Election
November 3rd 2004
This election seems closer than last year, maybe because more is at stake. Last election it was just a disappointment that the republican won, a man we knew would have policies toward the environment, business, and fiscal policy that we disagree with (I am of course using the term “we” loosely). This year, we know this man who should not have been president in the first place caused a war, destruction of the environment, the largest defecit in recent history, and lowered our international respect to nil. He is manipulative, dishonest, unintelligent, and what bugs me the most is that he can’t talk worth beans. Frankly, a man who can’t master the English language (or any language for that matter) isn’t fit to be a president.
Keep that, my opinion, in mind when I say I am scared about the outcome of this election. My parents are already talking about moving to France (Canada’s not far enough I guess) and about opening accounts and setting up residence there in case I need to leave for a draft. Don’t get me wrong, I love my country, and I would gladly serve in any truly justified war, but not for our current president, not for his war. But moving to France, wow… yes, they were half joking. But half serious, too.
Well, I just thought our country was smarter than this. I lost a little faith in it tonight, even if Kerry does win. It shouldn’t even have been close.

Maby now the liberal elite will realize that main stream Americans support George Bush and his policies to better our great country and that THEY are the ones that are far to the left.
Also, what would you consider a “just war?” Liberating millions of people from an evil dictator, not to mention protecting our national security sounds prety just to me.
Did I mention the thousands of murders taking place every single day at abortion clinics? Compare this to the deaths of our soldiers in Iraq. At least they are fighting for life, liberty, freedom, and the right to vote, something millions of babies every year will never have.
A just war? How about truly helping the millions of people who starve to death each year with no help from us. How about helping to end the crisic in the Sudan. How about doing something the massive concentration of wealth occuring in our country that will certainly bring ever increasing domestic unrest and ever increasing crime. Not to mention doing something, anything, to make even one tiny step toward a more sustainable environment for our children.
Getting Saddam Hussein out of power was perhaps the only good result of this sham war on terrorism. I think the greatest terrorism is the one that’s been inflicted on us - by our own oligarchy. What proof is there of Iraq’s intent to attack us? We’ve not exactly paid much attention to similar announcements from North Korea. Maybe the EU will see this as reason to consolidate more quickly as a means of balancing our inordinate amount of power. I don’t claim to be an expert on this by any measure, but I’m a little bothered by what some of my European friends have been expressing. The shifting of power to the right has meant the curtailing of many basic rights, as well as those that I’d like to see granted (such as gay marriage)
