Default Politicians and Integrity

In this world nobody is perfect , we all make mistakes, we all do stupid things at one time or another in our lives. What is important is whether you can admit to making those mistakes and whether you have learned anything from those mistakes. Admitting to mistakes is a sign of maturity. When someone enters the political arena they better be prepared for every stupid thing they have ever done or said to come out into the open. If you did it admit to it and move on because a lie will catch up to you sooner or later and then your integrity will be in question. The war in Iraq is only one reason I will not be voting for Bush.

1. He is a alcoholic . He admits to drinking heavily for 20 years but does not admit to being an alcoholic.. He calls it his dark period. The first step to recovery is admitting you are an alcoholic. If you don't admit it then you don't think it is a real problem and the higher the chance of relapse.
2. He admits to branding fellow students while he was part of an organization in college. That is sadistic and a trait I don't want in my president.
3. He laughs and jokes about the people he has put to death while Governor of Texas. While I am for the death penalty in some cases I don't think that it is a laughing matter and should not be joked about. It is also sadistic and a sign of immaturity.
4. When pressed on issues he doesn't want to discuss he resorts to personal attacks on the questioner. Another sign of immaturity.
5. He is the most inarticulate president that we have ever had. He butchers the English lanquage anytime he is caught off guard or deviates from a scripted speech. He graduated from Yale for goodness sakes.
6. There are no shades of grey with President Bush, You're either for him or against him, good or evil, patriotic or unpatriotic. Life is not black and white and we should not have a president who thinks that way.
7. Says the presidency was a calling from God and God and him will keep the American people safe from the evil doers. I have one Savior and it is not Mr. Bush.

Default rw are you a hypocrit?

When you apply your template that you so applied to Bush (which changed the subject pretty quickly and smoothly) it made me wonder if you were willing to apply your template to Kerry, who would fail your standard as well.

You voting for Nader?

Please refer to any specific posts which you feel were hypocritical.

Default My female perspective

As far as I'm concerned, national security & fighting terrorism is the MAJOR issue of the day. Without real peace & security our freedoms mean nothing. I know what I'm getting with GW & I sleep better at night knowing our country is in capable hands.

GW IS "THE MAN!" for the job. Unlike Clinton who hid under the desk & chased girls in our Whitehouse while terrorists thrived. He also used the forceful arm of the govt. AGAINST Americans simply because they disagreed with him. If you want to good pic of what a coward is all you have to do is look at Sick Willie.

BTW, Kerry is no better with his lies & flip flops. Until the democrat voters clean up their own party I cannot vote for any democrat. In NJ for example, there was Torricelli. The Dems broke election laws with the help of their liberal judge counterparts & slipped in that bag of bones Lautenberg. Now with McGreevey, the guy won't step down so we can elect another gov. to replace him. NJ is a laughing stock in terms of our politics being equated to "The Sopranos." That's the DNC machine behind the curtain & NOT the GREAT OZ! They threw McGreevey in front of the bus to save themselves.

No, I'll stick with BUSH/CHENEY 2004.

Your female voter

My apologies. It wasn't a post you made as it was one by Cone10. However you agreed with it.
Here's what Cone says about President Bush:

2. He admits to branding fellow students while he was part of an organization in college. yadda yadda yadday
3. He laughs and jokes about the people he has put to death while Governor of Texas. blah blah blah blah blah
4. When pressed on issues he doesn't want to discuss he resorts to personal attacks on the questioner. yadda yadda yadda
5. He is the most inarticulate president that we have ever had. blah blah blah blah blah
6. There are no shades of grey with President Bush, yadda yadda blah blah blah blah yadda yadda blah blah.........blah
7. Says the presidency was a calling from God and blah yadda yadda blah blah blah
So, since you agreed, are you willing to put Kerry through the same template, the same standard set up here? Or are you just planning on voting Nader?

I hope this clarifies my earlier post.
