A turd blossom by any other name is still a turd blossom. John McBush is now 100% Bushy. I'll grant you he didn't used to be. But he decided it was more important to get the neo-con backing he needed and Flip Flop all over the place than be consistent. (note: Please don't ask be to submit all the things he's went completely 180 on. I've already done that several times and it's wearing out my mouse.):)

Well I do listen to the News... that's why they call it The News. But it's not a big secret Bush's economic policies have not been fair and his skyrocketing of the debt... much of it borrowed from Communist China is a long term economy killer. Granted it takes awhile... interestingly about 2 terms. It's exactly what happened to Bush's father when the massive Reagan deficit spending crashed in on him. And that helped put him one term & out... it was that bad.




Well by the grace of God it most certainly could be you. Heartless analogies aside there are good reasons for some safety nets in society. Why care about Workers Compensation... I'm not hurt (yet). Why have Unemployment Insureance... my wife & kids & I aren't living on the streets before I can find another job (yet). 


Believe me... and I've seen this FIRST HAND from big talking "no public benefits people". They whine for their benefits when their life hits a rough patch much... MUCH louder than the guy that cares about others all along.   




There is a little more to drilling oil than just... there's some oil there. The fact is I see us doing both some extra drilling (and I believe they are in the planning stages to enlarging at least one refinery) along with a big push for improved gas mileage and alternative fuels & technology. The future is not going to be nearly as oil based as it is today... that's just a fact.


I'd compare it to coal burning locomotives. Necessity is the mother of invention and a combination of things, pollution... oil prices... new & better technology is just at the beginning of ushering in many new things in the power and fuel industries.


 


No John McCain is just a war monger period. The Iraq comment just shows he's also stupid.

I think it's pretty clear we don't need a genius. We just need someone who isn't a frickin' idiot with a big chip on their shoulder.


Troops in Afganistan... absolutely. Bin Laden started the real (not made up by Bush) 9-11 scenario. We have every right to kick a$$ on that front.


Troops in Kuwait... If they want us there seems like a good location. 


Turkey... same scenario and on...


Being unpaid World Police in some deluded Nation Building scheme refereeing a Civil War that will go on and on just like the Israeli & Palestinian conflict. Nope... In fact it was about the stupidest thing in the world to go in the first place. 


To quote the first President Bush... Not gonna do it. No exit strategy there.
