On the Horns of a Dilemma
I am seriously having a hard time trying to find some inducement to vote for either of the two Presidential candidates in November, but for the reasons I will elucidate below, it's getting very difficult.
First off, both of these guys are members of the same elite Masonic Lodge fraternity -- something called "Skull and Bones." Not just Bush, but Kerry also, were both raised to believe that they are the lords and we are the peasants. They're just campaigning under different "name brands". I haven't seen anything in the mainstream media, but a college reporter made the connection. Here's her article:
http://www.dailybruin.ucla.edu/news/articles.asp?ID=27899 While Bush made a strong response after 9/11, he fails to see (or ignores) another opening for terrorists to enter this country. Our borders are like sieves -- especially the Southwestern one. Bush has encouraged this with his coziness toward Vicente Fox (who is just trying to pass along his internal problems to us). By pushing a type of amnesty for illegal aliens (primarily Mexican), he has encouraged them to continue invading California, getting free education and medical care for which low-income legal citizens "don't qualify":
Bush Amnesty Sparks Surge in Border Crossings

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,77833,00.html Here's something interesting -- do illegal aliens vote? They must -- otherwise why would both Bush and Kerry be so concerned about their welfare (at our expense)? Read this:
Candidates Court Illegal Immigrants
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,124995,00.html Last I heard, Texas ranchers were still being prosecuted for shooting these invaders when they broke into their homes to steal. And it's also my understanding that Mexican troops have come across our border in Texas, as well. Why is this allowed? Why is it not on the mainstream news? It's #42 on a list of immigration outrages you can find on Tom Tancredo's (R-Colorado) Web site:
http://www.tancredo.org/issues/issues-immigration-unbelievablelist.htm Bush favors corporate outsourcing, which has caused a number of people to be out of work -- some I know personally. These are intelligent people with decades of experience. So, are they supposed to change careers after the age of 50, when Corporate America says they're "too old"?
U.S. Tech Workers Bear Brunt of Immigration Policy
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,118473,00.html Bush had the colossal nerve to reappoint that jerk Greenspan, who believes that he should keep his social security payments, but we Baby Boomers should have to work longer and harder for lower ones. For those of you who missed it, here's the link to the February 2004 AP story:
http://www.boston.com/business/articles/2004/02/25/greenspan_urges_social_security_cuts/ The way I see it, if I vote Republican, my son could be drafted, in spite of his medical problems, because we are not rich and powerful. My friends and acquaintances who are American citizens will still be out of work. The cost of getting to my own job will increase with the gas prices so that Bush can line his pockets.
If I vote Democrat, my son could still be drafted, because Kerry has also indicated support for reinstating it. My job would be in danger, because I work for a company with connections to the nuclear power industry. Gas prices will rise anyway, so the Sierra Club or Earth First! (a terrorist organization) can line their pockets. The drive to work will be just as expensive for me as it would be under the Republicans.
It strikes me that a Democrat will take your home and turn it into an environmental habitat or give it to some "minority", while a Republican will take your home and give it to a developer who will then make it a parking lot and charge you to park your car there.
Guess what? Your home is just as gone!
So, since both political parties are equally evil, just different, what are we supposed to do?
I want one more box on the ballot: None of the above is acceptable.
Sure wish Jesus would hurry up and get here before November so I don't have to deal with it.
