Unfortunately for Americans, President Bush, McCain and the Republicans prefer to speak in half-truths and/or distortions of the truth, preferring not to find pertinent answers or solutions to the issues facing us today, one example the Real Threat of Global Warming!  They think finger-pointing and speaking in a loud voice will deflect the attention away from their failing/failed policies -- that we will forget that they fooled us before (Iraq War).  

The Republicans will promise and say anything to stay in power, although their conservative polcies do noting to help the American people in their day-to-day lives.   Gas prices are higher than ever before, as is food (they won't even support the farmers although food is a necessary element for life), we have erroding schools, bridges and roads, jobs which go overseas or job closings, billions of dollars going to a war which should have never been waged and those dollars do nothing to help the Iraqi people who are still suffering and have very little electricity, adequate sewer facilities or the use of their own oil.  We have record number of home foreclosures, medical bills which are going through the roof and thousands of people who have no health insurance at all.  

Every year Democratic Senators and Congressman have to fight to even get a decent minimum wage raise for American workers while Republicans continually give theirselves an annual wage hike, yet it is the American people who hire them to work for them and not the corporations they bail out time and time again.  They pretend to be the Party of Family Values when they are really the party of special interest groups, corporations and greed!  They care nothing for suffering families -- college tuition has never been so high, barring thousands of young people from attaining a higher education and achieving the American dream.  Their tax code, again, benefits the wealthy and leaves out the American family.  They call themselves conservatives which is a nice way of saying they are selfish and like to conserve the wealth for themselves!  They make fun of the word "liberalism" like it is a dirty word when we all know liberal means to give amply and generously, something they want not to happen preferring to keep all the wealth and goodtimes for themselves and their corporate buddies.  

They devise wars which only weaken the fabric of our society by shell-shocked veterans weakened physically and mentally and children who have to grow up without their fathers or mothers because they are either overseas fighting a war or have died in a war when diplomacy would have been the greater action to take.  These same veterans if they are lucky to come home have deplorable hospitals to come home to and a battle to get their benefits.  If they suffer from mental disease they are often found homeless, as we have shut down the majority of our mental hospitals accross the United States... and yet Republicans continue to fool us that they are the Party of Family Values.  They fooled us with WMD's and took us off on a path of delusion by fighting terrorism in Iraq when it was oil they were after!  Bin Laden is still at large.  We cannot believe anything they say... Let us not be fooled again, because frankly we cannot afford it!
