Social Security Surplus
BUSH PLEDGES NOT TO TOUCH SOCIAL SECURITY SURPLUS... "We're going to keep the promise of Social Security and keep the government from raiding the Social Security surplus." [President Bush, 3/3/01]
...BUSH SPENDS SOCIAL SECURITY SURPLUS The New York Times reported that "the president's new budget uses Social Security surpluses to pay for other programs every year through 2013, ultimately diverting more than $1.4 trillion in Social Security funds to other purposes." [The New York Times, 2/6/02]
2. Patient's Right to Sue
GOVERNOR BUSH VETOES PATIENTS' RIGHT TO SUE... "Despite his campaign rhetoric in favor of a patients' bill of rights, Bush fought such a bill tooth and nail as Texas governor, vetoing a bill coauthored by Republican state Rep. John Smithee in 1995. He... constantly opposed a patient's right to sue an HMO over coverage denied that resulted in adverse health effects." [Salon, 2/7/01]
...CANDIDATE BUSH PRAISES TEXAS PATIENTS' RIGHT TO SUE... "We're one of the first states that said you can sue an HMO for denying you proper coverage... It's time for our nation to come together and do what's right for the people. And I think this is right for the people. You know, I support a national patients' bill of rights, Mr. Vice President. And I want all people covered. I don't want the law to supersede good law like we've got in Texas." [Governor Bush, 10/17/00]
...PRESIDENT BUSH'S ADMINISTRATION ARGUES AGAINST RIGHT TO SUE "To let two Texas consumers, Juan Davila and Ruby R. Calad, sue their managed-care companies for wrongful denials of medical benefits ‘would be to completely undermine' federal law regulating employee benefits, Assistant Solicitor General James A. Feldman said at oral argument March 23. Moreover, the administration's brief attacked the policy rationale for Texas's law, which is similar to statutes on the books in nine other states." [Washington Post, 4/5/04]
3. Tobacco Buyout
BUSH SUPPORTS CURRENT TOBACCO FARMERS' QUOTA SYSTEM... "They've got the quota system in place -- the allotment system -- and I don't think that needs to be changed." [President Bush, 5/04]
...BUSH ADMINISTRATION WILL SUPPORT FEDERAL BUYOUT OF TOBACCO QUOTAS "The administration is open to a buyout." [White House spokeswoman Jeanie Mamo, 6/18/04]
4. North Korea
BUSH WILL NOT OFFER NUCLEAR NORTH KOREA INCENTIVES TO DISARM... "We developed a bold approach under which, if the North addressed our long-standing concerns, the United States was prepared to take important steps that would have significantly improved the lives of the North Korean people. Now that North Korea's covert nuclear weapons program has come to light, we are unable to pursue this approach." [President's Statement, 11/15/02]
...BUSH ADMINISTRATION OFFERS NORTH KOREA INCENTIVES TO DISARM"Well, we will work to take steps to ease their political and economic isolation. So there would be -- what you would see would be some provisional or temporary proposals that would only lead to lasting benefit after North Korea dismantles its nuclear programs. So there would be some provisional or temporary efforts of that nature." [White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan, 6/23/04]
5. Abortion
BUSH SUPPORTS A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE... "Bush said he...favors leaving up to a woman and her doctor the abortion question." [The Nation, 6/15/00, quoting the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, 5/78]
...BUSH OPPOSES A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE "I am pro-life." [Governor Bush, 10/3/00]
6. OPEC
BUSH PROMISES TO FORCE OPEC TO LOWER PRICES... "What I think the president ought to do [when gas prices spike] is he ought to get on the phone with the OPEC cartel and say we expect you to open your spigots...And the president of the United States must jawbone OPEC members to lower the price." [President Bush, 1/26/00]
...BUSH REFUSES TO LOBBY OPEC LEADERS With gas prices soaring in the United States at the beginning of 2004, the Miami Herald reported the president refused to "personally lobby oil cartel leaders to change their minds." [Miami Herald, 4/1/04]
7. Iraq Funding
BUSH SPOKESMAN DENIES NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR THE REST OF 2004... "We do not anticipate requesting supplemental funding for '04" [White House Budget Director Joshua Bolton, 2/2/04]
...BUSH REQUESTS ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR IRAQ FOR 2004 "I am requesting that Congress establish a $25 billion contingency reserve fund for the coming fiscal year to meet all commitments to our troops." [President Bush, Statement by President, 5/5/04]
8. Condoleeza Rice Testimony
BUSH SPOKESMAN SAYS RICE WON'T TESTIFY AS 'A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE'... "Again, this is not her personal preference; this goes back to a matter of principle. There is a separation of powers issue involved here. Historically, White House staffers do not testify before legislative bodies. So it's a matter of principle, not a matter of preference." [White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan, 3/9/04]
...BUSH ORDERS RICE TO TESTIFY: "Today I have informed the Commission on Terrorist Attacks Against the United States that my National Security Advisor, Dr. Condoleezza Rice, will provide public testimony." [President Bush, 3/30/04]
9. Science
BUSH PLEDGES TO ISSUE REGULATIONS BASED ON SCIENCE..."I think we ought to have high standards set by agencies that rely upon science, not by what may feel good or what sounds good." [then-Governor George W. Bush, 1/15/00]
...BUSH ADMINISTRATION REGULATIONS IGNORE SCIENCE "60 leading scientists—including Nobel laureates, leading medical experts, former federal agency directors and university chairs and presidents—issued a statement calling for regulatory and legislative action to restore scientific integrity to federal policymaking. According to the scientists, the Bush administration has, among other abuses, suppressed and distorted scientific analysis from federal agencies, and taken actions that have undermined the quality of scientific advisory panels." [Union of Concerned Scientists, 2/18/04]
10. Ahmed Chalabi
BUSH INVITES CHALABI TO STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS...President Bush also met with Chalabi during his brief trip to Iraq last Thanksgiving [White House Documents 1/20/04, 11/27/03]

