For those of you who are thinking of voting for Kerry...........

[furlough-boy]

.But don't sit there and judge The President for doing his job!! That would be standing tall and protecting our FREEDOM!!

That's the job of the concerned citizen/voter, to judge how well the president has done, and this president has failed on almost all accounts. Invading a country that had nothing to do with 9-11 hasn't made us more free. It's opened up a hornet's nest of problems that the administration failed to plan for. We're already in it more than 100 billion dollars and we're just getting started. Not to mention the 1000+ brave soldiers gone because of this presidents hard-on to get S. H. He took the focus off of Osama (Remember him? who attacked us?) to go on a wild goose chase for WMDs that never existed. Now he can't even admit he was wrong.

I believe we had a Pres. like that before..."Slick Willey!" Yeah, that would be GREAT!!! NOT!!!

Perhaps your memory is selective, but things were pretty good under Slick Willy. Jobs, budget surpluses, Economic growth........ Remember those?

YOu wusses... you drank the koolaid.


You vote for Bush because he screwed the people at United on the government loans..

Why does United deserve a loan?

 

[Corona]

Yeah, vote for Bush: After all, we've already busted many Al-Quaida terrorists cleverly disguised as certificated U.S. pilots, flying through the short-notice, floating TFRs around him and Dick.
W's also stood up so much for the rule of law: Allowing states and punk municipalities to pass and enforce laws on aircraft operation, pre-empting federal authority over our airspace. Go State's Rights!
Vote for Bush: He's incompetent, but at least he ain't a skirt-chaser!

 

[FDJ2]

Why does United deserve a loan?

Why did Frontier, AWA, ATA, World etc.?

I think the problem is that pilots fancy themselves as members of the upper-class, but won't admit that we're blue-collar workers who owe the advances we've made to organized labor. I see pilots that blindly cheer the tax cuts while 80% of the benefit goes to people in tax brackets that don't include pilots (Except you Delta guys ) I'm all for smaller government, but Bush hasn't delivered. Meanwhile he's running up half a trillion dollars a year in new debt. I'd vote for a well trained monkey over Bush, but absent that choice I've got to go with Kerry.

This post makes the most sense to me...

And the perpetual devastation of our lifestyle and well-being continues.

...perhaps our collective group will wake up from the stupor someday.

I'm voting for Kerry.

 

[100LL... Again!]

Anyone who knows anything about labor unions knows that many of their more radical members are more than capable of terrorist-like attitudes.

A friend of mine once made the mistake of seeming less-than-convinced about how valuable the union was.

Shoulda seen his car afterwards.

Unions are a necessary evil. Very necessary, and often enough evil.

 

[broken spoke]

Great.

I love it. "Vote for Kerry." "Our economy was great before Bush." It is a proven fact that the economy went south soon after that pervert Clinton soon left office. We are paying the price of his carelessness and the downing of the twin towers. You cannot, being as intelligent as you are, blame all of this on Bush. You will of course because you are a Dem. Open your mind and look at the reallity of the situation. Clinton rode on the greatness of Reagan. Fact.

I am voting for Bush.

 

[Corona]

Ah, yes, the "blame Clinton" method of national leadership. Here it is, nearly four years after Clinton left office, and they're still blaming him. Last time I checked, "W" was president on 9/11. He has not taken responsibility for that or anything else that has happened on his watch. This includes the frightful mess he's made in Iraq. Clinton did not blame Bush 1 for the first WTC attack, nor for Waco, nor the Oklahoma bombing.For the record, Clinton took office after the first Bush, not Reagan. He inherited a recovering recession and was fortunate to have eight years of economic growth. Many of the right-wing spin-meisters would have you believe it was the Republican Congress that did the magic; but they are the same ones in charge today. If they get the credit, they also get the blame.

Ahh Yes, Clinton was responsible for 9/11. I love that one. Also, we're not giving him any credit for the greatest economy in American history either, right?

NON-MILITARY Discretionary Spending up 31% in 3 years under Bush.

At this point in Clinton's first term it was down .7%.

