What it means to be an American

[skysidhe]

I like you maggie but Bush is the antichrist.

Yes I am a socialist democrate who will probably vote for McCain if he runs.

My perspective is I have never liked him and he gave me nothing to change my mind.

I see nothing redeeming. Here are the few of my reasons. He used the Christian right to get elected. He ran on the banner of 'compassionate conservative' He said we would not be the policemen of the world. He hasn't funded no child left behind. The states are either cutting classes or raising taxes or whatever to comply with the law. Your federal taxes went down but your social security taxes doubled. Mentally ill people are out in the streets. We didn't have to invade Iraq. Iran was always the threat. I don't even need to go into the corruption part of the mismanagement.

I don't think people are being unreasonable alarmists. We as a nation need to recognize the ripple effect. We should not do things 'just because we can'.

shallow? people are scared or frustrated

clever? I see lots of restraint. If I give you a rope and you hang yourself with it it isn't my fault.

devoid of real content? probably dumb struck. It isn't the time for rhetoric as usual. There's too much at stake.


I am curious. What do you think this administration has been good at? Where is the positive that you see because I am not seeing it.
