Okay, so I'm sitting here watching "Lou Dobbs Tonight" with my buddies...and I can't help but think, "what is going on in this country????" I mean how can we cut funding to some of the biggest issues in the USA??? So Bush has cut funding to education, anti-drug programming, and any number of other social programs. But, I have to be fair, our Democratic Congress, with their mandate from the people, have NOT done all that they can to stop this lunatic.
I still try so hard to understand why people elected Bush again...you know, I can understand the first time. But TWICE????? Come on people! I sincerely believe that President Bush is doing his best to ruin the US before he leaves office. I can't believe that he really thinks that his choices are for the best, if he really does...all I can say is DAMN!!! He must really be stupid! This does not bode well for the US. We must be completely stupid, or maybe we're just too nice...you know wanting to give him another chance. Whatever the reason...get over it!! We have to do what is best for our country. Whether you are conservative or liberal, we have got to realize that the way things are is not going to cut it!
Why is it that the template of democracy is the democracy with the lowest voter turn out?? I mean people, get over your apathy...why be apathetic when you can be proactive?? If you don't like the way things are change them...and don't give me that my vote doesn't count crap. If your vote doesn't count, run for office...because I can guarantee there are others that agree with you! And look on the bright side, even if you don't win, at least you'll have brought your issue to the forefront...the establishment candidates may adopt your ideas...and when they fail to honor those commitments you can run and point out their flaws. Or, as Michael Moore says in Downsize This, just forget about the politicians and elect the special interests, I mean they run the country anyway...at least that way...we know what to look for from the get go, I mean why should they get rich off of us...let them suffer the way we do and let them work and be subject to the whims of the special interests, just like us. I mean since the voters don't have whims, they should be subject to someones whims.
Please respond, I love to dialogue!

I think you make great points...people always say that their votes don't change anything and i'll admit i've said it to but we can't complain about the problems we're havin if we don't take at least a little initiative and vote...but as far as running i dunno about that bob lol
Robert this is so like you.... and I love it. I totally agree with you. I know that I am not the best friend to place the vote but I will let you know this through you my eyes have been open to so many political issues, partically the one about funds being cut for education. I mean I'm already broke, you don't give me no money and then you take all my money in taxes. where the hell is it going. probably to all the businesses that make fun of him in the newspapers, magazines, calendars and more to get them to shut up. But whatever. I want my money!
