Dem. Candidates for president

(1/3) > >>

Trauma-san:
Am I the only one who notices these people don't stand for anything?  The only argument they make, or case they present to the American People for why they should be elected, is that they disagree with George Bush.  Well; since more than 50% of the American AGREE with George Bush, and with the economy growing strongly those numbers are sure to increase; why do they think it's a good idea to attack him?  LOL sounds kind of stupid to me.

What I would suggest (this is just my intellect talking) is that they actually come up with some plans, and ideas, so they can present them.  So far, nobody has said 1 thing about why they should be president!  All they're saying is George Bush SHOULDN'T be president.  Why would I pick Lieberman over Kerry, for instance?  They don't have any plans that they are presenting, they're just saying Bush is a fuckup.  O.K., he's a fuckup... how are you any better?  


I mean, to me, it's 101.  If you're going to beat somebody at anything, you have to be better than them.  How are they any better? They won't present any ideas of plans they have.  They so far have said they would do 2 things if elected...


1. Leave Iraq.

Well; that's great, but it's a little too late, isn't it?  Leave Iraq, and just say fuck you to all the Iraqi citizens?  Since the war's already pretty much over, what would that accomplish?  Whether or not you disagree or agreed with the war, we should all agree that we at least have to stick around and rebuild the place.  How any of them can argue that we should leave Iraq is beyond me.  

2. They'll rescend Bush's tax cuts

O.K., so let me get this straight.  Bush's tax cuts were across the board, for every american, rich, poor, hell, he even gave refund checks to people that DIDN'T PAY taxes... and you think you're going to get elected by saying you'll immediately revoke them? LOL what the fuck are they smoking?  Who in the hell would vote for a tax raise?  They not only want to raise taxes, they want to TAKE BACK money that was already refunded to you!

I'm just clueless on this one.  It's like watching a circus; they have no ideas of their own, their only 2 ideas are to do the opposite of what Bush choose to do.  At least Bush, whether you agree or not, had some fucking initiative.  At least he had ideas.  When election time rolls around, Bush can honestly say this: I have 2 roles as President.  1. Protect the united states.  2. Protect the united states economy.  I have tried to do both.  


What will they have to say to that?  "Oh, lets leave Iraq" or "Lets charge the American people more money"

HOW will that get anybody elected?  They need to think of how they would do things BETTER than Bush, if they want to get elected.  This is 101, I can't believe they don't know this.

Dean in 2004 8)

Trauma-san:
Why?  What has he offered you as a citizen?  

UnstoppableForce:
Getting rid of Bush. It's the best argument any candidate could make. :D
On a serious note though, I actually agree with most of Kucinich's ideas, but voting for him would be a waste because due to his lack of charisma and ultra-liberal stance, he'd have no chance. Dean has a better chance of winning, and is my 2nd favorite so I'd vote for him.

UnstoppableForce:
Bush has given my parents a couple hundred bucks, and thanks to him we have the Patriot Act.
Trauma, what is your honest opinion on the Patriot Act, all bullshit and jokes laid aside.
