Since I've been known for my strong political beliefs and the fact there are still blog entries here about the '04 elections, I figured I'd update ya'all on my current political beliefs.
First and foremost I am torn about how I feel about President Bush. On one hand I am glad he's our President today and not that whack job Kerry. It's been a rough 3+ years now and Bush has done plenty that I do not agree with but the London plot, which would have been as big or bigger than 9-11, would have happened if not for the M5 (The british equivilent of the CIA) having the abilities to do their job while here in the U.S, the New York Times and every other liberal outlet and liberal congressmen and senators want to diminish our abilities to track terrorists' efforts to kill us. If this plot were to have been started and worked on here in the US then the terrorists would have succeeded because the liberals are too worried about their civil liberties being taken away. So they would rather have their civil liberties vs allowing agencies to spy and track terrorists activities. Now don't get me wrong... I'm all for civil liberties. But you know what? I prefer to LIVE first, then worry about my civil liberties!
Okay, so that's the positive about Bush. The negative... well as a life-long republican, I am ashamed of my party. I am ashamed of Bush and quite frankly, I am seriously considering changing my party affiliation to independant. I will never vote for a democrat as long as I breathe oxygen but I am just sick of the republicans... and democrats. I am sick of republicans' holier than thou arrogant attitude, right to life, anti-abortion no matter the circumstance and complete failure to stand up and do the right thing about ILLEGAL immigration. I am equally sick of democrats for their pansy ass defeatism-stick your head in the sand and hope problems go away themselves and heaven forbide the US do something about our energy crisis such as drill for more oil along the east coast and gulf of mexico. I'm all for every other kind of energy use that we could use, but right now I'm sick and tired of paying $3 a gallon of gas with the potential for it to be 4 or 5. It's pathetic. The one thing I get to laugh about today is all the whack jobs out there that said, and for that matter still say, that we invaded Iraq for the oil. Really? We invaded Iraq to get their oil? ummm HELLO ... we're paying 200% more for gas today than we did in 2001. Iraq is pumping as much oil today as they did before Bush was elected. Clearly we're not getting any more oil from Iraq today than we did 5 years ago.
Howard Dean btw.. the man belongs in a straight jacket in a room with 4 white walls and a cot. He is by far the biggest idiot to ever get into politics.
If anyone actually knows what the democrats are actually going to do when they get in power, other than censure bush, let me know. A democrat was on a talk show the other day and the host asked what they'd do about terrorism. He replied they'd go after the terrorist whereever they are, unlike Bush. The host said so we'd invade lebonon and go after hezzbolah? and invade Pakistan to get Bin Laden and Invade Iran to get those nuts? The dems reply was to repeat what he said. Why is it that whenever someone asks a democrat for an answer, they spew talking points and bash Bush but never answer the question? Why is that? Oh that's right.. they don't have any answers.
Good for them neither do republicans. Let's all just ramp up the fear factor and talk about change so a different party has control of the government but not actually get anything done.
Where's Ross Perot? Ross... hello... where are you?
Now aren't you glad you asked how I really feel?
