You also ignore that the 19 hijackers enter the country under Clinton's watch. While intelligence knew they were up to something, no one knew WHERE or WHEN. And because they carried out the attack on Bush's watch, it was GW's fault? Even Billary has refused to make that claim. Just what do you suggest that GWB should have done? Just what options did GWB and the FBI have that would not have satisfied your concerns about justice and our liberties.
I am a Democrat, but I get really angry when people blame Bush unfairly. They just want a scapegoat. As long as we are looking for scapegoats, we are not going to find solutions. Too many Americans refuse to take responsibility for their own problems.
We created our own problems with our:
- addiction to oil (we each use 5X the world's average)
- overabundance and misuse of SUVs (some people can justify owning a SUV)
- our greedy consumption of cheap imports (that is why 4M+ jobs have gone overseas)
- gluttonous and shameful waste of health care resources
- failure to exercise simple self-discipline (we eat and drink way too much)
- lack of WISE environmental responsibility (another reason for jobs moving overseas)
- insistence on easy credit and big houses
- failure to instill a solid work ethic in our children
and the list goes on.
That is why this is one MORE Democrat who is voting for McCain.
I do not want the POTUS, McCain or Obama, to make personal decisions for me and my family. I do not want the "guv'mint" taking care of me. That is NOT how America became the great nation it is! Yes- we have our problems, but, no other country is without their problems. I think in spite of our problems, we are the best country in the world and I am tired of liberal @$$holes trying to convince everyone that we suck!-

I'm with you here. But you lost me when you said you're voting for McCain who stands for all that gluttony and the things you say have created the US's problems.
Last time I checked it was McCain who had 8 houses and 11 cars. -

Well Reid, you are so poorly informed that it is easy to fleece you. Apparently you bought into the "trickle-up" scam lock, stock and barrel. You have very little independence to choose anything in your life when the system is rigged so that you live in permanent debt in a "company town". Take off your blinders and begin to show some real backbone.

America's Own Kleptocracy »
Nobody expected industrial capitalism to end up like this. A kleptocratic class has taken over the economy to replace industrial capitalism.
America has entered into a new war – a War to Save Computerized Derivative Traders. Like the Iraq war, it is based largely on fictions and entered into under seeming emergency conditions – to which the solution has little relation to the underlying cause of the problems. On financial security grounds the government is to make good on the collateralized debt obligations packaged (CDOs) that Warren Buffett has called “weapons of mass financial destruction.”
Hardly by surprise, this giveaway of public money is being handled by the same group that warned the country so piously about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Pres. Bush and Treasury Secretary Paulson have piously announced that this is no time for partisan disagreements over this shift of public policy to favor creditors rather than debtors. There is no time to make the biggest bailout in election history an election issue. Not an appropriate time to debate whether it is a good thing to re-inflate housing prices to a level that will continue to oblige new home buyers to go so deeply into debt that they must pay some 40 percent of their take-home pay on housing....

Remember:
"Ms Rice" what was the title of the CIA report that you and Ashcroft chose to disregard?"
"OH YOU MEAN, MUSLIMS PLANNING TO ATTACK AMERICAN CITIES WITH HIJACKED AIRCRAFT?"
"What did Ashcroft do?"
"OH, HE WAS VERY BUSY COVERING THE STATUES AT THE DOJ....VERY NAUGHTY...HIGHEST PRIORITY".
