Awe now, c'mon Rich. Dean is gonna change all that and show all those stars and bars flag wavers along with the heartland of America how wrong they are. He's gonna show them that they are really on the dark side and need to walk into the light and set themselves free. Heck, Bush might as well try get get the Union votes. Wonder what all those IAM guys at Boeing are saying now? Remember the IAM was all about Gore. Think that tanker deal would have went through with him running the show?
One thing that I have always found interesting is how everyone says all the Republicans care about is big Business?? If that holds true I'd sure love to see one large metropolitan area that the rep's have taken in the Presidential election. NY, no. LA, no. SF, no. Chicago, no. Seattle, no. Boston, no. Miami, no. Probably Dallas but unsure. Anyway, here is a layout and you can check for yourself.
election results maps My point is that If all the Republican party cared about was big business wouldn't ya think that they'd at least get a few of the big business cities? After all isn't it the left that is always preaching how the right is all about tax cuts to the rich? My perception of how it lays out is that the Dems only really care about the large densely populated areas and don't give a squat about the little guys that make this country tick. I see it as they spend their time on the Big Business areas. I don't recall but who ran NAFTA through? That wasn't at all about big business was it? How many American jobs were lost because of that? Ya Bush got a lot more campaign money but he gets a lot more individual donations than do the Dems(generally).
I think what we REALLY need is a more moderate pres. I can't say that I'm all for everything that the right does but since I have been able to vote, 1988. I have always voted republican because I have always felt that their agenda is closer aligned to my way of thinking. I am NOT for gay marriage. I think the best person for the job should get the job and not have quotas. I think that people that bust their A$$ to get ahead in life shouldn't be punished cause some drug addict or 21 y/o mom with 4 kids on welfare is to stupid or to lazy to take care of themselves. I also don't think we need 8 million different social programs to make people feel better about themselves paid for by tax dollars. I think that prison should be what it's mean to be and not some place where a child rapist can be locked up for 10 years and come out with a Phd. because we need to rehab them. If you break the law you going to get punished, lock their ass up, everyone is in general population. And they can make big rocks into little rocks. There is way to much touchy feely crap going on on the left for me.
Wow, quit the little rant I got going on here. One last thing though. I feel that most people get defensive about whomever they voted for mostly because they don't want to feel as if they may have put the wrong candidate in office. Heck, Bush does some stuff that I just have to shake my head at and wonder. But, when I hear someone else come in and start doing the I told you so, Ya I'm gonna be po'd. I mean were all Americans and just really want the best for our country right? It's sorta like having a fat ugly sister. You aint gonna tell anyone that she fat and ugly. And you sure as he11 are gonna get defensive and stand up for her if someone else say's she fat and ugly. Do I think that Bush is the greatest thing ever? That's a BIG HE!! no. But, he's waaayyy better than Gore and we are far better off with him than Al Bore. Hell, the dems can't even get their own party straight. They'll be infighting and undercutting each other till the primaries. Heck, Bush may not even need to run a campign. By, next year our economy will be chugging along pretty well, the deficit will start shrinking and Bush's popularity will be so high it should be walk in the park..
Exit stage left..
