Let me try and put it simpler… in the last four years we have seen the most concentrated attempt to dismantle our democracy by an administration that we’ve ever seen. A short list: making torture American policy, illegally tapping phones and opening mail, suspending Habeas, creating hideous kangaroo courts for those the government names ‘terrorists’, lying to the congress and the public to justify going to war, politicizing the Justice departmnent, wrong headed and disastrous economic policies, and on and on and on…
And you want more of the same? And Palin as a bonus??
Who is it that doesn’t have a brain?
Your first mistake is thinking I'm happy with George Bush.
Your second mistake is reading too many liberal blogs. Dismantle Democracy? A little overdramatic don't you think. I thought you had some common sense when I read some of your earlier posts but these last two posts make you seem really out there.
Just for kicks I'll go down your list:
1) "Making torture American policy"-I agree with you and so does John McCain. However, to be honest I enjoyed to hear that KSM was tortured.
2)"Illegally tapping phones and opening mail"- Didn't Barack vote for it? Whether you want to admit it or not we are in a war with terrorists. Or maybe you think 9/11 was an inside job? Anyway if the NSA listening in on a few of my phone calls during a time of war helps stop terrorist attacks then so be it.
3)"Suspending Habeas, creating hideous kangaroo courts for those the government names ‘terrorists’"-Just how many people have been affected by this? You act like there's Japanese internment camps reopening.
4)"Lying to the congress and the public to justify going to war" - I agree with you sort of. But there were more reasons for going to war than just WMD. Not enough time to go into them here.
5)"politicizing the Justice departmnent"-Yeah thats never been done before
6)"wrong headed and disastrous economic policies" - Just what are those? There are many reasons for our current economic situation. The biggest is Fannie and Freddie guaranteeing loans. Banks didn't care who they were giving loans to because they were just selling them off. That's all George Bush and the Republican's fault? Everyone...the American public and Democrats and Republicans turned a blind eye to the credit markets because it helped fuel our economic boom. Now its blowing up in our face but lets lay all the blame on Bush if it makes you feel better.
7) "More of the same?" Keep singing that campaign slogan but McCain is not George Bush. Not even close.
8 ) "Palin as a bonus?" She was a bad pick. The McCain campaign didn't let her get out and be herself so the media painted her as a wacko(for all I know she could be one). She blew some interviews and I don't see how she recovers. Palin most likely costs McCain the election.
Other than the fact that he is not a republican why are you voting for Obama? Because everybody I talk to that says they are voting for Obama say it is because of Bush but none of them seem to agree with his policies.
