Alpa Endorses Kerry?

[BeeKeeper]

Kerry

I'm always surprised when people talk about how tough GW is and how he kicks butt. When our country was at war, John Kerry enlisted and fought for his country in combat. The garbage about how injured he was and protesting is all politics. Even if you dont like liberals, thats fine, but the guy put his life on the line when it mattered. That's character, like it or not.

Bush may be tough from the comfort of the White House, but if you had to go into combat, who would you rather have at your side.

I wish there was a way to track the number of terrorists willing to kill Americans. Our goal should be to lower that number to zero. "Kicking butt" in Iraq sure may feel good, but I fear it has only driven that number higher.

Wwld?

WWLD = What would (Frank) Lorenzo Do?

Answer: Vote for Bush. (he is a friend of the Bush family)

Therefore, I vote Kerry...simple.

PS I bet Jonny Orenstein votes Bush too and loves it when his pilots do too.

Why is it that liberals, preaching all their tolerance are
tolerant of everything except someone with backbone
enough to do the right thing. PETA, NOW, ACLU...they
are even more intolerant of conservatives than they
accuse the political right of being toward them.

Lemme see if I understand your argument: you accuse liberals of being more intolerant of conservatives than conservatives are of liberals? Is that like me subjectively accusing you of being subjective?

For the record I have many conservative friends and as long as they respect my opinion I respect theirs. After all, there's very smart people who differ in political views. I really don't understand what you mean by intolerance. Dubya just happens to be far more conservative than any president I can think of. He was voted president by the slimmest of margins which means he does not represent the true majority of American opinion, yet he proceeds as if the whole world's behind him. I don't know who's gonna win in November but I'll wager it won't be a landslide.

I almost guarantee it will be a landslide. About September you will see one candidate pull sharply ahead.

BUSH,
Iraq I do question but then no one questioned/stopped Hitler, Stalin, & Chairman Mao.

I may not totaly agree with GW on every issue but he's in the 90 percentile. On Bush/Kerry military history this country allready proved that that doesn't matter IE Clinton.

Folks, my only request, is that you do your own research on your choice rather than listening to CNN or reading the NY Times.............don't get the facts from the media, because they aren't the facts........go to the gov. web sites for the economic numbers, true numbers with no media influence....do the research.....exercise your right to vote, which is not just listening to CNN and voting how they want you too.........don't waste your freedom to vote by voting per the media...do the research......the media is always the glass is half empty, never half full, they are only going to show you want they want you too see.....remember that........remember that policies that are put in place, take time to take place.........they dont' happen over night, whether or not most people in the US expect things to happen over night...

No, but I have a profound respect for those that have served. Anyone else go to the WWII dedication this weekend. Intense stuff.

This is not a partisan issue to me. I voted for Dole, McCain (in the primary) and will vote for Kerry. I agree with the guy who said it mil service doesnt affect elections. I can't understand why.

If people disagree with Kerry's politics, thats fine. But the guy is entitled to a certain amount of respect for enlisting and putting himself in combat. He could have avoided service. Making the case that al queda would vote for Kerry is disrespectful.

Remember when Bush Sr was VP, and people called him a wimp. One cover of Newsweek was entitled "Wimp Factor." That obviously turned out not to be true. I'm willing to bet that the image many portray about Kerry isnt true either.

 

[shooter13]

double standard alert!!!

I am not a Bush Hupporter at all. i think he had a chance to do great things but has thus far failed. He had a Republican house and senate and yet we still have out of control spending and no decent social security reform. I will be voting for Badnarik, the LP candidate.

It was just posted that saying AL-Queda would vote for Kerry is disrespectful.

A few posts back someone posted that Frank Lorenzo would vote for Bush.

It is the same argument.

Bush...

Strong personal ethics. He knows what's right and then does it. He doesn't care what the French and Germans think. If today was 9/12/01, we'd all be suppoting him for what he's done. On the domestic side, he's done more for democrat policies than any democrat, yet they still complain. The economy is coming back from the recession and the effects of the 9/11/ attack. IMHO, he's done a good job despite the best efforts of terrorists and democrat zealots.

I would consider voting for Joe Lieberman, but would probably stick with Bush.

 

[DenverDude2002]

Bush.....

He gave a great speech at the UFAFA Graduation today, anyone else see/hear it?

KERRY



Although I will not vote for Kerry, I have no problem with ALPA endorsing him on the grounds of a single issue - - LABOR.


ALPA IS, after all, a LABOR UNION, and I am, after all, an hourly wage earner.
