P/N

Sorry for the long post, but I have to show Sgt. the error of his line of thinking.
"Some"? Who are these people? Do they have names other than "Sergeant Stinger1"? Can you provide links to these claims? And there was this thing that happened on 9/11/01 that changed everything - maybe you forgot. Oh yeah, China's consumption is rising at a much faster rate than ours if I'm not mistaken, which is a huge factor in the price of oil.

Really? Didn't he **** up Mogadishu pretty good? He sent the troops in out-manned and under equipped and look at what happened. Oh yeah, he also didn't go after OBL after he attacked us more than once during his Presidency, which of course led up to 9/11/01. If that's "peace and prosperity", you can take it and shove it, well you know where - I don't really need to tell you do I?

So no democrat ever led us into war? Vietnam was started by...wait for it...a democrat. How many died and were injured for life in that little war? Oh yea, I guess this war is going a lot better than that one did huh?

And if the price of gas goes up, so does everything else, but that's just basic economics which might be why you didn't "make the connection" (for those of you who are familiar with Mr. Obvious, you just wet yourself a little bit).

If you meant "repossessed", then I'd love to see a link where MILLIONS (as in 2 million or more) are being repossessed. This also has absolutely NOTHING to do with who is in the White House. This has to do with several thousand people living so far beyond their means that bought houses they couldn't afford in the first place and at ridiculous terms. Let me introduce you to the term "personal responsibility", because it has just smacked a lot of people square in the face. And guess who gets to suffer because of these inconsiderate people? That's right, me and you. But somehow this is all Bush's fault because "everything is Bush's fault" right?

But somehow this is all Bush's fault because "everything is Bush's fault" right?

If the word you were looking for was "choosing", then I ask you to refer to everything I typed above because it's a snowball effect. 9/11, war, people living beyond their means, the world's oil consumption, etc... it all adds up.

Did you mean "worst"? I'm just going to go with that and continue on. The quality of our schools has been declining for years. The problem with the public school system is that the government is involved. If you really want to see the schools get better, remove the government from the equation.

Typos aside, I can't make out the point you are trying to make in this rant. It simply makes no sense whatsoever.

This is the one thing you have said that has made a lick of sense. VA funding has decreased for years and it's a shame. It is my hope that if McCain is elected he will do his best to fix this. Our troops deserve to be taken care of when they come home, regardless if they are injured or not. They put their lives on the line for all of us and they deserve better than what they have been getting.
Got a link for this? I'd love to see it.

Carter didn't leave a mess behind? What about Johnson? And even your pal Clinton didn't clean up the OBL mess because he did NOTHING. And before you jump to conclusions, Bush should have made OBL a priority when he took office, so he isn't blameless in all of this.

I wouldn't go that far. But with the current Legislative branch we have and the three not-so-great candidates we have for President, it could take longer. Washington is a cesspool and the White House isn't the only game in town. Our elected officials have lost sight of their purpose in office, and we are all suffering from it.

I definitely wouldn't use the term "weakened". They are battle hardened, smarter and better prepared than they were just 6 years ago. If you would have said "stretched thin" instead of "weakened", then you'd have a point.

Oh go on, knock yourself out. You didn't even get to first base with this rant. If you do this for days, you might get hit by a pitch and then you're 1/4 of the way home!

How exactly did Bush turn millionaires into billionaires? I'd like to see some proof of such a bold statement. And as far as Halliburton is concerned, Clinton used Halliburton for years, so one's just as guilty as the other. And Exxon-Mobile and the other oil companies are making record profits because there is record consumption. Once again, you get an 'F' for basic economics.

Dude, you really need to take a step back, have a beer and maybe a smoke after a rant like that. You remove logic from nearly every point you tried to make and butchered the English language in the process. I understand that you are upset and it's your nature to blame someone with an 'R' next to their name, but both sides are just as guilty in all of this. The Republicans had control of the WH, the House and the Senate and they botched everything they touched. The Dems have had control of the Senate and the House and they haven't done any better. Both sides suck and everything isn't Bush's fault. The sooner you realize that, the better off you'll be because you'll see that we're all screwed no matter who ends up in office.

I'll leave you with one last note - it's Presidency, not "Presidentcy".
