I tend to think the exit pollsters should have been more specific in their questions.


 

 

 

The administration has tried to convince us that the exit polls revealed Bush received a great number of votes from people who were concerned about morals. Putting aside everything those people should and could have known before voting day, I wonder if they are disappointed in what we’ve seen since or if they have a strange, new definition of morals.

 

In my strictly non-religious version of morals, we look for things like honesty, trust, treating others fairly, and taking care of those less fortunate. The news is full of reports that prove Bush and his administration have strayed far on all of these issues, so I have to wonder how many of those voters (if they ever truly existed) feel betrayed. Oh yeah, betrayal has no place in my version of morals.

 

Aside from the lies about social security and the war in Iraq (those we all knew long before voting day), here are a few things I’ve seen in recent weeks that beg for answers.

 

The 1965 Voting Rights Act comes must be approved every twenty-five years. It is due for review again in 2007. In a recent meeting with the CBC, when asked if he will approve this act, Bush claimed he didn’t know anything about the 1965 Voting Rights Act. What I find particularly interesting (other than the bozo in office doesn’t have a clue about anything political or historical) is that during this past campaign cycle there was a lot of rumbling within the Republican party about voting NOT being a RIGHT. Seems his hotdogs had sniffed out the meat and prepared, and forgot to brief him? 

 

Reckon his lost the box on his back, or Karl was napping during this meeting?

 

The Condi puppet was with him at this meeting and said nothing. Absolutely nothing. Guess someone forgot to send her the script.

 

FYI: The 1965 Voting Rights Act guaranteed that African Americans and any other group would not be denied the right to vote, and put in place provisions to ensure that voting rights would not be trampled on by local and state officials.  Guess Florida and Ohio should give us some clue about how Bush really might think on this topic.

 

On the road to Nazism trail – a blacklist was issued to ticket sellers before Bush’s recent North Dakota visit. More than forty people were banned from attending because they oppose his views. Included were liberal reporters, a Democratic campaign manager, and university professors. The White House claims the list didn’t come from them, but we all know how honest they are . . . and that these lists appear everywhere the bozo speaks…

 

Think he wore the box on his back for this speech?

 

The FBI and Secret Service visited a Green Party Official before Bush’s visit to Montana. Apparently, this man included a blurb in his routine stating something along the lines that Bush probably shouldn’t come to Montana because people were so pissed off at his policies. With that as a criterion, I guess about 60% of us should expect visits from the big guys any day huh?

 

I tend to think the exit pollsters should have been more specific in their questions. Did anyone think to ask if those people were looking for GOOD morals? Could be they have shabby morals and want a leader who’s just like them.

lets see, is it about morals.

I saw yesterday how Democrats are opposing the GOP so our 13 year old daughters could get abortions without our consent. Can you believe this?

What does Sinclair have to do with the fact that Democrats want our kids to abort their babies? or with Ted Kennedy Driving a pregnant Mary Jo Kopechnie into Chappaquiddick, or Bill Clinton being acused of sexual abuse by Cathy WIlly, Juanita Broderick, Paula Jones, and many more.

We ahd a previous President who's administration opposed anything Christian, Jewish, Opposed appointing a Black Woman as Secretary of State, had an Attorney General who burned Christian women and children to death in Waco , Texas

Thnak God we have a president who opposes Sadam and amss graves, not a party that ignores mass graves.

We now have a great Christian, Yes, I said Christian President.
He is pro life, opposes partial birth Abortion, has a wife who is a hard working Christian Woman who teaches respect and dignity, and err, she has baked cookies.

We have a president with a focus . Not a party of whiners, who stamp their feet and wanna filibuster the appointmentn of Black and Hispanic women to the Federal Courts. Why does the Democrats elite oppose minorities. Oh, Yeah , the ehad of the Democrats is Robert Byrd. He supported white owned abortion clinics in Blck neighborhoods and also is a former KKK member.

It is about morals!

If morals equals fear - then yes that is what the election was about. Sadly, it will continue until we all wake up and say "lets speak about the issues."

Kerry lost the election because he didn't have the balls to call Bush a coward, to stand firm on his service record and fight!

Well no one asked me and I really do not consider that I have bad morals. But then look at the elected officials for years back and one calls people who voted their conscience immoral. In the century prior more than one person recently elected would never have made it. I went by what I saw in 1968 when I met a certain candidate and my opinion did not change. Personally I would have prefered both parties selected a different candidate. The only one that stood tall was John Edwards after the election. Kerry being himself was the reason he lost and the people spoke. Many of the ones I know are very moral. I know others will disagree but this is my opinion and it will not change. Enough of sleep around candidates poking their fingers at others.

Thanks for the insights, Sandy. His Sergeant Shultz "I know nothing" scenario is getting a bit lame. To add to your thoughts, if major press organizations [such as Sinclair] and individuals [e.g. Mr. Armstrong] are found to be in the pocket of those associated with the American executive administration, then voices such as yours must refuse to be silenced. After all, it is what the United States of America is all about, and we should let those from around the world who visit Authors Den realize that.
