I do not understand.......... |

How can more than half of all voters re-elect a president with the following record?
Attack on America happened on his watch.
Ignored threats of OBL right up to 9/11.
Said there were WMD's in Iraq,....there were none.
Created $7.5 trillion national debt
Supported rollback of overtime pay for workers.
First president since Herbert Hoover to have net job loss during his term.
Gave tax cut of which 90% went to top 2% of wage earners.
Last week signed a windfall tax relief bill for corporate America.
Wants to privatize social security which will cause $1 trillion gap in SS funding.
Signed bill that doesn't allow the government to negotiate drug prices.
Refuses to allow meaningful stem cell research.
Has no interest in preserving our environment.
Doesn't believe in global warming.
Developed secret deal with the energy companies.
Has done little to eliminate nuclear weapons in former Soviet states that are unregulated and susceptible to falling into terrorist hands.
North Korea, Iran and China have increased their efforts to build nuclear weapons under his watch. Underfunded "no child left behind bill" so teachers are teaching to the test instead of providing a comprehensive education. Has not provided the funding needed to protect our borders and ports.
Sent our troops to war without critical armor and equipment.
Went to war with absolutely no plan for securing the peace.
Thumbed his nose at UN and our allies.
Is responsible for over 1000 American soldier's deaths.
Is responsible for 10 of thousands innocent Iraqi deaths.
Gave Haliburton a $6 billion no bid contract.
After saying he would get OBL "Dead or Alive", OBL is still out there.
Al Qaeda is growing in strength.
Told the terrorist to "Bring them on", and they did.
Has the US stuck in a quagmire in Iraq which has cost the US $120 billion and counting.
Created an environment in Iraq that is now creating more terrorists than there were before the Iraq invasion.
The Taliban is making a comeback in Afghanistan.
Enacted Patriot Act and Patriot Act II which infringes on our civil rights and will become even more intrusive and extreme.
Wants a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriages.
Using government funds to support faith based initiatives.
Will probably fill 2-4 Supreme Court Justice position in the next 4 yeas with ultra conservative judges.
All I can say, they've made their bed, let them sleep in it. Unfortunately we have to sleep in that bed too. I am so disillusioned with the American electorate.
Kerry was the RIGHT candidate, at the RIGHT time in the RIGHT place. He gave it his all. I would follow him into battle.
