		<description>I am going to skip past opinion and point to the key.

We need to stir up America and get this nation back on track.  We need to call radio shows, write letters, and speak freely.  Our opinion counts and we need it to count big.  
The media is doing all they can to tear down and brain wash Americans into becoming the next socialist republic and we need to put the brakes on.  We need to bark out an about face and get this nation back in line.
Let&#039;s stop wasting more cyber-space on candidates and start pounding the issues.  It really doesn&#039;t matter who the Democins or Republicrats place in office, we need to get the people of the US of A setting the agenda.  That must start NOW!</description>

		<description>&quot;No offense intended but for the most part you Zoomies werenâ€™t off playing in the mud and jungle and the desert and mountains, you flew your missions and hit the â€˜Oâ€™ club by 1630â€¦&quot;

I hate to say it Fred but youâ€™re right on the money.  

Back when I was a young E-4, I went on a quick fix TDY to George AFB, CA to repair a C-141 that was transiting though with Army personnel returning off maneuvers.  We worked out of a trailer which was in a large aircraft hangar.  In the hangar, sleeping on the concrete were about 200 Army guys.  In the hangar with us were the Army Brass; couple Bird Colonels, officers, and a few Senior NCOsâ€™.  These guys got cots to sleep on.   They were standing there watching myself, another E-4 and an E-5; argue amongst ourselves over which of the better of two hotels in Victorville, CA we were going to spend the night.   Would you believe, those guys started referring to us as a certain part of the female anatomy?</description>

		<description>Poet, the buck stops there, Bush&#039;s office, if you&#039;re the one driving the train when it derails, you get called the one that crashed the train...

The morals of this nation?? I agree, been coming a while, otherwise, Bush has done a good job of driving a really good economy into the ground and he has taken this nation to the verge of bankruptcy with his debacle in Iraq...

The border is WIDE OPEN, we are under attack, and THAT is the fault of George Bush... 

Bush was all week pandering to the world of Islam as he tries to build a legacy...

You may disagree, that&#039;s fine, but the son of a bitch has all but destroyed this nation, and we still have another year for him to get it done...</description>

		<description>I blame bush for EVERYTHING after 06. HE cost congress and what we are seeing economically is the direct result of a do-nothing congress led by Demorats.

It takes at least a year for new elected officials to actually see what their legislation has done to the nation, the first year of the new congress was basically seeing the old congress policies come to fruition. NOW it&#039;s about what they have done and THAT is the reason Congress&#039;s approval rating is LESS than GWB&#039;s.

Most of your statements are spot on...

I think it&#039;s time WE ALL start looking past Bush and look FORWARD to who is going to have to clean up the mess.

The next President will deal with GWB&#039;s policies and decisions for at least a year, then what ever they do in their first year will resonate for the next 3-5 years.

IF we end up with a Demorat it will be because the GWB led Republicans lost our confidence that they were actually better than the Dems.</description>

		<description>I donâ€™t know about Mormons being conscious objectors.   Iâ€™ve served with quite a few Mormons during my 26 years; both Officers and NCOâ€™s.   The man who taught me what it was to be a Senior NCO, the one who groomed me, was not only a Mormon but also the Bishop of their local congregation.   Only once did I ever see him put his church duties in the forefront of his military duties.   That was when we had a KC-135 crash, killing six crewmen, of which the co-pilot was a member of his congregation.   He went to tell the manâ€™s wife and children their husband/father wasnâ€™t ever coming home.</description>

		<description>Being President of the United States is not as difficult as many think, in fact itâ€™s really quite a simple job. Itâ€™s an upper management position that all you really have to do is make decisions on a daily bases.

The foundation of the position is also really quite simple; America and its people come first. Every decision based on this one primary objective.

Your adviser comes to you and tells you that The United States has been attacked. Your decisions, find the people that did it make either kill them or bring them to justice.

Your commanders in the military tell you that before they go to war they will need more troops. Your decision, give them more troops.

Your adviser comes to you and tells you that our enemies are crossing our borders and are coming here to kill Americans. Your Decision, seal the border.

Your adviser comes to you and tells you that you need to pick a Secretary of State, a person that can deal with countries that Hate Women. Your Decision, you pick a man.

I could go on and on but I think you get the point.

Simply, you really have to work hard to screw up this position or you have to be a complete idiot.

I really think that if a painting contractor came to George W. Bush and told him it was time to paint The White House, Bush would tell him to wait until he decided on a color.

Yes, we are in deep trouble and I donâ€™t see it getting any better with any of these candidates running for office.

I not only blame Bush for our situation, I also blame the Bush-Bots that follow him so blindly.</description>
