but feel and untrustworthy vibe coming from him.
4. He's a democrat and look what happened to the last democrat president we had (I know that's not a very good argument because look at President Bush. But he didn't get impeached and he didn't go fooling around with ugly women).

Please give me a few reasons why you like him. This is a legitimate question and I'm not judging. I just want to know why people think he's so desirable because I don't see anything desirable about him.

They caved in once again to Bush...this time on warrantless surveillance.

Why do they talk against Bush overeaching and abuses, but when they get an opportunity to back up their talk, they roll over like patsies....why is that?

I'm not an economist, but then again, most likely you aren't either. On the other hand, the economy affects all of us, so we need to come to grips with these issues to participate intelligently in the political process. There needs to be a genuine national dialog on these issues at all levels.

Corporations like Wal-Mart have forced their suppliers to lower their prices so much that they are forced to move to China. Because of this, a sizeable portion of former well paid, blue collar, manufacturing jobs have been lost.

It really is hard to find anything made in America now a days.

Socialism is not a political system, it's a way of distributing goods and services. Ideally, socialism and capitalism could be very similar as everyone will produce exactly what's needed for exactly who needs it when they need it.

Socialism is liberal. More people (preferably everyone) have some say in how the economy works. Democracy is liberal. More people (preferably everyone) have some say in how the government works.

Communism is conservative. Fewer and fewer people have any say in how the economy works. Republicans are conservative. Fewer and fewer people have any say in how the government works.

"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here."

And I say Praise the Lord to that!!

How 'bout you?

Is it just Vietnam/1960's era nostalgics and young minions stuck in liberal schools who think this way? We're doomed as a country if this is the thought processes of the younger generation. Emotion does not a logical thought make. I'm sad for my future children. This country won't be around for them if my peers (I'm 25 myself) all reason the way most of the folks that answered that question do. :(

Bring on the hate mail...

According to our intelligence community Al Qaeda is regrouping and plotting and planning new attacks.

If that's true how difficult could it possibly be to infiltrate the areas they are in and get them?

Wal-Mart also gets an unusual amount of subsidies from the government (over a billion dollars), shuts down small businesses, drives property values down, exports jobs to China, gives horrible working conditions to sweatshop workers, and shuts down schools, police stations, and others.

and that by using government to provide education and job training, people can rise out of poverty?

"There are, in every country, some magnificent charities established by individuals. It is, however, but little that any individual can do, when the whole extent of the misery to be relieved is considered. He may satisfy his conscience, but not his heart. He may give all that he has, and that all will relieve but little. It is only by organizing civilization upon such principles as to act like a system of pulleys, that the whole weight of misery can be removed... The plan here proposed will reach the whole. It will immediately relieve and take out of view three classes of wretchedness-the blind, the lame, and the aged poor; and it will furnish the rising generation with means to prevent their becoming poor; and it will do this without deranging or interfering with any national measures."

..just curious. All that I hear about is tax cuts, and more military spending. Where exactly should the money come from?

They run from him because they know most Americans do not like or respect the job Bush is doing running the country.

But, how exactly, are they that different then him?

They support the same stay the course strategy on Iraq.

They support his tax cuts and huge increases in defense and security spending, and the resulting deficits that come with it.

And they LARGELY support his limits on abortion, stem cell research, and gay marriage, and his anti-terrorism strategy, government bought by corporate lobbyists, free-trade/outsourcing ideas, etc, etc.

When are the conservatives going to get some backbone and fight these neo-communist liberal democrats who are constantly trying to take what is rightfully ours? Not even a year has gone passed since the dems won and they've already proposed raising the gas tax, cigarette and cigar tax, capital gains tax, income tax, etc. Please tell me that we will vote these S.O.B.'s out of office and send them to the way of the USSR.

What has any increase in federal tax dollars cured?? (meaning the social ills you champion). All the canidates are either suggesting new taxes or repealing the tax cuts of Bush (i.e. raising taxes). How will the new money help when the money all ready being siphoned out of my wallet and redistributed has done nothing to cure the problem?
