Snook,,,,Voice from Texas
Snook,,,I think its great that someone your age is involving themselves in these issues that face our nation. The apathy in your age group is far to prevelant. However some of your info sounds like talk radio. I actually live in the state of texas and I can tell you that our state is suffering from 4 yrs of bush administration. After his cut in funding,,,our education system is now ranked in bottom 20 states for graduating students. The cost of healthcare in texas is still on the rise even though he passed tort reform,,,,we are still waiting on it. The city of houston is now ranked #1 in air pollution. We have Mr Bush to thank for that as he relaxed the pollution control laws.
Another thing I laugh at,,,,the year 2000, he ran as a uniter not a divider. The country is more partisan then it has ever been before and the same is specially true in texas. As for Kerry being a coward...Where was George W Bush in the Vietnam war? Hmmmm Hiding behind Daddy's purse strings??? We still have not seen any records of his air national guard service but we see John Kerry with 2 silver stars, 3 purple hearts and over a year active in combat in Vietnam. He has been there and seen it and knows what war is and knows it must be used as last alternatives.
Hey,,,just for the record,,,I am not a die hard Democrat but have always looked at both sides and the person that is running. You might benefit from seeing Farenheit/911 as I also do listen to Rush Limbaugh ever once in awhile...

By the way, I am honored to see my name as a direct inquiry for a question on the forum.. Obviously my stirring the pot is working, and inquiring minds are at work!! Fight, and do not settle for less than deserved!! That is why we live in this country, right?? Cause we have the freedom to fight for what we believe in, and the opportunity to make those beliefs a reality!!
Don't worry yourself little lady, after Bush is reelected in 04' he will have plenty of time to get Texas back on track.
First off, the cost of healthcare is on the rise everywhere, not just Texas. This stems from malpractice suits, the greed of Dr's, and pharmacutical companies. Mostly from uncontrolled settlement caps on lawsuits!! Some of these lawsuit settlements won by John Edwards.
Second, air pollution in Houston has been there for years. Texans are pretty stubborn, and haven't had zoning regulations and laws in place for years. Bunch of old Texan oil men, not allowing that to happen, So don't blame that on Bush, knock on some factory doors, or you neighborhood oil refinery!!
As far as Kerry, first purple heart was a scratch, that took a bandaid, and some peroxide. 2nd was questionable, and never got answered or confirmed. 3rd was a piece of scrap metal, more like a splinter stuck in his butt!! How did it get in his butt, you ask?? Well from hideing face down in the Bushes like an ostrich. My dislike for Kerry, has nothing to do with his service, which you are mistaken by the way, he only was accountable for 4 months in combat, not 1 year.. I can respect anyone who fights for our country, I just can not respect someone who can not make up their mind!! Did he not throw these medals away at a anti- war rally?? Then last year said that he was for war?? Which is it?? Can't figure out what the people want to hear right now, so he'll cover both sides?? BS!!
I have stated before, that I am registered as an independent. I DO listen to both sides, and have leaned on the better more honorable character. Kerry/Edwards, are just leeches, and do not deserve to be accountable for our countries funding!!
By the way, as for what you said about education, look at what we have done here in Florida..Jeb Bush, who will be running in 08' has turned our educational sytem around. We had some of the lowest scores in the nation, and with higher standards, and increased testing, scores have climbed..He placed higher mandatory requirements on teachers and students, not without protest from many, but it has worked.. Check the stats..
I am not trying to run for office, or endorse Bush in anyway.. What I am trying to do is open peoples eyes to what is happening around us. We CAN make a difference if we get off our @sses!!
Ignorance and deception is what is killing Americans, and their perception of exceptable reality. I do watch news, and listen to talk radio, Mostly fox news, sometimes CNN, but just stay informed on reality. What you find from just opening your eyes to the enviroment around you, is alot more real, and informing.. This is just my opinion as others have stated, and not the facts, so ponder on them and decide whether or not I'm a loon.Then write a letter to your Senator or Representative!!!
