Do you care if I share one of my answers? To Witch Hazels question.?

Question

I don’t vote for the party, I vote for the man.

Our President of the United States has gotten the same rotten deal that President Clinton got from the drive by media.

I voted for President Clinton and like President Bush, the media never gave either of them a chance to do the job we voted them into office for.

I also voted for Al Gore.

I’m sitting here in disbelief that so many seniors are not well read enough and are so miss informed that they are not able to form their own opinion.

It’s clear to me that this clique/ an exclusive circle of people with a common purpose do not have respect for MY President of My country, no matter what his politics are.

Do you not remember the days of yore, when all people stood UNITED.

If you have it your way, you would be living in a Socialist /communistic society.

If you want your posterity to live in this demented liberal society, that will only get worse, so be it.

I intend to support the next President be it he or she.

“ If you can read this thank a teacher and since it’s in English, thank a soldier !! ”

Don't be fooled. The Democrat politicians are also wealthy.

Michael Dernell, if you think our economy is bad, then you also listen to the dry by media.

Mr. Ed. I was refering to those who answered witch hazel's question and my opinion of this clique of some of the seniors on the senior section, not the rest of the world.

I can not compare President Bush to Hitler. I am realistic. If any President was comparable to Hitler or any other dictator, I would have the good sense not to be led by him.

The Electoral College is intended to dilute the votes of population centers that may have different concerns from the majority of the country.The system is designed to require presidential candidates to appeal to many different types of interests, rather than those of a specific region or state. Without it states like California would have the biggest say in government.

Quote from: The Prince by Machiavelli,

"Because how one ought to live is so far removed from how one lives that he who lets go of what is done for that which one ought to do sooner learns ruin than his own preservation: because a man who might want to make a show of goodness in all things necessarily comes to ruin among so many who are not good. Because of this it is necessary for a prince, wanting to maintain himself, to learn how to be able to be not good and to use this and not use it according to necessity."

The above advice is not the common advice given to mayors, senators, presidents, and others in public office. Still, we know that the above advice is practical and will best get the official more power or give the republic less problems.

We are naive if we think that every President or other leaders in power has not had to manipulate the system in order to make Democracy work.

It is my opinion that the Bush haters are the far left, the liberal elitists, the special interest groups, most Holly wood celebrities, the environmentalists the wanna be’s, the drive by media and not necessarily
all Democrat’s

Thanks for the thumbs up. As far as the thumbs down goes, it is evident that we must always have the Electoral College vote.

Like my good friend Arnold says, " I'll be back."

Answer 1

I for one like my wine aged!

Thank You for your time
and your opinion!

Bye Now!

Answer 2

The nice thing about a democracy such as ours is that we can all vote for whom we want, and can all share our opinions on any subject. Just because some of us do not agree with anothers politics, does not make us mortal enemies. I have voted Republican, Democratic, Independent, and yes, even for the Green Party. I vote for the "person" and his or her stance on different subjects. You say that seniors are driven by the media as to our opinions of the president. Maybe so. But, where do YOU get YOUR information ?....from the MEDIA ! So I guess that you are also "media driven". You must really have blinders on not to see the ruin that Bush has created in 7 years. He has alienated more contries than any previous president, and, he is trying to strip as many civil liberties from the public as he possibly can. Things are NOT improving under Bush. He's digging us a deeper hole as each day passes. Bush is getting as close to a dictatorship as I ever want to see. I'll gladly stand behind my president, regardless of party affiliation, when that president (finally) puts the peoples interests before his own.

Answer 3

On one hand I see your point...however, in the case of our current President, I did not vote for him...was willing to 'give him a chance' and yet, at every point during his Presidency he has proven himself to be so much less than I could ever accept as my leader. Sorry, that is how I feel. I DO vote for whom I think the best candidate and am not a staunch party line voter, but this time his tenure has been not only a dangerous one, leading us into the worse time in recent history with foreign policy, but also has been denigrating to the very PEOPLE he was chosen to serve.

And FYI supporting one's country and what it stands for does not necessarily require supporting a numbskull in office. THAT is why we have the right to vote him out of office. Why would I support someone who stands for everything I am against, Pray tell?

Given your premise, if he were Hitler we should back him, respect him etc. just because some ignorant voters put him in office? THING ABOUT IT.

