15 billion of American taxpayer money for Africa for a disease that usually can be prevented. Support for a campaign finance bill that was signed because the Supreme court would oveturn it but then didn't. Supporting a government paid (that's us) for perscription drug plan for people that didn't really care about it. Nor mostly need the socialist plan. More money to the NEA? Blech! And spending money like it's water? Without any explanation of WHY "W" thinks it's OK to sling borrowed cash around like it grows on trees. Yea, I understand the "war" stuff but I expect him to keep his eye on the general ledger. That's one reason I voted for him.
Allowing Mexicans to invade this county. To daily pour across the border and leach off the taxpayers. Plus change our language and culture with an invasion that did not require firing a shot. And it gets worse every day. I like to listen to the radio at night. In Houston, other than a couple of stations they are all Spanish language. The public airways?
George W. Bush, who I have always considered a great poker player and Karl Rove better damn well get their heads on right when it comes to conservatives. Because when you have people like me getting to the point where I have lost my passion for George W. Bush he has a problem. And he and Rove better start paying attention to people like me. If they don't then I'll pay the same amount of attention to them.
This has been difficult for me to write.
I hate it, but I can't support appeals to sit out elections in protest, or waste my vote on 3rd parties/independent candidates. IMHO, not only is that a complete waste of time, but is also counter-productive. That strategy puts Dems in office, (Presidential elections of 1992/1994, Washington State US Senate election 2000). Let's remove ourselves from childish emotions and examine the facts. 1) We will either live under a Dem gov't or GOP one. With that in mind, you might as well invest in the Republicans, and other than $$$ contributions, the only way to do that for the ordinary person is to vote in the primaries. 2) Independent candidates are not electable most times, (Perot), and when they are, (Ventura), they are nut cases, who can't accomplish much in ofc, if anything. 3) Don't vote LP. They are not conservatives, and if you investigate them thoroughly, and are of the Christian faith, you will find out they are the only party to vote for that is worse than the Dems.
If you are one of those who are so heavenly minded that you are no earthly good, then vote for the Constitution Party. Just as wasteful, just as counter-productive as anything you can do, but at least it can be argued that this as an authentic "conscience vote." There's no way in hell, heaven, or anywhere in between that can be said about sitting out the election, or worse, voting for the anti-Christian LP. And trust me fellow believers, any party that says gay marriages are ok, that legalizing drugs is ok, is NOT the party who want to vote for. The LP and its cult-followers are supreme propagandists, but the truth ain't in 'em, and there is no way to overstate that fact.....
