how is this good for our country??? repubs and neocons please answer?

Question

i'm baffled, repubs or neo-cons please answer.. how is it good that this pres has spent about 600 billion on borrowed credit for this war, helped lift trade tarrifs rewarded major corparations with tax cuts for out sourcing american jobs, wants to go to war with iran, gave no bid contracts to dick cheneys buddies at halliburton, future generations will be debted at birth. yes your kids will pay for this mess. so how is all this spending and war mongering good for the future of america and its people????

Answer 1

Not relative to the election. What are you talking about, for real?

Answer 2

Part of your rant is incorrect.
(1.) The Halliburton contracts were let under the Clinton administration. Dick Cheney resigned when he became VP.
(2.) American job outsourcing can be blamed on unions and greed. It is a matter of economics. When it becomes unprofitable to stay in business in the U.S., jobs go elsewhere. We lived in Buffalo NY after the steel jobs left and a lot of people blamed the unions. Most 'American' companies are actually international comglomerates and they look for the best deal.
(3.) The threat of terrorism is real, 9/11 was not a dream. The Islamic hardliners really do intend to convert everyone to their radical view. Or kill you if you resist. It is as simple as that.
(4.) If you do not take #3 seriously, you won't have to worry about our kids paying 'for this mess.' Our sons will become brainwashed, our daughters will become chattel, we will move either into the Dark Ages or a nuclear holocaust.
(5.) Iran is a radical Islamic country even though its people are fed up with its President and being repressed. But, radical Islam endorses suicide if the end justifies the means. So, they would have no conscience against nuking the U.S.
(6.) Unlike in past world wars (and we are involved in one) the majority of the other side was afraid to die, so they were willing to negotiate. Radical Islam does not fear death. They do not negotiate and their religion sanctions lying to infidels.
(7.) I see by your nickname the word "Longshoreman." It was really sad to see longshoremen refusing to load ships for much needed supplies to our troops when we went into Afghanistan. Their union contracts stipulated their hours, amount of loads, etc., so while they rested, picketed, lounged, etc., our troops died.
(8.) Not a neocon or a republican. Just a realist who gets news from a variety of sources, not just liberal rags or CNN. I have learned to THINK!

Answer 3

And you could have asked the same questions of FDR when we entered ww2. I don't recall any trade tariffs raised, that is a lie. I don't see any indication we are "going to war with Iran"on the contrary we have been doing everything possible to reach a diplomatic solution, the only people saying that are Liberals. The no-bid contracts with haliburton were given out in the 90s, (funny that a great many Democrats in congress own stock in that company). And what were our options about fighting this war? Stick our heads in the sand and hope the problem would somehow go away. It didn't work in the 90s, and after 9-11 it was clear it would never work. So instead of coming on here with some half baked question and a lot of allegations that are completely wrong. Do some research and find out the truth. Preferable from some other sourse that moveon.org and the DNC.

Answer 4

It's not good that we are so in debt, and I am not liberal. But the pres is not the only one that allows corporations pay less taxes, though. Take a look at this article.

"The private equity industry has been on the defensive since earlier this year, when The Blackstone Group, a New York concern that buys and sells companies, went public. Blackstone's initial stock offering highlighted how certain executives can make millions of dollars and pay taxes at a lower rate than do school teachers and police officers.

When members of Congress proposed eliminating that disparity, the industry responded in classic Washington fashion: It upped its political contributions and flooded the capital with lobbyists. According to Bloomberg News, private equity groups have spent $5.5 million in lobbying fees so far this year, almost four times what they spent in 2006.

This campaign has apparently thrown enough sand in the gears of government that any action is unlikely for some time. The Democrats, who control Congress and claim to represent the middle and lower classes, ought to be embarrassed."

And Hillary really loves those H-1b Visas that she can give out to India. We get it coming and going.

Answer 5

How many times do I have to say that Bush is not a real Republican?

Answer 6

I'm sorry but parsing and answering your poorly phrased question would really take a long time...why don't you break it up and I would be happy to address your obvious many misconceptions serially.

Answer 7

I guess it's because the sky is falling.
