Okay, so I've never been superhuge on politics. Reason being is that no matter what your party affiliation, be it Democrat or Republican, whoever gets voted into the White House will probably suck. It's just the way things go.
However, it seems that ol' W sucks more than most lately. I can't think of another president that got us into a war, our economy in the toilet, the dollar not being worth much to the rest of the world and creating a deficit like you wouldn't believe. Maybe it's just me but I think he needs to go.
For all those W'04 folks, are you happy? Just wondering. I'm not saying that John Kerry would have been much better, but I don't think he could have been much worse. It's pretty sad when you ask people who they're voting for and more responses were, "Well, I'm not voting for John Kerry as much as I'm voting against George Bush." Yeah, good times.
I only bring this up as there are more and more concerns with all this money that has been appropriated for the war and then not being accounted for. The State Department can't account for over 1 billion (yep with a "b") dollars, yet the President is asking for more money. I don't think it's all for the troops since they still complain about not having the right amount of materials, supplies, appropriate equipment, and we all know they're not getting paid what they should. My guess is that this going to all those government contractors (Halliburton) that have done such a good job so far (Blackwater) in supporting the war on terror and freeing the people of Iraq.
Anyone else wondering what happened to the fight in Afghanistan? Isn't that where Osama bin Laden is supposed to be? Isn't he the one that they said masterminded the whole 9/11 plot and that's the reason why we needed to go to war? So what's up with Iraq? No WMDs, Sadaam's gone, and the people aren't any freer. So why go to war? To help the oppressed people of Iraq? Probably not because if that were the case we'd be in a whole lot more countries trying to help those folks like in Darfur. Well, they don't have vast oil reserves there do they? Was that out loud?
Okay, so that was my rant for the day. I'm sure I'm getting something from a Bush supporter coming my way. Hopefully it won't be ticking.
Hoping for a new perspective at life.sa.laugh@hotmail.com.
