I voted for Bush. Knowing what I think I know now, I would vote for Bush again if the elections were today and Al Gore was still the other choice. I support the war now the same way I would have supported it if Clinton would have finished it.
The stuff with Halliburton irks people (myself included), but anyone who didn’t realize that this was going to happen when they voted is not paying attention. The big oil/big business/Halliburton connection was well known. This is nothing new and should not have shocked anyone.
As far as healthcare and insurance (in general) goes:
I don’t believe what any politician says about health care. We are being lied to from every angle, so I don’t get emotional about it. We are maybe 5 years away from socialized medicine in this country. I don’t feel good about socialized anything, but it’s a catch 22. You can’t protect the big companies from frivolous lawsuits and scams and at the same time protect people from the insurance companies after the almighty dollar.
It’s hard to make a blanket statement about anything like this, but one of my biggest complaints is that Bush ran as a fiscal conservative and has been less fiscally conservative than I feared the other guy would have been. There have been a lot of variables thrown into this equation since the statement was originally made, but I still think it’s an issue.
Biggest Compliant:
The job market sucks. Who do I blame?