I am NOT blaming Clinton because I think the American economy has a tendency to cycle regardless of who is in the White House or Congress, but to set the record straight, the NASDAQ reached its peak in March of 2000 and then began to slide - a full 9 months before Bush II took office.

Also, the al-queda terrorists came into this country years before Bush II took office. Once again, NOT a fault of Clinton - that was a well-rehearsed commando operation and nobody was looking at a terrorist threat of that nature and scope.

 

[46Driver]

Why did Frontier, AWA, ATA, World etc.?

They seemed to have temporary problems due to 9/11. UAL's problems, like USAir's, are much deeper. After all, they have been allowed to stay in bankruptcy for what, 22 months?

Contrary to popular belief, it does matter if a POTUS (or any leader) is a skirt chaser. If you crap on the people close to you then everyone else is fair game. It was sadly comical to see department heads and other politicians go out in public stating they "believe our President". It wasn't like the guy just had one incident either. Guess he just couldn't resist Monica's, et.al. beauty and charm.

I'm no Bush fan, but compared to Kerry he's the best looking one from an ugly family.

Actually, the economy was pretty anemic under Clinton until the Republican's took over both houses during his tenure. It was not until after that that it really started to take off, and it did start to head back down before he left office. His policy failures led us to 9/11 as well. Would also like to point out that at the time we went into Iraq, Kerry supported it. If Kerry had been in office at the time, we would be in Iraq now also.

Easy to point fingers at the guy in the hot seat, but the reality is that anyone in that job, yes, even Clinton, is doing the best they can with what they have to work with, and second guessing crisis decisions they make is like doing the same to the Captain after an accident. The policy failures come more from who they choose to surround themselves with. Clinton surrounded himself with dingbats to make himself look good, and that led to some poor policies.

Better in Iraq than here in the US.

Broken Spoke....Amen Brother!!!

Bigtex...you said it!!

And if you recall, we had Bin Ladden in custody under "Slick Willey," but like all other "leftist Wacko's," he let him go so that he would continue to look good! Democrats have never had the Ball$ to do anything, they would rather sit back and watch it all happen and then blame someone else!! You know, like the Clintons and their "Whitewater thing-a-ma-jig!!" Must have been in a conference with Monica....

Kerry is still trying to figure out which pencil he AGREED to use to vote...But he is still not sure...#2 or ball point...oh wait, that is a pen...hahaha...this feels like when I think I vote in the Senate...Oh yea, I'm NEVER THERE!!!!

 

[VMA214]

I'd vote for a well trained monkey...I've got to go with Kerry.

Looks like you'll get your wish...

To Embreairjetpilot,

I find it interesting that you are using the word, "children" when you refer to the war. I can assure you that 100% of the US military are volunteer MEN and WOMEN...not children, the word you use to polticize. NO CHILDREN were forced into fighting, unlike our enemy who strapes TNT vests to 14 year old girls.

Senator Kerry has fully endorsed partial-birth abortion at every opportunity. THE US has killed over 40,000,000 babies since 1971. Now they are CHILDREN and they did not volunteer. I bet if they could vote on whether they should be aborted: 100 times out of 100 they would choose life. But wait a minute...you say that it is not life yet. That is ironic, I heard a 31 year-old woman speak on the radio who was aborted (she now speaks for Focus on The Family) back in 1972. The nurse at the abortion center could not watch another baby be born alive, and then do nothing about it, so she rushed her to the hospital. She is now 33.

I am honestly not concerned whether we airline pilots make $300 per hour. I have had many good jobs in the military and civilian world and would trade them all in favor of a nation that elects a leader who has respect for life. I can say without any reservation that our President respects life. My absentee ballot was cast for President Bush.

Thank You,
Mick

p.s. If you plan to make personal attacks and name-calling, the debate ends here.

 

[Double Shot]

My vote cancels one Kerry vote!

Better in Iraq than here in the US.

Do you actually believe that crap? Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11. They got rid of the WMD's when the U.N. told them to after the 1991 gulf war. Saddam was a bad guy, but he was contained and no threat to the U.S. The president sold us a load of BS about the imminent threat. Now we've just polarized another 20 million Arabs to hate the U.S. for the rest of their lives.
