Yes I Voted

I went and voted yesterday. Took care of my civic duty. Looks like everyone else was doing the same thing as the line was pretty long and I had a 35 min. wait. But that's o.k. It's over and done with now and all that's left is the wait until the count. Or if you're Kerry supporters the recounts you will be calling for if your man comes out on the losing end.
Yea, I voted for Bush. I'm sure some of you will probably want to slam me for it but I just can't see anything positive in Kerry to vote for. All I've heard from him is why I should not vote for Bush. Yea, I've heard him say he's going to do this, and I'm going to do that, but he hasn't said one thing about HOW he is going to do it.

There are a few things that bother me about Kerry and his party:
  • Kerry has tried to blame the 17% Medicare premium increase on Bush when it was actually mandated by President Clinton's "balanced budget amendment" voted into law by Kerry and scheduled to come into effect during this administration with Bush having no authority to reverse what had been voted into law
  • LBJ and the democratically controlled House and Senate took Social Security from the independent "trust" fund and put it into the General fund so congress could spend it, as has EVERY President since then
  • The Democratic party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding
  • The Democrats started taxing Social Security annuities with Al Gore casting the "tie breaking" vote as the Pres. Of the Senate while he was Vice President of the United States.
  • Jimmy Carter and the Democrats elected to start giving Social Security payments to immigrants living in this country when they reached age 65 even though they NEVER paid a dime into it.

Social Security is going to have to be fixed. Kerry said he isn't going to touch it. Bush has a plan. It may not be the best, who knows. I kind of like the idea of getting to decide where to invest some of my money. If it don't go fine. But the fact is SOMETHING'S GOT TO BE DONE SOON.

Another thing is this shit about Bush re-instating the draft if he is re-elected. Mr. Kerry better back way up on that remark. There have already been two bills introduced to start the draft back up and they were introduced by-----wait a second-----looking-----here it is. Charles Rangel, D-NY and Fritz Hollings D-SC. So I don't believe it's the Republicans looking to start the draft back up.

Which brings me to my next point. I just can't bring myself to vote for a traitor. Anybody that did what Kerry did in my book is a traitor, and has no right to serve as President of the United States of America.

  • He testified under oath before congress about atrocities committed by American troops and admitted to committing some himself
  • He worked with Jane Fonda aiding the enemy
  • He left Vietnam early (4mos) with 3 scratches leaving his men behind and joins Hanoi Jane
  • He traveled to Paris twice to co-ordinate with and give hope to a communist delegation from Hanoi

These activities by Kerry and Fonda used to be called treason. Now you want him to be President??

Now the Iraq war that we are in now. I do agree that it hasn't been handled the best that it could of been, but we are there and we are going to have to see it through.(And yes I have family over there and he will tell you the same thing)

What I think is truly ironic is how Kerry can sit back and bash Bush on how he went over there without a coalition of allies and sent the men in without the proper equipment to fight the war they went in to fight.

I guess as far as the equipment goes it may be because Senator Kerry has voted AGAINST every defense measure and weapons system that has come before him since he has been a Senator.

As far as the allies go, we had 34 allies with us during the first gulf war with Iraq. We have 30 allies with us this time. Who's missing??

France, Germany, Russia, China

And who had sweetheart deals with Hussein and had just been stung by the UN scandal over food-for-oil in Iraq

The UN, France, Germany, Russia

AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT!!
