slow economy - wrong, economy is growing
more deficit from war - hey, protecting the country isn't cheap
zero or negative job growth - wrong, jobs are increasing
more dying from war - it's called war for a reason

gay people not being able to marry - they shouldn't be able to, marriage is between a man and a woman
anti abortion more on the rise - yes, the murder of innocent babies should stop
shitty healthcare - my healthcare is fine. I don't want to pay more taxes to provide it for anyone else
expensive drugs - someone has to pay for research and development
no other countries joining us in terror stance so we can incure more of the cost - plenty of countries have joined us. the ones that were in Saddam's pocket didn't. Who needs them?

middle class still being ignored - I got a tax cut, and I'm middle class. Go figure.
good job bush voters- Yes, good job![/quote]
Actually, independent statistics show that the economy is weakening, in spite of promises from the liars in the white house. Further, the real issue is whether people are being fed and have medical treatment, and they never will under Bush.
Agreed, protecting the country isn't cheap. In fact, we would do well to take some of the billions of dollars being used to invade Iraq, and use it for real defense. There is no reason that invading Iraq makes us more secure, but several reasons why it makes us weaker.
You're wrong, jobs are not increasing. "Unemployment" is going down, but this is misleading, because the unemployment statistic does not include people who have used up their Unemployment benefits. The true number of people out of work is going up.
Yes, it's called war for a reason.. The war is unnecessary and is simply a means for Bush and his energy buddies to gain control of oil reserves in Iraq. There is no reason poor American kids should have to go overseas to make Bush and his friends richer. This is to say nothing of over 10,000 reported civilian casualties and hundreds of confirmed human rights violations in Iraq.
You say we are advancing in stem cell research, but I think you're missing the point, which is that Bush would like to bring stem cell research to a halt.
I agree with you about abortion, but I hardly think that it is the biggest issue on the table, unless you've been brainwashed by the lies coming out of the White House.
You selfish son of a bitch, just because you can afford decent healthcare, you don't think there's a problem. Thousands die every day in this country because they can't get the healthcare they need. Healthcare costs in this country are several times greater than the world average, for the exact same treatments, because the healthcare industry is controlled by the HMOs. The only people who would be taxed for national health care are the rich, who already pay fewer taxes than everyone else. If you're rich enough to fall into that bracket, then you really shouldn't be complaining, you ignorant f*ck.
You say the drugs are expensive because of R&D costs, but the same drugs cost far less in ANY other country in the world. We have a system in this country that discourages competition, keeping prices high. We allow one or two companies to have a monopoly on a given drug, and we pay through the nose for it. We recently had a flu vaccine shortage because the one supplier we had wasn't able to come through.
No, not a lot of countries supported us in the war. A handful of weaker countries sent a couple dozen soldiers each so that the Bush administration could make their list longer. The single exception is Great Britain. The countries that refused to join us were not in Saddam's pocket. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I don't believe Saddam had strong relationships with any non-Arabic nations, and there were a whole ton of them who opposed our invasion of Iraq.
Taxes don't favor the poor. If you think that, you don't know shit. Rich people get huge tax breaks. In addition, when it's time to raise money, instead of taxing rich and poor equally, they tax goods like cigarettes and candy, which hurts poor people far more than rich people, since it represents a larger portion of their income.
then bush will tag in dick and its a Tag team battle royal
it, let it go. Life will go on
