We will see.... you know how the pendulum swings in politics.

Yes, and for opening up jobs, due to all the soldiers that wont be comming back to them.

The US is in huge debt! Bush has accelerated the rate of accumulating debt by billions and billions. Why do you assume Canadians know less?? We live right across the border, we get your news, as well as balanced Canadian news. Just because you might not pay attention to anything that goes on in Canada, doesn't mean I or other Canadians pay no attention to your country.

Each year since 1969, Congress has spent more money than its income. The Treasury Department has to borrow money to meet Congress's appropriations. The total borrowed is more than $8,000,000,000,000 and growing. Even when government officials claim to have a surplus, they still spend more than they get in.

Damn right I am allowed to spew my so called "filth". And there is nothing you can do about it!

So typical to take the to the extreme than present your opinion. My sole concern is for the future of this country, at home and around the world. And the last eight years has been a travesty that may take decades to turn around!

You have the nerve to call me a traitor, how easy that is for you to spew. I served in the US Army as an infantryman and a battle soldier, as well as training recruits on the M203 grenade launcher. Not long after, many were sent off to their missions, some to die senseless deaths! I still have friends in the military on active duty and I know what they want to say! And the media and goverment censors them!

They want GW Bush out because of an evident lack of leadership! Although many are not stupid enough to express opinion publicly due to rampant backlash. Yes, they know it is their job to take orders. And they do... but there comes a time when the rational people have to stand up against irrational orders based on irrational fear, created by this administration in an ILLEGAL WAR, complete with the countrymen's war cries, easily incited by lies and pure propaganda!

But irrational fear is was not the case here. Saddam wasn't even a "real" enemy, and not two decades ago, he was an friend that we controlled because we hated Iran, and so did he. We know what he ad as far as weapons.. we gave them to him. Where was our fear then? We were giving him money and weapons to fight Iran (another fabricated brew-ha-ha we have recently revisited!). Even Bush, Sr., who didn't invade in the Gulf war, because he knew this would be the result. And even when Bush Jr was advised that his military strategy was wrong by his father friends.. he ignored them. But the lure of oil money, military contract money, and potential military presence in the Mideast was too great!.

WE WERE LED INTO THIS WAR BASED ON LIES! The proof is easily evident, but will never be used against him because of blind, easily distracted, apathetic, prostrate Americans who only stand up when they are directly affected, and not subject to personal retribution. Retribution, which is now a method of this administration of their "business as usual" partisan tactics, because they mark you as a traitor when you express any reasonable voice to the contrary!

If you so blindly follow leadership like this, then I want to thank you too for promoting the current, downward spiral of our country; eroding its' credibility, diminishing it's citizens constitutional rights and promoting the socially indifferent corporate money machine that values no one but it stockholders! Yes Mike.. thanks to you for that too!

So, I will celebrate. YES CELEBRATE, I SAY, once this unpatriotic, selfish, silver-spooned, imbecile, sorry excuse for a president is gone, AND the wayward elephant (get it?) he rode in on!

AND PS. It seems that all you do, based on many of the posts on your profile, is defend the current status quo. You antagonize people who express valid opinions with one line quips about being anti-American, anti-patriotic, or anti-Bush. Clearly, you see all three as the same thing. So if you cannot express opinion with some substance or backing, don't bother... it's a waste of your time to write them and out to read them.

I fail to see how you can rationally be so negative toward the USA and President Bush. Also beyond belief.

Agreed.. this MikeHend fellow is so blind and indoctrinated into the status quo the any kind of talk like this threatens him in some form or another. And the content of his replies is lacking any merit to be taken seriously.

The fact that HE KNOWS he is pronouncing the word incorrectly and refuses to correct himself, is a prime example of how he leads... facts be damned, I do what I want. This is a small, but telling, example how he conducts himself and about how he learns, or doesn't learn. THAT is why I can't past it.

That very issue of the correct pronunciation of the word "nuclear", as minor as it may seem, is George Bush personified.

And don't tell me that's the way the talk in West Texas... this is not some regional colloquism. I lived in Abilene for 4 years and never, ever heard someone say it in that way.

Maybe President Bush should have gotten a BJ while on the phone to his advisors, or had been consistently unfaithful to his wife, or was able to turn on the tears on demand, you may have like him. I doubt it, he's a Republican and you can't stand that. Suffer damn you, suffer.

Just think BEC, with all the Americans that will die, look at all the job availabilities.

The same way any person gets elected, by getting the most electoral votes.

The magic about this country is that you can replace the crew every four years. I guess you are an American.
