Wow, this thread has reached many aspects of the political divide in this country. I have not written anything in this post for a while, so I thought that I would give some comment on a bumper sticker that I saw this weekend.
It was one of the bumper stickers with the little guy peeing on "W. Bush". I was outraged!!! I understand, and have no problem with folks not agreeing with the politics and all. But to say "Piss on our President", thems fightin' words. It's not just that it's George W., it is the office and the position that gets me fired up.
Whether you support and agree with him or not, we are all stuck with him for the next four years. Do Not, I repeat, do not hold these grudges for the remainder if his term. It will end up just eating you up inside. The man has a job to do, and he wants to do what will benefit our country. Why would you want to act like a sore loser for the next four years, there is just nothing to gain from it.
If the results of the next four years are not positive, we can all vote for a Democrat next time around. But, I would really like to see this country pull together and get this country back on track. I was talking to some liberal friends over the weekend. I think that there were six of us sitting around (several union guys). They were complaining that the economy and jobs were their main objection to Bush. So, my question was, "how many people do you know who are out of work right now, of those who want to work?". Not a single person knew anyone who is out of work at this moment. My next question was, "which of you is making less money today, than you were 4 or 5 years ago?". The answer was only 1 guy, and that is because he lost his local truck driving job due to DWI's. Anyhow, I think that I got these guys to understand that life isn't so bad right now.
