Yeah so, if I were American, i'd be a Democrat. I'd rather have my balls chopped off than vote Republican. I keep hearing from Republicans, that Democrats would destroy the Economy. Clearly those Republicans aren't aware of just who has been running the American economy into the ground for the past eight years.
I'm not going to get into my Left wing views, but any Party that puts Private Healthcare at extotionate rates above universal healthcare and ignores the fact that they have a real poverty problem, is not worth voting for.
Democratic Senator, Jim Webb, with a distinguished history in the Marines Corps, and a graduate of the U.S Naval Academy (apparently, Americans vote on military record and religious views rather than political ability), first assisant secretary of Defense, during the Reagan Administration. A very distinguished Senator.
Webb's first act in the 110th Senate, was to introduce a Bill that increased benefits for Post-9/11 soldiers. It entitles a full four years State-paid College education for those heroes on the front line. This is a great bill. Given that the Army tends to attempt to recruit those people from the poorest of neighbourhoods first, knowing they want the money the most, and yet, even though these kids are dying for America, are then ignored when they get home by the Republicans in power, in favour of tax cuts for thieves in business suits, then this measure is a god-send. It also offers a monthly living stipend and a $1000 books/supplies stipend.
John McCain disapproved. Here's a man with a military record, state educated, and refers to the heroes in Iraq more often than not, as 'the future'. He's quite happy to spend $600,000,000 to send kids to their death on the basis of a lie, but when it comes to rewarding them for what he's done, he wants no part of it. Typical uncaring, selfish, individualistic Republican then. But hey, as long as he doesn't have a slightly muslim sounding name right?
Obviously, Bush disapproved. It's 'a retention killer' apparently. Which is pretty ignorant given that over 60% of Bush tax cuts, have gone to the top 1% of wealthy business owners in the Country. Those top business men who made over $15,000,000,000 out of the Iraq War (when a government allows war to become a profitable business, there's something not quite right), are clearly struggling through life and need that tax break.......... notice the sarcasm?
I genuinly hope Senator Webb runs for Vice President. It's about time America had people in charge, who aren't solely commited to private enterprise and sucking the dicks of the rich.
I absolutely love this video. God bless Bradley Whitford. This sums up exactly how I feel.
