<<< Environment:
George W. Bush -- Believes environmental standards must be based on sound science, solutions based on market driven technologies >>
Talk about your "Politico" double speak. >
Sounds like common sense to me. Deciding if it really is in our best interest to protect the rarest form of say for example, rodent, in the world or keep several thousand people employed, or put enough food on the market to feed thaousands.
<<< Evolution:
George W. Bush -- Believes both evolution and creationism are valid educational subjects... >>
Pandering to the Lunatic Fringe called the Religious Right. What a puppet>
That isnt pandering. Neither side can conclusively prove which is correct. I would prefer that the local school districts decide, based upon the will of the parents sending kids to that school.
<Q]Homosexual issues:
George W. Bush -- Bush opposes the extension of hate crime laws to protect gays and homosexual adoption. >>
What the hell does Hate Crime Laws have to do with Homosexual adoption? aside from the stupidity about the adoption, why shouldn't Homo's be protected under the Hate Crime Laws?>
First, the answer was orney's. He put two of Bush's positions as an answer to one question, dont blame Bush for that.
Second, IMHO, using more legislation to accentuate the difference between people, divides people against each other. Plain and simple, you should get the same punishment under the law, no matter who you murder. It's stupid to think that a person will think "well he's gay, and there is law against murdering him, so I'll go murder somebody that isnt gay".
Clearly opposition to homosexual adoption is a religious issue, based purely on fear and personal beliefs.
<<< Moral issues:
George W. Bush -- Proposed spending at least as much on abstinence education as on teen contraception programs. >>
And you accuse the Democrats or frivilously spending money? Again Bush pandering to the out of touch Lunatic Fringe called the Religious right.>
This looks to be a good idea, that in practice may mean squat. But surely you can see that not having sex will prevent STD's from spreading as well as teen pregnancies. In the end this could be money very well spent.
<<< Gun control:
Yada Yada >>
A real uninmportant issue at best!!>
Keep that thought....
<<< Tax policy:George W. Bush -- "Read my lips,This is not only no new taxes, this is tax cuts, so help me God..." >>
America's the one that's going to meed God's help if this Moron is elected.>
If you think you are actually smarter than Bush, that's one thing. I for one would like to see you prove it. Run for Govenor and do better than he did. Run a baseball team, even a bad one better than he does. Run for president and do better he does. Put up or shut up. I dont like Gore, and I think he does have a problem will getting into lies that he doesnt have to, but I wont ever believe his a moron.
<More Bulls!t. The politics of Greed. Offer the Voters money in the form of tax cuts.>
As opposed to scaring them into thinking they will lose the money the fed gives them, or losing medicare, thats the politics of terror. The dems play the politics of greed just as well by promising more Social programs, and freebies.
And since you forgot again, a tax cut is not giving me money back, it's actually not taking it from in the first place. I'm never going to get money back that I already paid them, they spent it, the tax cut means i will pay less taxes in the future.
<Man, and I thought Gore was a lying sack of sh!t.>
On this one, you are correct.
<This just goes to show that Both major political candidates are typical lying out their ass bought and paid for Politicians. You sheep that are all excited over little Ornery's post are blind.>
Right, then do something about it. Not voting is the wrong thing. You cant influence either party by not voting. Get involved in politics and force a change. You have much more leverage by joining a party and then telling the candidate, "see it my way or I vote for somebody else.".
The parties see that as worst case, you are not just refusing to vote for them, but are voting for the other. In turn each party sees the value in that vote. One side can take a vote away from the other and gain one for themselves. If you say that you wont vote for either or any party, then they really dont care what you think. All the parties care about is getting enough votes to win, and that means if that just 1 person voted in the presidential election, that one person is all they would care about, why make promises to make people that wont vote?
All I do the bitching on AT wont influence the Republican party stand on any issue as much as my telling the local campign guy, "hey look, I dont agree with the party stand on issue X, i'm going to vote for the guy." . When he hears that, he hears a two vote swing, enough voters say that, they change their position. In contrast if I was to say, "hey I never vote, I'm not voting now either cause I dont like either party.", he isnt going to care because it isnt a vote that is lost or cast for the other guy.
