| What does another 4 years of Bush mean to you
Posted: 11/4/2004 7:14:02 AM | | Four more years of Bush.....it is such a scary thought. I am in the 18-24 age group and the way that this man has handled our country so far does not give me much hope for the next four. Maybe, just maybe he might try and do what he says..in certain cases i sure as hell hope not. especially this draft garbage. | |

Posted: 11/4/2004 10:16:54 AM | Well now...a draft.....We canucks will have to gird ourselves for another tax hike to pay out the welfare benefits that will be damanded by all those folks fleeing to Canada again, rather than staying and getting into the Army.
Remember...it takes about 10 Army personelle to keep 1 (one) soldier in the field...SO...there is plenty of places for a needle to hide in that haystack! (Typical huh?)
A couple years in the Forces would make unemployment with younger people a much smaller problem, wouldn't it? Think of the welfare benefits that would be decreased cause these folks are working! (Transferred to the Army for their expansion....but hey...) side benefits being that folks would gain work experience and (hopefully) a better work ethic, and a bit of pride in themselves too.
You all think being drafted is such a bad thing...why wait? Go join up and BE that needle in a haystack and get a job IN the Army that doesn't put you out in the field. Round up gang members and (LOL...could almost make them supply their OWN firearms!) and stick a weapon in their hands and let them go get trigger-happy "over there" rather than on American streets.
Lots of side benefits that are being overlooked here, for a call for a draft. Lots of jobs supplied...refurbishing old bases and military camps, the spin-off jobs, in all the small towns that always crop up around military camps, etc.
Yep....best thing for the American economy...a draft...and it will regain many of those jobs that the various corporations have outsourced to other countries (while recieving gov't tax breaks for doing so), and basically give the youth of America a better understanding about how the REAL world works, rather than the introverted navel-gazing attitude many now have. | |

I think the Patriot Act has done what Bin Laden and a whole slew of Russian dictators couldn't. Change the way Americans live.
I understand your concerns, but I hate to break it to you.... Most of the stuff in the Patriot Act... well they could do it anyway. If you think that certain agencies within the government didn’t have many of those powers before... you are kidding yourself.
This just gave it a more public venue, so they could do it on a mass scale without raising suspicion.
In fact I heard someone on here talking about how now the president can declare marshal law... Ah, as far as I know, whenever our country is at war, marshal law can be declared. They didn’t need new legislation for that.
Hell FEMA has more power then you could possibly imagine....
Do they use it... not really... at least they haven’t yet...
But see that’s the sword of Damocles hanging over our heads... isn’t it?
To be honest the freedoms we enjoy, are only good and true, if they are protected by honorable men. I don't see any honorable men in power. Not here. Not anywhere. That's my sword and that's the truth. | |

whether it's logical or not, soldiers don't appear out of thin air. the troops are being stretched thin enough. and with the upcoming problems with Iran and North Korea we could be in even worse shape. other countries need to step up to the plate. | |

No, I'm saying that the liberal political agenda is nonsense, and we're going to prove it to the world. | |

Posted: 11/4/2004 3:30:58 PM | | My dear little spoiled bush*tes we seem to have a difference of opinion here and that's cool but everyone has their opinion and as free americans we are allowed to voice our opinions, in that respect I won't be silenced. I'm sure america will be fine after another 4 years of that jackass we will survive, there may be a few smaller countries in this world destroyed by the mere question of possiblity they possess weapons of mass destruction and of course all their resourses taken by us, yes we will survive. A few thousand of our young people will be dead maybe even a few of the bigger mouthed bush*tes I doubt that though as mommy and daddy will protect them from the possiblity of getting drafted we have to protect the spoiled little babies they are our future leaders,... Yes I am a bleeding heart liberal and I'm proud of it and I love my country and I'm going to stay and if you don't like it be my guest try and move me out of my country you won't win, even that attempt on your part will prove that under the current adminstration this is no longer a free america. | |

| it means hell, that's what it means.
Posted: 11/4/2004 4:38:35 PM | i work at a catholic hospital, where a few sisters still work. ya know, sisters - as in nuns - the ones who are all supposed to be right-winged republicans.
anyway, this one sister who works nearby supported kerry, & she now says she feels we're under an "evil empire" in this country. i agree with her entirely.
i see way too many religious nuts (yes, i do whole-heartedly mean NUTS) all over - too many d*mn rednecks all over - too many rich "i want the biggest pile at any cost" ***holes all over.
and there's nothing but a bunch of republicans everywhere - whatever happened to checks & balances? *shakes head*
what a truly sad state of affairs. | |

I could make snide remarks about you being a communist, if I wanted to, but I won't.
And the Supreme court disagrees with you about that, and they happen to have the say so. | |

Posted: 11/4/2004 6:02:26 PM | Loukus, Why do you prsonally think the U.S invaded Iraq?
I'm not being fecicious, just wondering what you're opinion was?
Btw, even though I think Bush is pretty much an illiterate corrupt jack-hole, I do think that at least he has strong leadership qualities in my opinion, and only he can bring America out of it's dark hour right now..Self inflicted or not. | |

Posted: 11/4/2004 6:39:37 PM | I think I speak for all of us when I say "I expect sunshine and lollypops, rainbows, and everything’s going to be A OK!" 
I also think I speak for all of us when I say "giggleparts, should get a tithe from now on from all Americans, 2 percent of their before taxes income(gross), because I'm the sh*t and that's just the way it is."
I also think I speak for all of us when I say "giggleparts, should be the ruler of the known universe, because I am in fact qualified for the job and I have a solid understanding of movie quotes and sci-fi moral and ethical issues."
I also think I speak for all of use when I say “By law all men should get a minimum of 24 sex coupons a year, for whenever they want to use them, they can be redeemed anywhere… sex coupons, it’s everywhere you want to be."
Thank you... and God Bless America.... and God Bless Blow-Jobs for all!
*Satire not included. 
I'm giggleparts, and I approved this message. | |

Posted: 11/4/2004 7:17:45 PM | 2 percent of before tax income? Hell I'd settle for .0002% and still be one rich son of a b*tch! I suppose that's the best part about our country: we make so much money that we can afford to act like the dumba$$es we are?
To me, another 4 years of Bush just shows how sh!tty our electoral system is. We need better (heck, I would just settle for *more*) choices than Bush and Kerry. | |
