Anyone Watching Hannity and Colmes?

[WA_Vol]

1. He has done nothing with regard to illegal immigration. He just played his part in that dog and pony show until the media circus went away.
2. Again, he has done nothing with social security, unfortunately. God forbid Americans are actually given control and responsibility over their own money...That sounds a little too much like capitalism to fly these days.
3. Did Bush run on alternative energy policy in 2000? 2004? Nope. He has made public mention of it being a priority once...his 2006 State of the Union Address.
4. Concerning the National Debt, GWB has always believed in using leverage to grow the GDP. Our GDP has grown by leaps and bounds under GWB. The National Debt has grown retardedly compared to the GDP over Bush's terms.
5. Bush campaigned on expanding the Medicare and Medicaid package. He did that.

Just because Bush has done things that you do not like nor agree with does not mean that he has done things he did not campaign to do.

In the debates with Kerry he specifically mentioned he planned to address each of those issues. The republicans have had control of the house and senate for the last 8 years. what have they done to address or change any of that?? most of the issues are becoming crisis levels. last election i voted for the republicans in every single race, but i am so disgusted right now with their lack of action when they have control that I am ready for a different party. the last 4 years things have not been addressed.

no way it was worth the cost. imagine what those bilions upon billions of dollars would have done for this country if they would have been spent here instead?? we could have built plants to run the country off of ethanol for that money.

Hooray state sponsored business....

Bush has done nothng to address the 5 biggest concerns of americans and instead gave us a war the majority didn't want and which our kids and our childrens kids will still be paying for.

He has done nothing to address: illegal immigration-its is out of control, social security-bankrupt in 15 years without changes, oil prices-out of control, national debt-worse under Bush then any other president, health insurance-costs are out of control.

They could have invested in private companies to create plants to produce ethanol and to grow crops to produce ethanol, instead of investing in Iraq. What have the Iraqis ever done for this country that we want to invest billions in their country??? Iraq will probably end up allying with Iran and becoming our enemy, that is if they dont erupt in civil war first.

You know what I find both amusing and frustrating. The Republicans ran that ridiculous commercial about how gas prices would sky rocket under John Kerry, they used old black and white slapstick movie footage with warnings about how Kerry's policies would make the gas pump meter rise! That was in 2004, how much was gas then and how much is it now? Yeah, way to go, lets vote for two oil men and then b*tch when the gas prices go up!

Here's an idea, vote for the candidate not the party. Not every Repub/Demo is towing the party line. Make an independent decision.

The sooner social security is bankrupt, the better. People should not rely on the federal gov't for a pension plan. The only way it would have been saved was by giving control back to the people. The Dems absolutely rejected the idea.

Oil prices are actually where they should have been all along, due to inflation. The fact that we were getting bargains on gasoline in the 90's is what skews your perception of this.

Insurance costs are out of control. The only way to bring them down to more reasonable levels is to put an end to frivolous lawsuits...that our pass legislation in which you can waive your right to file suit against the doctor who is about to work on you (which is my personal favorite.)

Illegal immigration is not out of control. I would rather have 10 million undocumented workers crossing the border and happily working jobs for $2.50/hr than give a job to some unionist who demands $10/hr starting and a $.75 annual raise, plus full benefits. I guess that is because I enjoy cheaper prices and a high standard of living.

I thought they were the best candidate, thats why I voted for them. Isn't that fairly obvious? I've voted for numerous democrats in the past, just not in the last election.

I guess being financially wise and responsible makes one a Republican? You should probably read through a few more of my posts before labeling me as someone who tows the party line.

There you go with your gas prices again. Capitalism is a real bummer for someone like you.

Disagree with that. If it is not out of control now, at what point would you consider it out of control? Mexico could have sent half their military into the country by now and we would not know it.
