Websites of a far left, progressive, compassionate Democrat

Getting informed before Nov. 2nd

Published on September 25, 2004 By dabe In Democrat

For the life of me, I cannot understand how anyone can support Dubya. I don't mean to start a nasty debate, but I'm just baffled over this. I just truly believe in my heart that if people stopped what they're doing, listened to both sides of the issues with equal interest and concern, they'd see what's at stake here. They'd understand why Bush is leading this country to utter disaster. I really, really do believe this. I just feel the need to express my particular viewpoint, in what is a predominantly conservative blog site, with such an important election coming up.

Truly, the only reason I have become affiliated with this site is my interest in skinning. So, I do hope that the website links I post here will provide some information regarding the social and political issues at stake in this election. I encourage anyone who stops by my blog to visit these sites. I feel so strongly that the serious mess this courntry is in right now, ranging from this administration's complete disregard for the environment over their corporate cronies to health care to the invasion of Iraq can be turned around if Bush and his boss, Cheney, are defeated. Enjoy, and feel free to post a response, if you feel so inclined.

Or not. My point is that by this same "ends justifies the means" logic I could see the Bush administration justifying the preemptive use of tactical nuclear weapons in N. Korea and then claiming that the world was better off because N. Korea wouldn't have nuclear weapons anymore. But I take from your dismissal of the appropriateness of this analogy that you do, in fact, think such a preemptive use of nuclear weapons in N. Korea would be reasonable and justified. And that really scares me! The world response to the US preemptive use of nuclear weapons would be exponentially worse than the response to our current preemptive use of our military in Iraq.

That's what you get for thinking! I have *never* advocated the use of nukes, preemptive or otherwise! Now if they back us into a corner that *might* be something different!

I never said that the debates shouldn't happen; that they are not important. They are very important, critically important, given that this country is so split, and there is such a narrow margin that will make up their minds based on the debates. What I did say is that the debates won't change MY mind. I am completely, thoroughly convinced that we need a regime change.. Period.

As for Halliberton........ this administration is packed with friends and cronies. Halliburton is one of them. Cheney was there CEO, fer cryin' out loud. How else would they get a no-bid contract. Hallburton is a war profiteer, which is proven by the fact that they have overcharged for every single bit of services they "privided" to our troops,, and for which they even can't account for billions of dollars that we, the taxpayers, paid them. As for the other oil companies... their all prime examples of corporate greed.

I agree.

The first time we will use nukes against one country will be the last time anybody does, because it will probably set off the Nuclear Holocaust chain reaction, it is a very dangerous situation, better to use tactical bombs than risk global annihilation, not to mention the mess that a nuke leaves behind (fallout).

Quit pussyfooting around the question and answer it, what does Haliburton do? If you are having trouble with the question, please look at Haliburton's official site.

Yes the Bush policies are killing America. Only the top 3-5% of wage earners benefit from Bush and his policies. Read, "Four More For George W?" if you want the real facts. This book is receiving some great reader comments. see Amazon.com.
