BUSH SUCKS

The Nation has spoken; and Bush really does suck! He is in bed with corporate American, and for that the generally corrupt Republican Party must go -- with Bush soon to follow.

Most of us are tired of his horrible handling of the Iraq war. We need to set a timetable and let Iraq step up or fail. We cannot force people to want democracy. It is something that individuals need to fight for on their own. Personally, our troops should be out of Iraq within 2 years at the latest.

Most of us are also tired of feeling like Bush, the Republicans are in bed with big business. In fact, I think it was this "corruption" that has led to the Republicans' unwillingness to face our border security issues (and our national drug problem -- see prior posts).

If Lincoln was the father of the Republican Party, then Bush might just be the "killer." Bush really really sucks!

P.S. Did I mention that I was tired of Bush "preaching" to me!!! He must be the dumbest President of my lifetime. He is the single most important reason that I am no longer a Republican.

I am now a lonely Independent Party member. Oh no!!! Help me . . .

I believe in the rule of law; and think that those that break our laws should be punished, or at least fined. Do you think that those behind the Enron scandal should be in jail? How about people that break other laws? Should it just be a just don't get caught; or should we focus on the values, democracy that our laws represent? This is a bizarre time in which the lawlessness in its many forms might just be the way to go. Maybe “bizarro” Superman was right all a long. :)

I believe in a tougher border security policy aimed at reducing the drugs now being smuggled across the Mexican border that kill thousands of our citizens each year.

I believe in protecting our youngest citizens (and especially our pre HS kids).

I believe in the value of protecting our individual liberties.

I believe in a woman’s right to choose through the second trimester.

I believe in same-sex marriage. Being gay is not a choice. Could you choose to be gay?

I believe in not mixing our politics with our religions.

I believe in a balanced budget. Those were the days. :)

I believe in eliminating the companies and lobbyists’ hold on our government.

I believe in eliminating the “pork” now in DC, and our politicians’ ability to add such specially earmarked pork in our legislation; and our politicians ability to accept gifts or have other conflicts of interest.

I believe in a reduced and more intelligent international policy; a policy that focuses on the welfare of its citizens first and foremost; and not big business.
