As an impartial voter, I have to say that you both do make strong arguements. Voice, nice expression but I don't think you should try to influence others by telling them to vote for The Democratic party, just my opinion.
One thing that I think is a major flaw with conservatives is that they are very anti welfare, which is in a way ironic. Welfare programs give money to people that need it, and they in turn GIVE the money back to society. The economy these days is dependent upon welfare to keep cashflow. A "cracked out whore thats poppin babies" also has to buy gas (if she indeed has a car)groceries, housing, and clothes. They spend this money and put it back into the economy. Who are we, as people, to claim that these people are lower than the general public? They're so useless to society? The ego of the repulican party is its biggest sometimes just embarrasing. We have money, lets keep our money, lets make more money.
Alright, another point. September 11th was hardcore. Emotionaly devestating, this horrific event caused the economy to go into a recession. This caused people to lose jobs. So a family is out on the street cause of some radical activists and are in desperate need of help. This is just an example of how welfare works and is indeed a neccesity. Our economy was in a recession; so officials lets pull all of the public service money and put it towards a war. If this recession had lasted longer or got worse, it could cause a large depression, having horrible long term effects. "Here comes another Great Depression, lets eliminate welfare and not help the unlucky. "
My point is that anyone can catch an unlucky break. The entire country did, and it took a war (WWII) to bring it out of it. Sound familiar? The recession experienced recently was the largest drop ever recorded, including the stock market crash that triggered the GD.
One spectacular thing about our contry is the WIC program. Single mothers/fathers get food money (not crack money) or stamps to feed their kids. Lets take that away, so every woman that has a kid without a Father should just be condemned to death by starvation. Well, I guess this would limit the numbers and increase the wealth of the higher social classes. People are down on their luck, so that means they're low and should be looked down upon as horrible people. Society kills these weak links; the process is called survival of the fittest. Man moden Darwinism is great.
(Rant over) Believe it or not, I'm not a Democrat. I just hate when people bash the welfare program. I'm all for the war. I like what Bush has done, but keep everything in perspective. Government is for the public. "Of the people, By the people, For the people". Vote for who you want, because that's why this country is great.
