Opinion of the President

[TheTinMan]

They're all too busy trying to come up with ways to discredit each other instead of dealing with the issues at hand,,,what a zoo!

Actually since I was a young fellow and going thru the looming Vietnam draft era I rejected as a lot of my fellow students of that era did the two party system as being a miserable failure. In fact I took a lot of heat from our parents and elders and from the political media because we wasted out vote, were not part of the preliminary election process etc.
I have watched as otherwise good intelligent people voted for the Dem or Rep because that was a party affiliation. Could not even tell me what they stood for, only cared about party affiliation.
Tell me how brainwashed you can get by culture and media.
The big thing I hear again and again is you waste your vote etc. etc. We have heard it again on this post. Yes I know its a two party system and all the other excuses but in reality I am a member of the largest political party in the U.S by a big margin. INDEPENDENTS. Thats right by a big margin. And if we ever get a strong leader and people, including the so called independents stop voting for these carreer sharks we will have a third party system and things will change forever, for the good. It almost happened with a blooming idiot named Perot for Christ's sake. Imagine if a true gifted leader was put in his position we would have a third party. I for one am not voting for the lesser of two evils anymore, I'm finding the best candidate and voting for him.
Look at just our little site, diiferent opinions about some things but I'm willing to bet not much difference of opinion on wether we should change our system to a third party or even fourth.
Come next election look for the best man, woman K-9 whatever and vote for him, get most of the so called independents to vote for them and watch what happens

Well I hate to do this but.....I give thanks daily the W is in the White House right now as opposed to either of the clowns he has run against.

WMDs he did not lie, THE ENTIRE WORLD THOUGHT THEY WERE THERE, an Iraqi General has just written a book and he says Saddam rushed the WMDs out before we went in. Has anyone looked in Syria??

W for better or worse has the Nortons to stand up and do what he thinks is right...even if it is wrong sometimes, he does not lead based on opinion polls like Kerry would have, like Gore would have and like Clinton did.

No other President in reccent history has had the momentous issues to deal with that W has. It is only natural that he get blamed since he is in the hot seat.

I could not care less what Latin America, Germany, France, Italy, Russia, China or California think about America and our politics. It is a natural reaction for any petty little country to resent the biggest, richest, strongest and best nation in the history of the world. *

North Korea, remember them, they officially supported John Kerry's campaign, can you imagine?

Katrina...unprecedented, NO ONE could have anticipated that.

We are not in Iraq for the original reason we went in, but once we were there , we cannot just leave, THE INVASION WAS FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS, Saddam was a threat to the entire world.

Osoma has not been caught yet, but he has been on the run like never before, to the point that he is almost totally ineffective.

I hope these opinions don't rattle anyones cage to hard but after being on the pointy end of Americas spear for 20 yrs I have some very strong opinions about this stuff.

I am not a conservative Kool-Aid drinker, and I do not vote the party line, I would have loved for Senator Lieberman to have become President, out of all the candidates I think he would have made the best President, second best is W, Liebernan would have made just as many people angry and been just as unpopular at this point in his presidency because would also have done what he thought was right and not was was popular in California, Canada or France

GOD BLESS AMERICA AND EVERY PATRIOT WHO HAS SACRIFICED FOR FREEDOM. MAY WE ALWAYS HAVE THE FREEDOM TO DISAGEEE IN A PUBLIC FORUM. Now lets go fishin'

That's a great observation, I agree 100%.
I also agree that we are very lucky to enjoy the freedoms we have in this country.

I've tried a couple times to formulate reasonable arguments to the effect of

"let's not berate people in other countries for their valid opinions, we will never understand how hard they work for us to have orange juice in the morning,"

but I got too mad each time to be rational. I don't advocate a socialist world where we put flowers in our hair and dance in the streets, but I advocate basic human rights for all countries we trade with.

Ya know how George W knew there was WMD - his dad gave them to Iraq and Afghanistan!!!! Reagan gave them to Afghanistan when they were fighting the former Soviet Union. Old Bush had something to do with it too, when he headed up the CIA.

You wanna get those deadbeat croonies and money hungry career politicians out of office, get those people who vote for American Idol to vote for president and other elected positions.

Me, personally I think we need something like " Mr. Hutson goes to Washington"

BE CAREFUL, THE NSA IS LISTENING!!

[TheTinMan]

Does anyone remeber Bush saying "Besides, they (Iraq) tried to kill my Dad". He said this on national television before we sent our troops over there. My jaw hit the floor! I couldn't believe my ears.

Tin...I'm GLAD somebody else saw that, too!!...THAT'S when he made his first BIG MISTAKE...notice he NEVER said it again...he didn't ascend the THRONE...he was ELECTED Pres....also, the fact that he had Saddam's personal pistol brought to him after his capture...personal vendetta, big part of the whole invasion...

Anyway, like I mentioned, he will be gone soon (not soon enough)...it's what happens next that we can do somethin' about...Willy, all the yak about 2 parties not workin' is right on the money...But until we can field a suitable candidate w/$$ backing, best we can do is vote against incumbent party (unless it's for Hillary...SCARY :o) of everyone running...whoever's in, GET 'EM OUT!!...

Hey Franco...if I get elected, I'll subsidize recreational fishin'..."Mr. Hutson goes to Wash"....whadda HOOT!!... ;D ;D...

Mirage2521, I'm with you (except I did not like Leiberman). I retired from the military in 2004, after serving 25 years (10 Air Force, 15 Army). I was at the Iran hostage rescue attempt, Desert Storm and the one now. I returned from Afghanistan in 2004. I continue to work for the miltary as a civilian. The American people really don't have a clue about all the facts (most of them don't want to). They just believe the hype put out by the media, who just care about how good a story sounds. I just know that as a serviceman I felt in all of the conflicts I participated in we needed to be there. I would rather fight them on there ground than on our ground. Because when they get here we have nowhere to run. People need to quit sitting in their easy chairs making decisions without all the facts and go ask the soldiers actually over there what they think.
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND OUR TROOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