BTW - I am thankful I am wholly educated and can read this...Bush was not responsible for this, thank God.

Answer 4

I remember reading about the Bush's having owned oil companies and the father of Asama Bin Laden having a government protected building right here in the USA. I think its a bit scary, however: I do believe Bush has done some good, a lot of good. But seems to me like he has waited until the last year to do that goodness. I admire you for admiring your President. What I don't admire is people voting for the sake of keeping one party in office. All of the politicians are really acting childish. When Clinton was in, they obsessed with his sex life. It was ridiculous, you couldn't walk into a store without seeing some smut all over the papers. They rarely publicize the good efforts of anyone in office. Not the papers anyhow, maybe some special reporter in a magazine, but not the papers, not too often. The American people are in the middle of a fight for who's party is going to win, when it should be all about whose party is the best to do the job. GB and GL

Answer 5

Gee Willikers - this is some question. No I am not a member of a clique on this site! Yes I am a senior (66) and am also able to make well researched and competent decisions. However, respect is not ladled out like soup - it is earned! I do NOT respect our present Pres.because he lied to the American people on the subject of WMD and he further made up his mind that HE was going to war - - - and to he// with the consequences. How can you respect a man like that - regardless of his office?

Answer 6

Well my dear, first of all, I don't see the media giving tax cuts to the very wealthy, giving huge oil contracts to his friends, having almost his entire cabinet resign under his command. What has this to do with media and policy failures or poor to non existent policy? This is not about media at all it is about politics. Dont try and blame the media for this mess.

You can keep YOUR president but this country still belongs to US, the people of the United States.

Answer 7

I think you are coming across as rather judgmental of seniors, we are informed, well read and able to formulate our own perceptions of what this president has or has not accomplished. You insinuate that we are clueless, by far, we are well educated, many have masters and PhD"s here,
We have been around the block multiple times. This president has lied on so many occasions, ruined our economy and killed so many young soldiers....where are the weapons of mass destruction that he began this war over?????? Him and his rich daddy with their Texas Oil.....hm mm who is controlling the oil prices???? Do you not consider what that is doing to the price of everything else???
BTW, I voted for Gore, when I went to bed, he was ahead, then in the morning Bush was ahead, but I lived in the county (Broward) that couldn't vote correctly, remember? And of course Bush's little brother was the governor then and he had pledged the state of FL to his brother....hmmmmm

Thanks Carol G, you are right on the money with the electoral vote!

Answer 8

I am a registered democrat and will vote for whomever i believe is the best of all evils...
Unfortunately, i still think our system is screwed up and only the wealthy, looking out for special interests even make it to present their platforms after primaries so it is frustrating.

I have immense respect for the office and the role of our president but it is their responsibility, regardless of party, to represent the people and if they completely disregard all of us as Bush has and chose to represent large corporation and follow the money, I have the right to object and withdraw support.

I have disagreed with previous presidents, dems and reps, but I have never been so ashamed because of one before.

Answer 9

Wow! This question really surprised me, although of course there are those that still follow blindly.

It has been a pr oven fact that Pres.Bush has been dishonest and led the people of America, astray.

Be Patriotic by all means. But look at other countries and tell me if you were a citizen of some of those countries, would you still follow them blindly. Like the President of Pakistan for instant. We cannot look at others, and object if we look to our own and pass over anything they say or do.

Answer 10

I appreciate your thoughts on this manner and do thank a teacher daily for my education, and solirs for helping protect this country.
For the most part I support the Pres. whether I voted for them or not. However, I do not support Bush. If he had his way he would be a dictator. He has already taking away rights I fought for in my youth. I am so very tired of his lies and disregard for Americans and the sodiers he vows to protect.

Answer 11

first of all let me start out by saying i respect the position but in no way do i have to respect the person in that position -- i was forced to do that for 20 years in the military -- there were a number of times i had to bite my tongue and respect the rank but not the man!!!! bush has lied or let his understudies lie for him too many times -- in my estimation he will go down as the worst president we every had -- same with clintion what he did in private life by taking advantage of people by using his power is unforgivable and he lost any respect i could muster -- as for be well read and inform i will take you on any day any place == since i had my stroke i can not always get my point across the way i would like but don't you ever have to Gaul to lump me in with how you see the rest of the world!!!
