Scott_J Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 The average Americans seem to be totally oblivious to the fact that homelessness has risen by 40-50% on a nationwide level and that poverty has reached an all time high. They don't know that the US is last in education levels among first world countries, that the deficit is greater than ever in recorded history, that the unemployment rate keeps climbing despite Bush claiming otherwise, or all the other grim facts of life in America.

catbirdseat Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 I saw some of Bush's new TV ads last night. In one of them he keeps saying, "I KNOW what to do" to bring jobs to this country, to keep us safe, to jump start the economy, blah, blah, blah. I couldn't help thinking, "If you've KNOWN what do to for the last four years, why in the HELL, haven't you done it!" Quote
Blake Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 poverty has reached an all time high. Total or as a %? See the 1890s and 1930s for reference. Quote

Except keeping us safe, give companies the freedom to be profitable. Quote

willstrickland Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 My mom has only voted for a democrat one time, and never for president (it was a House of Rep seat). Voted for Republican presidential candidates in every election since 1972. I'd call that "core constituent". Many months ago she'd had enough of Shrub. Said to me "if he (Bush) sends our troops to one more place, I won't vote for him again". Three days later, we had troops in Liberia. She's voting for Kerry. Quote
fenderfour Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 Dammit... I saw this thread and I thought it was a TR from a 5.2 climb in this thread Quote
