Guys,
This is what our elected politico's love; us arguing with each other, putting heat on each other, rather than putting heat on our elcted officials. The more we argue with each other, the less time there is to realize that ALL politicians at the Congressional level are as crooked as a dog's hind leg. If you're not crooked, you'll never get elected to Congress. But hey, I'm game for a little dispute.
The Reagan years; what I bright spot in American politics. Tax cuts and increased defense spending (i.e. Star Wars Defense System), which changed us from a creditor nation into a nation packing a 5 trillion dollar debt. Thanks Ron, what better to leave your kids with than a mountain of debt to pay off? My folks, and some of you Reagan lovers, were the first generation IN HISTORY to hand a lower standard of living off to their children than they enjoy/enjoyed. How proud they must be. If I can't hand MY kids a higher standard of living than I enjoy, then at least I can do my part to hand them an environment that's better than the one I lived in. That's why Slade won't get my vote. What good is a fat wallet if you have to spend your income in a world decimated by the industries that own our politicians?
Don't like BIG government, huh? Then check out Slade's voting record regarding Federal wiretaps, and Federal ID cards. Want the Feds to know where you are and what you're up to all the time? Then, by all means, vote for Slade. I figure, as long as I pay my taxes, the Feds don't need to know what I'm doing in my spare time and they sure as h*ll don't need to know what I'm saying on my phone or via email.
I'll just vote my conscience in November....and my conscience says "VOTE AGAINST SLADE GORTON". We'll see what the vote tallies say, and then whine at each other again after the elections.
Fish on........
