Australian Elections

Unless you are a poor Afghani who has spent a month on a boat without food in an effort to live your right wing capitalist dream, Suny.
 
Howard - ah yes lovely bloke - the one who told the false stories about asylum seekers throwing their kids into the sea

In fact , just another example in my book of " it's the economy stupid " winning an election for a Govt - incumbents seldom are thrown out when people feel money in their pocket
 
I dearly hope that you are right about the economy being the governing factor as far as the US elections are concerned - but I fear not
 
Bush has done well hasnt he - the first in 72 years to preside over a loss of jobs and turning the Clinton budget surplus into a massive deficit .
 
If I were so antiBush as some presume I would be preparing me for another 4 years of him being the president of USA.
 
suny, like many Americans you are viewing George W Bush solely from the viewpoint of his invasion of Iraq. You - as does everyone else on here - know that I disagree with you over Iraq but let's for the moment forget all about it.

The economy of the USA has an effect on everyone in the world in one way or another. The damage that the Bush administration has wrought to the US economy is unbelievable. There were 200 years between the election of George Washington and the departure from the presidency of Ronald Reagan. In that time the USA had 40 presidents. If we take the total increase in debt of the USA for that entire period it is less than the increase in debt created by the Bush administration in 45 months!

Apart of the Iraq affair ,I would say you that I dont like Bush,I think his economic politic is bad but I still think he is better than Kerry :rolleyes:
 
Bush's defence policy, economic policy, health and social security policy and environmental policy are all decided by what will benefit the large corporations from whom he will receive backing and the richest 5% of the US population.

For sure I am against Bush.
