1000 Reasons not to vote for GW
Howard_Casto:
I don't wanna get off on a rant here, but it never ceases to amaze me how people even attempt to compare George W Bush and Mr. Kerry. Now don't get me wrong folks, gw makes a great leader if your idea of leadership is blow up anything that pissed off your daddy or if you find responses such as "umm" "uh" and "wha?" valid counterpoints to issues about the enconomy. The rest of us, however might prefer a leader that doesn't embarrass the entire nation by how down right stupid he is.
Let's forget about issues, because weather you all like to admit it or not nobody knows the issues, the candidates views on the issues, the plans they have to solve said isseus, or even if those issues don't exist and they were simply made up to give the opponent something to talk about. Let's face it kiddies, to 95% of the voting population, doesn't know any of this stuff. The presidential election is nothing more than a popularity contest. This can be solidified by the idiotic people interviewed on your local news who give use great reasons for backing candidates like "I like Bush because he's for coal!" Excuse me? "For Coal?" What kind of vague statment is that? How could you not be "for coal" in one way or another, afterall, it powers 75% of americas electrical plants. If a candidate buys your vote with such a vaguely laid out statment like that then I have a cow and some magic beans you might be interested in.
Ok getting back to the point. We have pretty much shown that issues mean NOTHING in an election. The quesiton arises then, what should be look at? Well again, those fiesty candidates have already shown us what to look at, via their crap slinging juvenille cry fests we refer to as political ads. No i'm not talking about issues, I'm talking about their past. And not the past they look at either. Quite frankly, I don't care if John Kerry was picking his nose 70% of the time during a vote for prop #567 or if bush once was arrested for shoplifting a pink bunnie lunch box in second grade. I care about their real past, namely how many times did they screw up on the job before now.
G. W. has to be the worst example of the people will vote for anybody who's famous, or is realted to somebody famous. He spent pretty much his entire adult life a drunk, and by some miracle we was elected governor of texas. Of course it's mere conicidence that he was elected after his daddy was elected president. Yes, kids, the sad fact is, bush probably got electd because those poor texans were confused and thought they were voting for former president george bush. But let's get over that and look at how bad we screwed up texas instead. :D
Texas has never been known for it's good environment policies, but after bush got done the state was "more polluted" than it had been in 20 years. I won't bore you with facts as you don't care about them, but lets just say go down to texas some time and see how smoggy, treeless and all around nasty it is now. Didn't used to be that way before ol'e G.W. came to town, so we'll blame him. And I won't even go into the economy. He screwed up texas so bad that some of the poor white trash living there had to be downgraded to "poo' white trash" as they couldn't afford the extra letter.
The point being, he screwd up texas so bad I knew about it before he even though of running for president. I don't follow politics, do you know how bad a politician has to screw up before I notice it? It's like "politician eats babies" level before it even reaches my politically deaf ears.
Trust me, it's bad. I know you won't look it up, as you don't really care, but we've covered that, so I'll move on.
Prsident G.W. what a wonderful job he's done. We'll if you consider screwing up the first balanced budget in... well, ever during his first year wonderful. Yes, that dirty rotten dog Bubba Clinton did something unspeakable during his terms, something that a politician hasn't done since the 1700's.. he did his job. The economy was in a mess before he popped in and had no sign of turning around. Using his patented 8 year "magicial nobody knows how it worked, but it sure did" plan he left G.W. the keys with the old gal in better shape than she had been in the country's history. It would have taken a complete idiot to screw it up. Oh hello Mr. President. ;D
And don't give me the 9/11 stuff. He screwed it up way before 9/11. As a matter of fact, the media was nailing him for it before 9/11 and out of "respect" they magically stopped for the remainder of his term. 9/11 was the best thing that could have happened to him. Now whenever he screws up he has a great big distraction and a point of blame that everyone will beleive. He is the large scale equivelent of a bad businessman who was mugged 4 years ago and uses that mugging as a point of blame for why his business went under.
Kerry? Well I don't know much about Kerry. And that is the point. No news is good news. Afterall, if he screwd up really bad, we would hear about it. Media whores love political scandal and if he screwed up big we'd know about it. Plus, bush makes us look bad. He's a really bad speaker and on top of that a really bad lier. I mean how is he supposed to run the naiton if he can't sling b.s. to the American people and other countries. And fi you don't think that's a necessary skill then I refer you to bubba once again. Best liar in the history of the nation, and yet he did the best for our nation. But you don't wanna hear issues, so we'll just leave it at that.
So vote for Kerry, at least he hasn't screwed up yet. :D
Well anyway, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. I dunno.
hulkster:
yeah, you're wrong. now dont you feel dumb after writing all that out? you could have just asked me, and i would have told you before hand that you were wrong. warn me next time, and ill make sure and tell ya. ;D
Goz:

Santoro:
My eyes are glazing over - these threads are all the same lately and yet I keep looking.
I must be a closet masochist or something. :)

O.k. I first of all I am a texas resident have been for about 8 years. Bush may have gotten elected the first time because of who daddy was but he did get re-elected. So any effect from his dad had worn off by then.

Please, show me the facts. ???
Ohh no what happened to the trees they are all gone. Ohh wait I live in a state that is mostly comprised of flat desert like land. Good thing I live in East Texas with nice hills and pleanty of trees to go around. It helps that the weather permits this thing called rain to accour in my region that allows for growth for plants like trees. As for the poor getting poorer, the only companies where i am from that lay off people is trane and Carrier. Every one that works for them that doesn't have some sort of back up plan for when they get laid off thats their mistake.

I could have sworn the economy was going down hill as he left office.
Oh and a quick note about health care in Texas any person can walk into the emergency room a recieve care regardless if they have health insurance and outstanding hospital bills. This is good and bad.
Good:
Everyone recieves some form of health care.
Bad:
That everyone includes people that dont have family practishiners(SP?). ie they go to the E.R. with a cold to recieve care because they can't afford to go to a clinic and may stiff the hospital making them eventually charge more, so that over some time my insuarance rates will go up as they have for the past 3 years .
But IMO(rant, as if any posts on these 2 pages havent been) the good outways the bad and there are to many doctors in texas. Because I know I sure as hell would not vote to let mal practice law suits cap out at $250,000. And our current state legislatures are all crap.(end rant)
But if anyone would like to learn more about lovely Smith County please pick up Smith County Justice by David Ellsworth(if you find it tell me i have not read it, it is about our corrupt sheriffs department.)
