Why continue to blind yourselves and pretend the facts are just opinion. Why pretend people support our president and the republican party even though the last year elections showed they do not, many polls show they do not, and the hundred thousand people who protested at the white house show they do not. Even Republicans in Washington are turning on Bush, because they are realizing that being aligned with the president, means dealing with a pissed off country who is less likely to elect or reelect them.
You think welfare is what is costing us so much? You hate giving your money to fellow Americans who are in a struggle? Yet you don't mention or seem to care that over 50% of all of your tax money goes to the military and to fight this war? To the pockets and rebuilding of a people who do not live in this country? Not saying we should just pull out and leave Iraq stranded, we made the mess, we should help clean it up, but your logic seems backwards to me. Rather than spend money where it is needed in our own country, in schools, health care, poverty, border protection, jobs, how about we just spend it on some random country we should have never entered, and spend it all on people who are not Americans. Sounds like a plan to me! Here is my hard earned money!
Current Percent of Americans Who Disapprove of Bush: 68%
Current Percent of Americans Who Say Bush is Mishandling the Iraq War: 74%

They didn't ask me about that survey so I know they didn't ask everyone, that means the numbers are off. I'd be willing to bet +-30%. It also depends where you ask as to the outcome. Thats just the media skewing stuff as they always do.
I don't like helping my fellow american that refuses to get a job. Plain and simple. I work as does a lot of other people. Why give someone a free ride. They just built section 8 homes where houses usually sell for $1million+ and are selling them to people "in need" for $600,000. Full furnished houses. I paid for that. These people "in need" are driving escalades(sp?) and benzs. I'll be damned if they need the help. However if they did welfare for a set time and made it more like a loan then I'd support it. Right now its a joke. Thats not an opnion, you really should see some of the people "in need". They are better off than I am and I work 40+hrs a week plus side work just to pay bills.
If you saw the areas I did and the republican support here you'd be thinking just as I am about why the state elected all democrats, by a nice margin at that. There was tons of republican support. Also if 100,000 people is all they could muster up for support in an area with millions of residents then that shows less than 10% support for that way of thinking.
I know we are pissing everyone off. However as history has shown being nice doesn't do well either(think bin laden and sadam). Being a "bully" solves problems. Point and case: Japan. They fucked with us we rendered 2 of their cities useless. Now they are nice. I'd personally be a "bully" that no one messes with vs a nice guy that everyone messes with. Just my $.02.
I also realize theres lots of work to do here. However the democrats solution for debt: raise taxes. Sorry I don't bring home enough as is. I support someone that is out to give me more money than someone that is trying to take it away. Schools are a reflection of the area and the money in that area. My schools were great but then again I grew up in a wealthy area.
When it comes down to it this is all opinion. None of us can see the future, we don't know the reactons of our actions now.
