Will the American Public come to understand that the present Republican course leads to utter disaster?

Question

The Constitution, the Middle Class, corruption, incompetence, Iraq,
the Environment, Global Warming, our reputation in the World, our Internationall agreements, and our lack of real steps to counter terrorism, where and when it is likely to occur.

Answer 1

It's happening slowly, but it's happening. Still, there will always be a percentage of the population that feels the need to be dominated and lead like sheep. They'll never change.

Answer 2

What do the items on the following list have in common?

Federal environmental regulations* are unconstitutional and have Q: cost millions of jobs for less skilled workers

Welfare and food stamps are unconstitutional**, cost 3-4 times the amount of actual benefits and have led to taxes so high that the working class has difficulty saving up for contingencies.

Public Schools have led to the decline and fall of the educational levels of the American people. In the early 19th century American's were the best educated people in the world. Today the people of 18 different countries are better educated than Americans. Public schooling was implemented in the 1850's and functional literacy rates have dropped from 90% (the average at the time was below 50%) in the early 19th century down to 82% (the average for western nations today is about 95%) in the early 21st century.

Social Security is unconstitutional**, has led to the dependance of people on the government (rather than families) as the source of relief when people are no longer able to work. In addition, prior to Social Security most people saved enough to cover their expenses during retirement and only asked their family or church for money if they were in real need.

A: All of these programs increase the governments ability to control the people and all of them were implemented by liberal democrats.

Answer 3

Since the Democrats have no ideas of their own, other than criticizing Republicans, one would be foolish to believe that voting Democrat will make matters any better. They aren't any less corrupt now than they were when we booted them out in 1994. Same bunch of nuts, no new ideas.

If they are somehow able to get us out of Iraq without causing the country to fall into a full-blown civil war, that's great. But the next thing they will do is try to push their far-left agenda on us domestically, an agenda that will make the nation much worse off than we are now. Yes, it can get worse. Imagine Nancy Pelosi as the 3rd most powerful person in the country. Yikes!

Answer 4

Reputation in the world??? What, are you still in high school?

I think it is about time a president started being aggressive on national defense, especially since--if you read the constitution--protecting our nation is his only real job. Not global warming, not managing the middle class, and certainly not playing patty cake with a bunch of bloated French and German elites.

My job is clearly to vote so as to cancel yours in November...

Answer 5

Its not just a Republican thing, Democrats have sold out their souls too. All we can hope is that someone is coming to collect in the near future. Or everyone realizes that a vote for a Republican not named Ron Paul and a vote for a Democrat not named Obama are both still votes for corporate America to continue writing their own legislation. Maybe people will wake up when the dollar has finished its collapse and they bring us the Amero.

Answer 6

I guess they would come to understand it if you are able to brainwash them enough and tell them believable lies enough times. The trouble with all that is that there are always those that will come behind you and tell them the truth. SUCH AS I AM DOING HERE.

Answer 7

None of what you state seems to make sense! Do you have specifics or is this just rambling.

Answer 8

Do you seriously think the Democrats have a better plan? If they do, I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love to hear it.

As a member of the middle-class who tends to vote Republican, I'm getting tired of hearing that the Republican party is killing the middle class - they aren't trying to take more of my money! The Democrats, on the other hand, like to have one hand in all of our pockets.

Counter-terrorism - what's the Dem plan? Besides an immediate withdrawal from Iraq with our tails between our legs? A lot of people happen to think that if Slick Willie had done his job, we wouldn't be in this mess right now. Don't forget that he was HANDED bin Laden and refused to take him. As soon as things got tough in Somalia, Clinton ran, giving Islamic terrorists the idea that America is all talk. I could go on, but I also realize it's pointless to try and educate you - you formed your opinion and that's that.

One final thought to leave you with....here are some quotes from your lovely Dems regarding Iraq:

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line." - President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998.

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program." President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998.

"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."
Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998.

"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983." - Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998

"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."
Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998.

"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998.

"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies."
Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999.

"There is no doubt that... Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies."
Letter to President Bush, Signed by Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL,) and others, Dec, 5, 2001.

"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them."
Sen. Carl Levin (d, MI), Sept. 19, 2002.

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."
Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002.

"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power."
Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002.

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is using and developing weapons of mass destruction."
Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002.

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..."
Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002.

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force — if necessary — to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002.

"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years . We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."
Sen. Jay Rockerfeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002,

"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do."
Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002.

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction. "[W]ithout question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation. And now he has continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real ...
Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003.
