What would a third Bush term look like? Endless war in Iraq, continued torture and spying, more ultra-conservative judges, more and more people without health care, and so on...it'd be awful.
But that's impossible, right? Well, maybe not: Every Republican candidate for president is trying to distinguish himself from Bush, but the major candidates would carry forward Bush's core agenda:
- President Giuliani would support a second escalation of the war in Iraq.
- President Romney would double the size of the Guantanamo Bay prison.
- President McCain would bomb, bomb, bomb Iran.
- President Fred Thompson would have offered Scooter Libby a full pardon.
We can make sure the Bush era ends in 2008. But it means starting now, not next year, building strength in key neighborhoods, creating cutting-edge tools for volunteers, and designing the most sophisticated voter turnout effort progressives have ever run.
Make sure you vote this upcoming presidential election!!!! Even though I'm peacing out of this country eventually, this is ridiculous.
Last night in class I had a one on one with the marine guy again. We were discussing people who were less fortunate. He said he did not feel for anyone that was poor because he came for a poor family and they all worked hard to be where they are at. All it takes is hard work. Ummmmmmmm? If that ain't Republican brainwash I don't know what it. Ha!
