Do YOU feel safer knowing Bush is president?

[Deja Q]

Many rethugs I know still think this way.

But with the latest tussle with Iran; with China and apparently Russia helping them out, that now makes China and Russia harborists for terrorists. And I'm going soely by Bush's own definitions here.

Meanwhile, guess who is on vacation - yet again? http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=1447092&page=1

1. I feel safer because Bush said so.

I mean he repeates it at least 30-40 times in every speech he's made for the last 2-3 years, right? So it must be true! :sarcasm:

2. You might as well have labeled number one...

...I'm a Freeper.

[Deja Q]

4. That or

"If I don't respond to why I voted for this one, consider me a freeper."

Seems only fair.

Unfortunately, some people don't bother to explain their viewpoint - which in turn renders their credibility nullified. Or should be nullified; there's no point in having an opinion unless one can say WHY they have their opinion.

3. you're joking right?

There's a problem in the premise/layout as well here.

* is screwing this world seven ways to Sunday. Whether or not we have another war in the immediate future is certainly serious, but it's only one of a plethora of evils.

For instance:

Wealth/income disparity
Environmental destruction
Degradation of international relations (admittedly somewhat tied to questions of war)
Loss of transparency in government
Erosion of scientific basis for deciding technical issues at the government level

... and that's just my short list. I'm sure others can add more.

6. Your first two points can only be resolved by population reduction:

In other words, you and I.

Maybe it's because I'm an Aspie and have always been a pariah in your world, but I am content with our fate. We all die at some point anyway; but it makes no difference to me if my demise is all that sooner. I have nothing to lose; nor do I see possessions as something worthy to keep. It's just a waste of space... but before I digress.

Point 5 has nothing to do with science. It has to do with common sense, and it's obvious they haven't any - but it's deliberate because they want to destroy government from within. It's a simple enough reality. They want people to hate government; especially when the media hypes up certain corporations for doing more for Katrina victims THAN the government. :think:

Point 4 is a nonissue.

Point 3 was a given, ever since the July 2001 secret meetings and the purported warnings delivered to the USA in August re: the Bin Laden attacks. I'm amazed things have lasted as long as they have; and I'm hoping for a couple more years anyway. Not sure why, but I do.

5. Hell no!

I have not voted as none of the answers agree with me. I wish there was one that says:

"No, he is getting us in more danger every day"

[Xenotime]

7. * will take us to war with China and Iran...

it just has to happen.

[lonestarnot]

8. Nuke will fly. Bushitler will see to it.

And Congress doesn't need to give him further war powers, he will just take them, just like the spy crap.

[baldguy]

9. I am very worried, but there won't be a real war.

If the GOP maintains power here will be a large increase in military spending around the world, in the US to "defend against the terrorists and their allies" and in order nations to counter the US build-up.

But a real war is bad for business.

10. The foreign press is amazing these days. They know everything

we know.

I have to believe that our enemies see the same ignorant fool that we see in Bush. That's got to embolden them to act against us or our interests, especially since we seem to be lost in Iraq and haven't yet caught the orchestrators of the WTC bombings. There's got to be an entire generation of Iraqi's, for instance, inspired by bin Laden's treachery.

We could be screwed as we speak.
