‘Actus: It is true that the SSI-dependent elderly have been freightened into believing that any privatisation will mean the end of their modest means, but the fact remains that that sytem will be in HEAP BIG trouble not too far down the road.’

Not really.

I shook the President’s hand after his speech today in Lakeland. Not a fast “keep it moving” high five either, but a genuine eye contact friendly gesture of respect from a supporter of our CINC to the next greatest President of the United States of America.

He looked me in the eye after I called out “MR. PRESIDENT” and he stepped right towards me and said “Thank you!”

It was AWESOME!!!! The man is for real.

Even though the Gators lost…again, it was a great day.

4 MORE YEARS FOR GEORGE W. BUSH!!!!

Poor John Kerry:
He throws away someone else’s medals.
He drives someone else’s SUV.
He marries someone else’s wife.
And he inherits someone else’s money.

I think we should all vote for him to be president
of someone else’s country.

Albert Einstein once said, “God does not play dice with the universe”, but sKerry appears to have bet his whole lot on this election. Heard the latest from Ms sKerry? She thinks Laura has never had a real job. Go figure!

For the young (30-49) currently in their most productive years, they will have to pay the bulk of the burden for the next oldest cohort, and will have nothing to show for it. The current system is double-mortgaging our and our childrens future.

Rob: I look at it a little bit differently, apart from the ’spur the economy’ vs. ‘running deficits’ debate. It is good in itself for people to keep the fruits of their labor; therefore the tax relief, even Bush’s modest one, is good. I still say an entire re-think of how our National government collects revenue is what is needed.

Andy: “That ain’t much of what a few years of discipline will won’t fix” [also] “the key to our robustness is education, education, education”

All true, but we are becoming an ever more UNdisciplined society, as well as an un-educated one, despite more and more money coming into the government school system. REAL discipline and TRUE education is the key.

“These are the acts of a desparate people.”

I think people quite desperately don’t want social security privatized.

“Secret Draft”, “Repeal of Social Security”, “Flu Vaccine indifference”, Pro-Kerry Union goon squads at GOP election headquarters (see Florida), Jesse “Moral Indignation for hire” Jackson insinuating vote suppression with evidence as credible as those who’ve been abducted by aliens, etc. etc. etc.

These are the acts of a desparate people. And when people get desparate, they do strange and dangerous things…..

Be safe everyone, please.

On a lighter topic- Ray C., brilliant work on the “how history will remember them” stuff……

Kerry’s campaign is turning uglier and ever more negative, and I didn’t need Brooks to tell me that. That is the sign of a loser. Scaremongering never comes from the winning side, and worse, even (God help us), if Kerry wins, it is no way to start a gov’t. The best indicators of what is happening is where the candidates are going, and how the audiences are picking it up. Remember Truman ‘48, who “didn’t have a chance”. But he sure had the crowds, and in the end, made history.

Rob: “We have a huge deficit and Bush cannot think of a single mistake he made.”

Any candidate running for office is not going to admit any mistakes. His opponent knows it would be in the morning headlines. Candidates like Bush are not politically stupid.
This is a non-issue. Think of something else.

La Shawn,

Yesterday, I finally let it out after careful thought and talking to Catholics, reading their sites and found the Bishop is/has filed a class action suit against Kerry.

There is a great book I surely wish would get read by people that want to know more. This author did a tremendous job and did it thougoughly. The book is, Shadow War by, Richard Miniter.

If President George Bush tells everyone exactly who we have surrounding the radicals in Iran where some serious things are going on he would hurt the very men that are camped around in secret places and yes this does mean Bin Laden.

I have a son LaShawn and I do not get to talk to him to often. He is giving his whole being into his job, carries a gun and has a badge. He loves me dearly and when I got robbed while I was at a doctor appointment upon coming home I was terribly distraught. I thought to myself, should I call my son, should I not, would this hurt him knowing Mom had just lost some personal possessions I was going to give my daughter, my son’s wife? I had visited my son’s wife and I was wearing some beautiful gold jewelry and she had no idea when I asked her what she liked she said, your taste is like mine. I had things from my grandmother that served in Okinawa and went there when she became a widow as this country needed secretaries in China and the orient. She had no choice but to leave her daughter, my Mother with relatives during WWII. She started as a secretary and workded her way up to a high security assistant position and worked with General Westmoreland and Hightower. She saved her money an invested wisely and even bought jewelry in case there could be a severe market drop, she was a millionaire by the 60’s and was brilliant.

When I was robbed, I wanted to call my son and had to consider how it might bother him. I called he was somewhere in this country and he sent a band of brothers and special investigators and police to dust my home.

What do people need to know what are men and women doing at any given moment, what do people need to know in such detail that Our President keeps to himself knowing Kerry and the democrats would sell my son out, other Mother’s sons out here protecting us 24/7, while Moms and Dad’s can put there children in to bed at night and read them a story and bend down and say a precious prayer to Jesus.

Why must during this war we need to tell everything to the American public just to scare a Mother like me and thousands of Mother’s that sometimes like tonight I can not sleep because a son of mine can’t call me when he would like to.

President Bush may lose this election because he can’t tell all the nitty gritty like the mind set of Jerry Springer fans, why do the democrats want a Springer update? Why?

I wish my son could put down his badge and come home and go to work for some fine corporation where he could earn alsmot double because of his good sound judgement and sell stocks for a living? Our men and women love their jobs and get so much satisfaction honey, they really do.

Thanks for listening and today in my son’s blog I called Kerry a Jacka**.
