The election this year isn't about GOP vs. DNC it isn't about Left vs. Right or Kerry vs. Bush. It's about the Success vs. the Failure of America. Take a good long look at a number of policies we need to
revise in this country.
1. Al-Qaeda still threatens us and Osama Bin Laden is still free.
2. We have a thousand tragedies in a thousand homes due to a questionable war. (questionable at best)
3. We have a budget deficit of $455 billion
4. Americans have 6 million less jobs. Jobs used to provide for our families.
5. To our shame we now have 1.3 million more impoverished American families.
6. And as a result of points 4 and 5 we now have another 5 million Americans without proper health care.
Let's go over each point shall we?
1. Al-Qaeda still threatens us and Osama Bin Laden is still free.
Because in a blind rage to get everyone who may pose a threat, we shifted our focus and lost sight our objectives. We were committed to finding and eliminating the agents and the leadership of Al-Qaeda. Instead, we find ourselves involved in a Vietnam-like quagmire in Iraq. Maybe we should re-evaluate our involvement in Iraq?
2. Tragedy for a thousand families due to (at best) a questionable war.
Listen to this. These are the kind of things that were supposedly going on in Iraq. Our secretary of state showed us maps of facilities being used to build weapons that would spell doom for us had we not done something about them. So we have invaded Iraq in an effort to protect ourselves from these "weapons of mass destruction" but, low and behold we have not found any such weapons. We are now stuck fighting a perpetual war in a country that can't protect itself and we simply cannot leave without creating a great instability in the area. The current administration now says we've done a great thing; we've brought democracy to a land ruled by an evil dictator. They avoid the truth of the matter and say things like this We can all see the hypocrisy in the administration's statements. If we were committed to bringing democracy to countries in desperate need of a change we would be pounding the ground in Sudan right now. Do you think its time to alter our current foreign policy?
3. A budget deficit of $455 billion
Its real easy folks, you can't cut taxes and fund a war at the same time. Put it together America.......Troops need to get paid and they need supplies.....The government pays for these supplies with money from our taxes........Our taxes have been cut........Less money for our troops. The current administration has created a deficit - an excess of liabilities over assets (usually over a certain period). Looks like the current administration is not making the right fiscal decisions. We are still committed in both Iraq and Afghanistan but, the current president is still committed to across-the-board tax cuts. America: We can't have it both ways. Maybe we will have to reconsider those tax cuts for the upper class?
4. Six million fewer jobs.
We were promised that the afore mentioned tax cuts would provide jobs by giving back money that would be used to create jobs but, three years later it still has not come to pass. The only thing these cuts have done is widen the gap between the rich and the poor. Our current president always talks of strengthening the American family. Mr. President may I be so bold as to say, "We can provide a stronger family by providing work and paychecks for them!" Maybe its time for America to vary its tax policy and try something else?
5. We have 1.3 million more impoverished families.
This is a direct result of the current administrations tax cuts. Instead of encouraging investing amongst the nations rich the current administration has given them a free ride. There's no need to invest in business to make money, the current administration has simply given the rich money could be used to balance the budget and fight a PROPER war on terrorism. America needs to amend they way its going to fight the war on terror.
6. Last but not least...as a result of points 4 and 5 we now have another 5 million Americans without proper health care insurance and thus cannot afford proper medical treatment. We could address this problem by developing a national health care system or we can do what the current administration has done and ignore the problem and let more and more Americans and American children go without a way to afford the prescription drugs and treatments they need to get better. We need to revolutionize health care in America.
There are a lot of change needed here in America. We can get a good running start by swapping out the failing presidential administration and subbing in a new one. America must now flip-flop on its decision to put George W. Bush in office in 2000 and in 2004 elect John F. Kerry.