11. Department of Homeland Security
BUSH OPPOSES THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY..."So, creating a Cabinet office doesn't solve the problem. You still will have agencies within the federal government that have to be coordinated. So the answer is that creating a Cabinet post doesn't solve anything." [White House spokesman Ari Fleischer, 3/19/02]
...BUSH SUPPORTS THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY "So tonight, I ask the Congress to join me in creating a single, permanent department with an overriding and urgent mission: securing the homeland of America and protecting the American people." [President Bush, Address to the Nation, 6/6/02]
12. Weapons of Mass Destruction
BUSH SAYS WE FOUND THE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION..."We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories...for those who say we haven't found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they're wrong, we found them." [President Bush, Interview in Poland, 5/29/03]
...BUSH SAYS WE HAVEN'T FOUND WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION "David Kay has found the capacity to produce weapons.And when David Kay goes in and says we haven't found stockpiles yet, and there's theories as to where the weapons went. They could have been destroyed during the war. Saddam and his henchmen could have destroyed them as we entered into Iraq. They could be hidden. They could have been transported to another country, and we'll find out." [President Bush, Meet the Press, 2/7/04]
13. Free Trade
BUSH SUPPORTS FREE TRADE... "I believe strongly that if we promote trade, and when we promote trade, it will help workers on both sides of this issue." [President Bush in Peru, 3/23/02]

14. Osama Bin Laden
BUSH WANTS OSAMA DEAD OR ALIVE... "I want justice. And there's an old poster out West, I recall, that says, 'Wanted: Dead or Alive.'" [President Bush, on Osama Bin Laden, 09/17/01]

16. WMD Commission
BUSH RESISTS AN OUTSIDE INVESTIGATION ON WMD INTELLIGENCE FAILURE... "The White House immediately turned aside the calls from Kay and many Democrats for an immediate outside investigation, seeking to head off any new wide-ranging election-year inquiry that might go beyond reports already being assembled by congressional committees and the Central Intelligence Agency." [NY Times, 1/29/04]

. . .if you still try to defend the infamies and horrors perpetrated by that Antichrist- I really believe he is Antichrist- I will have nothing more to do with you and you are no longer my friend.. . - War and Peace, Tolstoy
I believe it is absolutely imperative to vote Bush out of office... but you just don't get it.... so I'll dumb it down some for you.
So let me try this another way.....
Let me ask those of you who happen to be Republicans to tell me anything that is better in the USA than it was prior to Bush's term in office.
The truth of the matter is that we aren't better off than we were 4 years ago. So why don't you ask yourself these questions.... "How is my life better, how is my country better, and how is my economy better than it was before Bush took office?
Then ask Bush why the reasons we went to war in Iraq keep changing. What is this week's justification for the unjustifiable? Where are those WMD's again?
Also, I have a problem with anyone who uses God to get what they want. I worry about someone that uses that tactic. Bush constantly invokes his belief in God to gain votes......when they talk about using the Lord's name in vain, you think this might be an example?
All I know is that Bush must be removed from office. We will not be a safer country with him in office. We will not be more free with Bush as president. Our country will be in greater danger if we have him for another 4 years.

