Our Country Has Spoken, well the Midwest and the South has.....
Sigh,
I cant even explain how disappointed I am with this country. George Bush was actually elected president again, carrying most of the simpleton vote of the midwest and the south. Lets see what Bush has done in the past four years
1. Reversed a budget surplus, to a trillion dollar deficit
2. Instead of making cuts in the huge defense budget, he takes it out of necessary programs such as EDUCATION!
3. Started a pre-emptive war with Iraq, still hasnt found the WMD's he claims Iraq has, and continues to lie to the public about anything and everything involved with this war.
4. Instead of fixing the budget, he still promotes his tax cut which does NOTHING for the middle class, and only benefits the rich and wealthy
5. Health Care costs are now astronomical, with most americans unable to afford to go to the doctor anymore.
6. Had the briefings and knowledge about 9/11 a month before the attacks, and did nothing about them, ignoring FBI intelligence that said Al Quada would attack American soil by hijacking commercials planes.
7. No Child Left Behind is leaving schools is an unprecedented situation, they have to reach higher expectations without any money to improve the cirriculum and teacher education. Instead of letting children learn social skills and other life lessons, all schools can teach now is writing and math.
8. We have lost respect of every other country in the world, other than the UK. If I hear that France is because they dont agree with us, im going to puke. DISSENSION IS THE KEY TO DEMOCRACY. Also we have laughed at the UN, great giving a middle finger to the rest of the world, seems like a great idea. We had the support of the world after 9/11, a chance for the world to unite against terrorism, and he totally blew it.
I can understand that some people dont like John Kerry, he wasnt the best option to run, but I was impressed that he got that far, and made the election so close. What bothers me is that so many people voted that had no idea about the true issues. They voted based on "moral" issues (this is based on many newscast polls about what the biggest issues were in the election). Simply because Kerry thought that gay's should be allowed to have civil union (he was against marriage that would have been politcal suicide) he lost. Bush on the other hand has lied, done drugs during his past, hates all arabs and clumps them all togther as terrorists, avoided military duty, is considered a better "moral" person. So wait I get it, because Bush is going to make his views by the Bible, he SHOULD be considered more moral. But wait a second, this is a secular nation, based on the seperation of Church and State, but why is the conservative Christian groups showing up in groves to vote Bush? Thats right, they hate GAYS and believe his fear mongering so thoroughly, they decided to vote for him. Another question, if terror was such a big deal, than why did the states of NY and NJ overwhelmingly vote Kerry? Do they feel that he could be a better protector, and they should know though, because they are the states hit hardest by 9/11. Though Im sure Osama Bin Laden is planning a huge terrorist attack against Tennessee or Arkansas. Im not going to even get into what I think could happen in the next four years, I just hope he does something so unbelievably stupid that he gets impeached. This is such a sad day for America, Im ashamed of this country.....
