Violence is down...highest death toll to date...trillions spent...did you ever feel you were being cheated ?

Question

I do and I'm ready for change, how about you ?

by Neal Boortz ...i've got more time in the chow line than you have in the military...i helped win the cold war...how you doing, boy?

and i'll spit on you as i see fit...not because of what you do but because you deserve it

Answer 1

To say I'm being cheated is an understatement. Our children and possibly our children's children will be paying dearly for this unholy war, and not just financially either. I can only be thankful that I have not lost any children to this administrations' blunders.

Answer 2

There will be a long, long list of people going to federal prison by 2010. Approaching 2 trillion dollars on what? The troops' salaries? They were already on the payroll! On rebuilding Iraq? Nothing has been rebuilt! On military hardware replacement? Barely any equipment was lost! Cheney is preparing to flee to Dubai for a reason. He doesn't want to share a bunk with Bush in the Federal pen.

Answer 3

Change is your concern...and how you were cheated. Gee, then why aren't your conservative ? Ya, I'm sure its all the rage for you to bash Bush, its the "in" thing to do but for most people that do it, you haven't clearly thought of what the man has done.
He has tackled Katrina, 911, the rising treat of Iran, Iraq war, North Korea becoming nuclear, he has tried to take on issues that were unpopular when he could have just kicked then down to the next president and do nothing. He brought up legislation to try and reform social security but the democrats talked it down and then shot it down. Ya, sure, maybe Katrina relief was mishandled, but that largely was the fault of the local and state Governments. The Feds aren't suppose to rush off like international red cross when there's a disaster. Sure, it was botched a bit, but consider the wild fires of San Diego in California. The community pulled together, helped themselves out, there wasn't the big looting, raping, crime, etc that happened after Katrina. And the difference you might ask ? New orleans had been under 30 years of democratic / liberal rule. San Diego for the most part has been conservative.
That's the ideology behind conservatism. It doesn't preach that your all victims waiting for Government hand outs and cheese, it preach's hope for tomorrow that you can be independant, you can make it all by yourself and that big Government should stay out of your way.
You want to base your political beliefs on the war alone ? So simple it must be for you to sit back and complain while there's people putting their lives on the line so you can enjoy the blanket of freedom the country provides for you. You would be livid if you knew how the Government wastes your tax dollar every year in kick backs, unnecessary expenditures, ear marks, special interests. Yet just because you know the price tag on the war...which might give us a stable ally in an uneasy region, you want to whine.
You want change ? vote for Hilary....then when she push's the Government towards socialism, and your rationed on heath care, and have to pay more than 3 months of yearly salary in taxes to support her agenda's and new programs. Or maybe when you have cancer and have to be put on a waiting list...like Canada or they tell your pregnant wife to stay at home..like in the UK or that they require you to have heath insurance to work, but you can't smoke...and you can't eat trans-fats, then I suppose the next generation of Americans will look up to you and say gee, thanks dad for screwing up America.

Answer 4

Yes, and I can't believe there are people who still support the outright theft of trillions of our tax dollars in a big giveaway to defense companies and private contractors in a country that had nothing to do with 9/11.

Answer 5

If you depend on the Government Changing themselves, your a fool...

We must start voting for men and women who will vote what is good for our country, not what is good for themselves for power.

If your an anti-war zealot, then learn what happens to those who are pacifistic

Answer 6

Nope.

Things are great!

I'm headed over to fight in a few weeks.

How about you?

What have you done for your country lately?

Will you spit on me when I return?

Answer 7

No.

Iraqi lives are important to me.

Answer 8

everything you talking about--can be dropped in Jimmy Carters Lap--but that was to far back in history--for you to know about--or understand

Answer 9

there have been very few days since 01/2000 that America "hasn't' been cheated.......................
