I could be the president of Australia no doubt.
Wait.. You're saying that America has too many things to deal with than to elect a better and more competant president?
either president would suck. They both have to deal with terrorism and attacks on the USA, which is tough.
Bush was dealt a shitty hand of cards, people don't realize that. Let him finish what he started, let him pick up his own trash. People also have this image that Bush wakes up everyday and says, "How can I piss off America more today?" Bush is only trying to do in our best interest, but people think it's soooo easy dealing with terrorists and threats against the nation. You wanna be the fuckin' president of the USA? No, you will never achieve approval, it's impossible during a time like this. How would you deal with threats against the country that kill 10,000 plus people? You have a brilliant idea? The man is trying to keep us safe at home, and believe me, if Kerry takes office and pulls out of iraq and middle east, and a few weeks later we are attacked by those savages. You will see a change of opinion about Bush and what he attempted.
Now don't you lecture me on the iraq deal and the specifics of Bush's wrongs, just remember, how the fuck would you guys deal with the threat of terrorism AND TRY and satisfy all 400 million people of the USA?
Fuck if it were up to me, I'd blow the fuck out of that entire trash middle east.
Ok, I don't know where to start... how about here
-First, you say Bush was dealt a "shitty hand of cards", but do you have any fact to back that up? I don't think Bush was dealt a deficit of over 400 billion dollars, I don't think he was dealt an increase of 5.7 to 7.1 (correct me if 7.1 is wrong) trillion dollars in national debt, I don't think he was dealt 585,000 jobs lost in the economy (and don't say it's because of the war, because, in the past 72 years, I think I'm FAIRLY confident the U.S. has been involved in wars), he definitely could have done something about minimum wage, which I have never heard him say anything about. And yes, you're right, let him finish (well, don't let HIM finish) what HE started, not anyone else, him.
-He's only trying to do what's in OUR best interest...? All the figures show that bushes actions in his past presidency have been based on gaining public support on the most trivial things, I find it unbelievable that moral values is what people said the number one concern is for our president. I support Kerry because he knows even if you are religious and have faith, you have to leave that at the door when making decisions as the leader of a country.
-No, we don't think it's "sooo easy" to deal with terrorists, but I've got to say, you're hundreds of times more likely to die from a medical mistake, car accident or from a medical virus or infection than from a terrorist attack. I know, what I'm about to say may seem somewhat heartless, but, how many Americans have really died in the past four years from a terrorist attack? A few thousand, and from one attack; I don't know where you get 10,000 plus from either, so please, if you're going to go on a rant, keep your facts straight, factcheck.org will help you with that.
-At the enormous expense of America, we've liberated Iraq, one dictatorship. Let's see, only about 50+ countries left to go. So, what's our next arbitrary destination of liberation to help fight the "war on terror" (that is the most ignorant term I've ever heard. A war is a conflict between nations, not an action and a nation. That's like me trying to kill air with a knife [die air, die!])? Let's try and be a little more realistic
-Absolute foolishness, "blow the fuck out of the middle east"; the entire world would declare war on us for such an action. Again please try and think more realistically and not generalize an entire portion of the world as evil.
That's it everybody, if you actually read all of this, I appreciate that. Please don't quote me on this and say how wrong I am without reading all of it. Porter, you're an adult and I'm 14; I expected more from you than that. And no, I didn't spend hours finding out the exact facts; this is knowledge every American should be aware of. Oh and one more thing, there are about 274 million Americans living in America, not over 400 million.
Thanks, Iorek
