Re: VOTE!

PAST WORK EXPERIENCE:

I ran for U.S. Congress and lost. I began my career in the oil business in
Midland, Texas, in 1975. I bought an oil company, but couldn't find any oil
in Texas. The company went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock. I
bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land
using taxpayer money. With the help of my father and our friends in the oil
industry (including Enron CEO Ken Lay), I was elected governor of Texas.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS:

I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies, making
Texas the most polluted state in the Union. During my tenure, Houston
replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden city in America.

I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of billions in
borrowed money.

I set the record for the most executions by any governor in American
history.

With the help of my brother, the governor of Florida, and my father's
appointments to the Supreme Court, I became President after losing by over
500,000 votes.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT:

I am the first President in U.S. history to enter office with a criminal
record.

I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one
billion dollars per week.

I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. Treasury.

I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history.

I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month
period.

I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period.

I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the U.S.
stock market.

In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their jobs and
that trend continues every month.

I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any
administration in U.S. history. My "poorest millionaire," Condoleeza Rice,
has a Chevron oil tanker named after her.

I set the record for most campaign fundraising trips by a U.S. President.

I am the all-time U.S. and world record-holder for receiving the most
corporate campaign donations.

[Super_KC124]

My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best friends,
Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S.
History, Enron.

My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure
my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my election decision.

I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against investigation
or prosecution. More time and money was spent investigating the Monica
Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest
corporate rip-offs in history. I presided over the biggest energy crisis in
U.S. history and refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil
industry was revealed.

I presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history.

I changed the U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded
government contracts.

I appointed more convicted criminals to administration than any President in
U.S. history.

I created the Ministry of Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy in the
history of the United States government.

I've broken more international treaties than any President in U.S. history.

I am the first President in U.S. history to have the United Nations remove
the U.S. from the Human Rights Commission.

I withdrew the U.S. from the World Court of Law.

I refused to allow inspector's access to U.S. "prisoners of war" detainees
and thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention.

I am the first President in history to refuse United Nations election
inspectors (during the 2002 U.S. election).

[Super_KC124]

I set the record for fewest numbers of press conferences of any President
since the advent of television.

I set the all-time record for most days on vacation in any one-year period.
After taking off the entire month of August, I presided over the worst
security failure in U.S. history.

I garnered the most sympathy ever for the U.S. after the World Trade Center
attacks and less than a year later made the U.S. the most hated country in
the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history.

I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously
protest me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the record for
protests against any person in the history of mankind.

I am the first President in U.S. history to order an unprovoked, preemptive
attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against
the will of the Unit ed Nations, the majority of U.S. citizens, and the
world community.

I have cut health care benefits for war veterans and support a cut in duty
benefits for active duty troops and their families in wartime.

In my State of the Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking
Iraq and then blamed the lies on our British friends.

I am the first President in history to have a majority of Europeans (71%)
view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security.

I am supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical Bunker Buster," a WMD.

I have so far failed to fulfill my pledge to bring Osama Bin Laden to
justice.

[Super Dave]

Vote

Yes, but only if you actually understand the value of what you're doing.  Voting because you should or you like or dislike someone...

Stupid.

And with that....

The major pharmaceutical companies in the US provided almost 90% of the
nations flu vaccine at one time. They did this despite a very low profit
margin for the product. Basically, they were doing us a favor. In the
late
80's a man from North Carolina who had received the vaccine got the flu.

 
The   strain he caught was one of the strains in that years vaccine made
by a US   company. What did he do? He sued and he won. He was awarded
almost $5 million! After that case was appealed and lost, most US
pharmaceutical companies stopped making the vaccine.
 
The liability out weighed the profit   margin. Since UK and Canadian
laws prohibit such frivolous law suits UK and Canadian companies began
selling the vaccine in the US.
 
By the way...the lawyer that represented the man in the flu shot law
suit was a young ambulance chaser by the name of John Edwards.



Tell me how government involvement makes things less expensive.

We should have federal government run health care?

Someone explain it to me in very plain English, and then I'll understand.


As for war....

The UN approved these matters as a proper course of action.  

When the time came to act, some of those with an economic vested interest decided to balk on any action.

You can be part of a solution or you can claim to be part of a solution.

In 1776 France helped a small group of colonies.

It took that group until 1787 to develop something called the Constitution.

Success in anything is not measured in minutes but over years of work and fortitude.

To call any work that soldiers...American, British, Polish, or Iraqi...do in the theater of the Tigris and Euphrates to be anything but honorable and noble and additionally worth the cost...

If that takes a drunk, criminal to figure that out...

Well, then all the holier-than-thou's that inhabit the world should step back and recognize what it's like to live under tyranny...

I think the Pole's might be the only one's that really understand the value.

When soldiers of a place of freedom and prosperty fight for others...they have the most to loose don't they...

And they give to that others might have the most to gain...because they have nothing...lives so bleak that there is no way out other than death.

[VPFL]

Politics or better- the issues involved when voting for someone to run this GREAT country of ours is something I am very passionate about. Sorry to say as a teenage and young adult, I sort of floated thru the issues. Age does tend to change the way you look at things. Military Superiority, a SMALLER government, and NO MORE entitlement programs pretty much top my list...everybody's is different.

I ask you- how is SOCIALIZED MEDICINE going to benefit this country. Do you really think a doctor worth his salt is going to 'give' you his time when he has spend 100's of 1000's of dollars-not to mention his time- putting himself thru school?  ::)

So many uninformed Kerry promoters...no idea what they are promoting. Cant explain any policy or talk intellegently about issues they are voting for...this is what will take this country to H*LL in a hand basket.

I cant imagine any one of you spending hard earned money on some scheme because someone told you it was the way to go...yet so many people vote in issues/candidates with out doing your own research. Your POWER to VOTE is priceless- just visit a country or talk to people that have lived under communist rule. When you VOTE- VOTE responsibly! Know what/who you are voting in and the weight your vote holds.
 
A democrats hand in my pocket is NOT my idea of the AMERICAN DREAM.

[smoke]

KC--  That was funny. I sent it around the office and we all ( dem  and rep) cracked up.


SD---  I have a question for ya.  JK was a laywer and won his case. He did his job; but how is that situation any diff from all the people that sued MickyDs becasue their kids got fat. The parents should have controled their kids eating habits Passing the buck then and now nothings changed

As far as the WAR-- I did my time... My only issue is that they were not trained for this type of war and don't have the equipmet  they need.

VPL-   I hope one day you have a chance to work for or in the government.  

We all have our issues that concern us more than others, we all have our own beliefs and value system. We all have a dif view point based on what we have seen, done, or whatever.

There are issues that effect us all but the fact is the issues that face me and my family are never on the top of anyones list.

[Super_KC124]

SD, I take voting very seriously. George Bush was my comander in chief. I didn't like the direction he was going while I was in and I don't agree with it now.   After 911, most of the world was on our side. Now it is worse than before.  1000's of young soldiers are dying in a war that was unecessary. My job in the military was to keep Saddam from harming people. I think we were doing a damn good job. Al Quida bombed the world trade centers. There were no WMDs. Will either canidate do a good job of protecting our country? I think so. I'm just not happy with the direction Bush has taken us.  ;)
