"Politics is the best show
in America," Will Roger's said. "I love animals and I love politicians
and I like to watch both of 'em play either back home in their native
state or after they have been captured and sent to a zoo or
Washington."*

prying1 sez:
This mid term election might seem to be a bit wilder than previous ones
but in reality all election cycles are quite similar. Both sides taking
pot shots at one another trying to convince the public that they have
the winning combination for happiness and prosperity.
This time there is a bit of difference because our nation is at war.
Not at war with other nations but with an ideology that wants to rule
the world. The proponents of this ideology have so stated. With a
religion as it's foundation terrorists & Islamofacists are working
worldwide to foment unrest throughout the worldwide Muslum communities.
Seeking to blame anything but human nature & the Muslum religion
itself for any misfortune or slights they continually point their
fingers towards the west and shout, "There is your enemy!" Many Muslums
believe them instead of looking in their own hearts and realizing that
they carry their own enemy within their breasts. As do all men who are
son's (and daughters) of Adam.
This election cycle it really comes down to two parties of opposing viewpoints.
The Libertarians have yet to count for much of anything so I won't even include them in this diatribe. So it goes.
~~~~~
The Democrats want to convince America that the entire escalation of
worldwide terrorism is Bush's fault. Included in this tactic is claims
that the image of the United States has tarnished significantly
throughout the world as a result of President Bush. Their rhetoric does
not explain why terrorism started long before Bush took office nor why
so many people around the world are still vying to come to America.
I remember as a child, many moons ago, pictures of graffiti on walls in third world countries stating, "Yankee go home!"
Certainly Bush is not to blame for either allegation. Let's blame the
escalation of worldwide terrorism on the terrorists and those who
listen to and follow their twisted teachings. As regards the image.
Offer those who 'hate' America a free ticket to visit and see how quick
they snap it up. I think most of that is really jealosy not hatred.
Many of the Democrats want to pull out of Iraq either quickly or
slowly. Their solution leaves a weak country wide open to become a
terrorist state. The peoples of that land would be murdered by the
millions just as happened in Vietnam when the U.S. pulled out. This is
not a viable solution and they really have come up with no other plans
except verbage that is really a reworded "Stay the course" as Bush has
repeatedly stated.
They keep promising A PLAN and keep coming up with a list of what the
plan will be about. Should Americans vote for a list? I think not!
~~~~~
The Republican party sees terrorism as a threat that will not go away
with talking pretty and convincing the world we are really nice guys.
All the economic and local issues pale in comparison to the global
threat of terrorism. Indeed, worldwide commerce would suffer (not to
mention tourism - some country's main staple) if the terrorists were
allowed to continue running roughshod over the poorer nations. Know too
they would not stop at the poorer nations. Europe already has it's
problems that are only going to intensify. Savings accounts and
retirement funds would come to naught if the terrorists got halfway to
their stated goals. The war on terrorism is the main thing to consider
this election cycle.
Voting for Democrats will be voting to put the war off for a few years.
Until it comes to our shores. AFTER it has decimated millions in poorer
countries.
Voting Republican will be voting to utilize sources (phone/bank records
etc...) the Democrats do not want us to use in the fight against
terrorism.
