Subject: RE: BS: How Bush stole the 2004 election
I do not believe that Republicans are evil, pdq. I think many of them are misguided and misinformed, but they're not evil. Many Democrats are misguided and misinformed too, but they're not evil either.

Fer Chrissake.....EVERYONE in the USA wants a fiscal policy that will lead to prosperity, not bankruptcy! The only problem is that there are a relatively few very extremely rich people at the top in banking and business who think that their personal prosperity is the only prosperity that really matters...when it comes to each specific decision that is made along the way. They're mistaken in that assumption, but they are doing what they think is "the right thing for the nation" by protecting their own personal interests, avoiding taxes, moving money and jobs offshore, and maximizing profits for themselves.

The problem is that it hurts everyone else in the USA when they do those things.

EVERY American wants a strong DOD. But your present DOD goes far beyond being merely "strong". It's a world-devouring monster. The USA spends more each year on military production than all the other nations in the world, invades more countries than anyone else does, and has bases all over the world on other people's territory, just like the British Empire once did. The USA is doing what people like Hitler and Napoleon only wished they could do...but they didn't have the material resources to. That isn't a "strong" DOD, pdq, it's a DOD that threatens the entire world.

EVERY American wants secure borders too.

You are naive to imagine that only Republicans have these things in mind.

You ALL want a strong DOD, secure borders, and a fiscal policy that will lead to prosperity, not bankruptcy...but you can't flippin' agree on how to do it. Period.
