yea i understand taht about the fact that it was a bush rally, i mean it could have been a kerry rally or even nader rally. i firgured was i was trying to say after i posted it, which is that, money SERIOUSLY needs to go to education. lots and lots of schools are lacking it. now you might be saying, how do these connect, i think personally that we need to get educated on what type of people are living in this country. its just that some politics are so damn concerend about the stupidist minor things ever that we are spendign bullshit money on, rather than spending that money on proper education for your children. get educated on whats going on in your country. i used to be the type of person that didnt care for this crap, but man, without proper education, what else do you have. this counrty is about freedom right, some people have NO CLUE how much they want to be here, yet at the same time we are fighting them and making life harder for people we dont even have any clue about.

agian my post dont make sence.

i wanted to educate these guys, but apparently one of those guys in the group that huddled thought i was going to do something wrong, so he got the police on me. its normal to be looked at, but its degrading to be picked out by a cop at your school trying to get education.

..and now you're saying again that we've done a half assed job of preparing our troops.



so if we spend more money to prepare the troops and provide them with the supplies they need...you'll bitch

if we dont spend more money to prepare our troops and provide them with the supplies they need, but rather spend it towards education back home here...you'll bitch.

:thinking:

True John Kerry supporter.
why's it always so black n white with most of you "patriots". its pretty simple to understand what he meant, if it wasn't for the mistake of rushing into war with iraq, than we could've used the money for something more beneficial to us. but now that we are unfortunately in combat, shouldn't we give it our all and not do it half assed by not providing our troops with proper armor and their vehicles to be less shielded. did you also know that reservists had a far less chance of receiving body armor when they are in combat, simply because the administration thinks theyre probably not as important. ridiculous. and of course kerry is pointing out what he thought are mistakes the bush administration made, and if you missed it, he kept saying that he would be sure that he would have the world's approval and support before rushing out to a war that is now proving to be a mistake.

and for the record, this debate was about foreign affairs/homeland security, thats why you didn't hear about "the issues that mattered to you".

its FAR from black and white with me...thus the fact that i dont even know who im going to vote for. The way he worded it was contradicting to me..so i pointed it out. I'm sure im not the only one who saw that either.

and thank you for pointing out what the debate was about this evening, as its already been brought to my attention in this thread.

just like i missed a few things that kerry and bush both have said..you must have missed the point that i made when i said that i'm new to this. im just starting to pay attention and learn this whole politics thing..so i apologize for whatever inconvience and confusion i may have caused you.

i'm leaning towards Kerry...so I wont. I just don't like some of the things he's said and done..but I do like what he says he'll do. I just hope he actually follows through.

WTF, that sort of stuff boils my blood, if we weren't ready to go to war why the f*** did we go for? .

WTF, that sort of stuff boils my blood, if we weren't ready to go to war why the f*** did we go for? Senator Kerry pointed out that there was never an exit strategy for Iraq and even President Bush didn't answer that question straight in the debate. I know I wrote alot but this President I stronly feel is driving to this country's destruction.

OMG that has got to be the funniest thing I have ever heard. Kerry was the moron who voted against the $87 million to pay for body armor and other protection for the troops. h:

He votes against it and complains that we sent them there without it. Who would have guessed it, another flip flop by Kerry

So you are going to vote for the guy who voted to send our troops to war and then voted to send them without body armor. And you are going to blame Bush for it. Wow you really are blindly supporting Kerry. Maybe you should look into the issues more since by your comments you are looking for support of certain things yet voting for someone who has acted the exact way in which you don't want.
