The issues which encourage me to seek a change would be: 1.) Big talk on fiscal responsibility, followed by record deficits. ( I realize all feds play vodoo with the budget, i.e. counting if- come money projected into the future etc. but this is ridiculous). 2.) An enviornmental record which sets back clean water and air standards 40 years. I would like my 18 month old to have better air quality then we grew up with in the 60's. 3.)I can except a man who makes a few miscalculations, but not an a man who can't admit a mistake. Whether or not we should be in Iraq or not is a whole different issue, but let's at least admit we made some miscalculations,own up to it, fix it, and move on. 4.) I don't understand how we get warned of further and more devastating attacks by Al Quida by the Bushies, "if we make the wrong choice in November", These are the guys in charge who let us get clobbered the first time! You know the guys who don't read intelligence reports, FBI warnings, etc. Cuts into that vacation time at Crawford. 5.) The so-called Patriot Act, which is a lot like the Healthy Forest Act,a euphamism for slash and burn clear cutting by big timber companies, Patriot,is Bush-speak for a gestapo like legislation which so broadens the scope of what law enforcement can do legally, that you are personally at risk if the Federal Govt. decides they don't like your politics. you say that it only applies to non citizens, thats today, tomorrow they come for you! Any true patriot would roll over in their grave. 6.) No Child Left Behind and Pell Grants, Bush is for them, he just doesn't fund them, so they have minimal effect, same with rebuilding Iraq, appropriate huge sums of money, but don't ever actually do the work. I do notice that Halliburton gets paid, like 48.00 for a case of Coke, and Oil company profits are way up. If I were either one I'd vote for Bush. The rest of you at your own risk. I don't like Kerry either, but I'm counting on a one term minimal damage presidency. I think we will outlast Al Quida and prevail. But to shrink and tremble is un American, and to let them cause us to alter our free society in the name of safety is unacceptable. Maybe Kerry will surprise us and be a great president, we know Bush won't.
