Poll: Seriously, who are you voting for???

[Peelz]

I agree with you somewhat. But I feel the market should have, could have been fixed sooner. I saw it coming a year ago. I really feel the same way about the war you just posted. My trouble with it is Bush "staying the course" when he doesn't know the course. I know many soldiers who have changed their tune, because they have no clue what their aim is anymore.

George could have used his veto powers on bills that got us into the mess we are in today a little more. He holds the record for lack of vetos while in office (2nd place Thomas Jefferson), and the most vetos in a time period when the Republicans lost control of the house.
The main issues that stick out like a sore thumb to me is this administration's big spending, support of deregualtion of lending guidelines, spending $10 billion a week on war(that should have never happened in the first place). Not to mention his countless blunders in emergency management, fiscal management (Our country is broke!), social programs, the military (overused, over deployed, and UNDER PAID!!), our trade deficit, and energy.

the bills that put that started the housing problem were before his time.  But i think he should of pushed for mortgage reform when he first got into office when the house and senate were still republican controlled.  And I would be going crazy with the veto's if I could with some of the bills that have been pushed the last few years, total crap.  The lending guidelines were also changed long before his time, don't try to blame him for that one.  The war is a whole other cookie, with the news we get no wonder we think it was a bad idea.  They saw it as a way to go after him and they did.  And once again he gets the blame for the emergency management instead of us complaining about the root problem....the bureaucrats.  And could you imagine what would happen if he tried to cut spending on social problems?  They would have him hanged.

I will not be voting this year. My address on my license is still under my parents address where I'm registered. I won't be driving 2 hours to vote.

still should have done something about it, regardless of who started it.

Solidiers sailors Airman and Marines are also suffering becuase of the rotation cycle.  The US military was not large enough to handle a two front war thanks to Clintons cuts.  And now, trying to recruit during an unpopular war to increase it's size  

I think about these things sometimes like "If I would have stayed in, would someone be able to be home with their family now?", or "would someone still be alive to raise his kids if I would have been there"

Very frustrating to me personally

If they jumped in sooner we would of bitched then that they are taking too much control, damned if you do, damned if you don't.

And we are staying the course, and he knows exactly what it is.  The surge worked and things have been turning around.  You know one way to know Iraq is getting better?  You don't here much about it in the news.

Totally agree, this is one thing I think Bush should of done right away.  But back then the system was making money and he would of gone through hell to get it through, but worth it IMO.

This is very true as well. Not just his fault I just don't remeber him acknowledging it as a possible problem.

Back then it was the problem which we do not speak of.

Good news doesn't sell.  One main rule in media...bad news sells.  That's why they push things so hard.  IMO they are to blame for a lot of issues getting blown out of proportion.

there was about 60,000 Kurds that would disagree 

What happened to the Kurds is tragic. Ethinic cleansing is a horrible thing, and sure we should contribute and do our part to help the weak, but not for free at 100% taxpayer expense.

There are 305,000,000 Americans, and we spend $10 billion a week fighting for people that don't want us on their turf. That $10 billion per week would pay for health care programs, education, and other under funded programs we need.

So how much is life worth?  Until you've look into the eyes of a foriegn child in a combat zone and told them "your not worth my tax money".  thats a hard pill for me to swallow.  Especially since I have been in Combat and have seen the positives of US forces involvment.


We all agree that the war in Iraq is a mess.  However, Our troops are doing a great job and lets not dishonor there sacrifices by telling them their efforts were purposeless.  

I highly doubt that is anyones meaning, just becareful becuase There perspective may not be your own.

Ask a Vietnam Vet if he thinks the war served a purpose. Of the five people I know that are in the sand box now, I don't know of one now that has a positive to say about the current conflict. I will commend Bush Sr. He was smart enough to get the job done and get the f*ck out after Iraq left Kuwait. I think after the first conflict, we were at an all time high. The "100 Hour War" was just that. Swift, decisive, no bullshit. Misssion accomplished.

Clinton cuts? Why did we need a huge military when he was in office, we were not at war.

Recruiting now is at an all time low due to the fact "You're going to the sand box." There's no way I would sign up straight out of high school without going to college first and enlisting as an officer with all of the negatives we hear. These recruits need more assurance the conflict will end. The shouldn't have to be concerned they'll be stuck in a hell hole with no date to pull out.