maggienuthins how many times do you lefties need that asked and answered?
It has been answered and answered but it seems that those on the left refuse to open their eyes and read with some comprehension...
President Bush is/will be better for this country than kerry could ever think about being... kerry cannot deliver on those promises he is making and now even his dumbass lackey is trying to say stem cell research will cure alzheimers... BS... it is already proven it will not.
Economy started down in 2000, yes that is a FACT... who was President in 2000? hmmmm I know thinking is not a big suit for the left but most of ya can figure it out....
What the left needs to ask themselves is why they are voting for a lying traitor? Why would you vote for someone that you know cannot live up to the promises he is making?
You don't have a good reason for voting for kerry other than you don't like President Bush... well as has been said... it is not always the strong leader that makes a popular decision.
posted on October 13, 2004 09:50:00 AM newLet me ask those of you who happen to be Republicans to tell me anything that is better in the USA than it was prior to Bush's term in office.
Several things are much better. We're now requiring accountability in our schools that our children are actually being taught something, rather than just being passed along. NCLB bill.
There a better overhall of Medicare and more benefits to our elderly....something the dems couldn't accomplish in 8 years.
All of our tax rates have been lowered and because of that many families have benefited and everyone pays less taxes. Many more of the poor don't have to pay taxes at all because of the tax rate changes this President has passed.
We now have a President who's not afraid to take action against our enemies. Unlike our previous president who allowed five attacks on our Nation's interests and did almost nothing about it. You won't EVER TALK terrorists out of their goal...they must be defeated. kerry wants to return our policy back to pre-9-11 policy which obviously DIDN'T WORK. The bribes the previous administration had used to keep NK from developing NW didn't work...they lied and did it anyway. Yet kerry has suggested he'd do the same to Iran....help them by giving them what they need to develop their own. NO way, jose.
President Bush has also returned morality back to our government. The 'tide' is swinging back more to conservative values....and many are happy to see that....rather than the liberals view of 'anything goes'.
"How is my life better, how is my country better, and how is my economy better than it was before Bush took office?
Like twelve has stated...we've said these things over and over again. You just aren't hearing them. You don't agree so our reasons are mocked or ignored. Most of us can see the recession that took place, the cost of recovering after 9-11, both in the job market and with our economy and in addition to that two wars. We think, especially looking at other countries, he's done a very good job of bringing us back.
Then ask Bush why the reasons we went to war in Iraq keep changing. What is this week's justification for the unjustifiable? Where are those WMD's again?
Again, what you on the left won't accept is that many reasons were given. A lot of reasons that were tied in with the UN resolutions that weren't honored for 13 years. All those 'last chances'....saddam didn't hold up his end of the bargain....a lot of other countries intelligence was saying the same as ours was...he did have womd. The record is very clear....but the liberals don't want to accept it. Nor do they wish to accept all the democrats, including kerry and edwards, who also stated many times saddam had womd and needed to be removed. This isn't a problem that just developed when President Bush took office.
And on the womd....no liberal can say, in all honesty, there were no womd. They have no proof they weren't moved somewhere else, weren't destroyed during those months President Bush was working to convince the UN and the lefties we needed to finally take action.
Also, I have a problem with anyone who uses God to get what they want. I worry about someone that uses that tactic. Bush constantly invokes his belief in God to gain votes......
If you'd be honest, you'd say that even democratic presidents have used God in the same exact way. Carter, clinton, FDR, etc....all mentioned God in their speeches. It just appears not to bother the left when their candidate is doing it.
Matter of face they complain when any mention of politics is done in/with a church....and yet when kerry's goes preaching during a church service that's somehow okay...accepted. It's hypocritical in my opinion. ALL Christians pray to God for guidance...even democratic presidents. It's not only the republican ones that practice their faith. Yes, some are more verbal about their faith than others. That's their Constitutional right to do so.
All I know is that Bush must be removed from office. We will not be a safer country with him in office. We will not be more free with Bush as president. Our country will be in greater danger if we have him for another 4 years.
And understand that we on the right feel JUST as concerned about kerry being elected....with just as much passion and committment as you do.

Excellent, excellent question, classicrock000. LOL...very good . I'm looking forward to hearing her answer to that question, for sure.
Cheryl, herself, worked in the campaign headquarters for Representative Dennis Kunich of Ohio. He was one of the 10 candidates who ran in the democratic primary trying for the dem nomination...and who she was helping get re-elected to his old job back, I believe. Now's she's mentioned she works for the kerry campaign.
Maybe that would be better for the people of Cleveland to try something new and different....like electing Republicans to get them out of their mess ...like they suggest we do with kerry.
