Re: leaning toward kerry
Originally posted by bobingardner:<br /> <br />Anyway the point of my post was to vent my frustration at the incessent liberal bashing that seems to accompany every discussion. I've been working full time since I was 19. I pay my taxes, donate to charity, help my friends and neighbors, raised two children for whom I regularly receive compliments, serve jury duty, and obey the law, even the ones I don't agree with. So how the heck am I an enemy of the United States?
If this is the whole point of your post, why not just say, "I'm tired of being bashed for being liberal" or something to that end?<br />Not that it's that important, but it just deems to be a waste of time to embellish it, or go so far around the subject,as to not address it. But hey, it's your post.
<br /><br />You've expressed this fact quite well, and I personally catch your drift. You are owed a seperate explaination from every single one of us, who have bashed liberals.<br />So here is mine.<br />I'm a conservative for many persoanal idelogical beliefs, most of which, you claim to share
..<br /><br />But if I were a liberal, I would've changed parties a few weeks after 9/11/01, when the shock died-down, and the finger-pointing began. I got literally sick to my stomach,watching the incessant media blitz by the "Big Three" and Al ju zeeeera on a nightly basis. Even Fox started with the "if it bleeds, it leads" mentallity.<br /><br />Then, instead of uniting under the American flag for the war effort, the liberal branch of our great society started veering further off to the left. Instead of supporting our commander in Chief, a concerted effort was mounted to
blame him for the attacks, and bash our military,as opposed to Islamic Terrorism worldwide!! Being a conservative at this point has little to do with the hatered I feel for the ememy, and all who side with them. Yesterday, Senator Ted Kennedy compared GW Bush to Sadamn Huesane! And that's just the latest in a 3 year string of politically-motivated gifts to my sworn enemy, Islamic terrorism.<br />Vote for who you must. I will vote for who I have to vote for. For me, there is no "leaning" option available... I have no choice. It's the lesser of two evils to me. Bush gave away more of my money than Clinton did, and that's really saying something, because Clinton had a knack for it.<br />Instead of reducing the beurocracy,or limitting government (something us Republicans strongly demand), that clown ADDED two more layers at a very high expense to my wallet.<br />But no choice....This nation is at war. I know Bush will die before conceding.<br />Kerry , on the other hand, can't wait to give our military to the same clan that gave us "Oil-For Food"!!!!<br />He readily admits, he'll repeal the only things that Bush gave the American people <br />----A strong military response to my enemy---<br />----A tiny,watered-down tax cut---<br />
Thanks again,KERRY!!
