Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

Wrong again, borrowed, not spent.

This has to be one of my favorite post's so far. You are seriously trying to say he is wrong. What does the government do when it borrows money? It spends it. These petty arguements are getting a little old.

I'm having a hard enough time correcting all of your mistakes. Just because you blurt out inane thoughts, it doesn't make them actually true.

Now, if you have anything to say that you can actually back up with some facts, I'm all ears.

Why would anyone borrow money if they aren't meaning to spend it? After all, every time you borrow money, unless you borrow it from the Social Security fund, you will have to pay interest. So therefore borrowing money only to pay it back with interest, and not doing anything with the money borrowed is stupid.
Congress borrows millions from China or other countries to keep our economy going and to fund the Iraq occupation. Congress isn't going to pay it back. American Tax payers will. And to top it off, it was borrowed without Americans endorsement. Just another instance of the government doing things on their own, without America having a say-so.
And their approval ratings keep sinking.

Go Ron Paul.

The electorial college vote aint democracy.. Its smoke and mirrors..
Do you really think Bush deserved office, i dont.. If you need to bet on something go with majority..
Do you think Bush would have had a chance to be president if it wasnt for hanging on his dads shirt tails? I dont...
And now this, if his brother wasnt Gov of FL. Woud this have happened, this reaches out deep..
When the John Kerry election came up, i didnt vote.. I stated to my friends that bush needs to finish what he started, but what did burn me up other then the christian card being thrown, which we all know thats a scam and people were duped, and they doubtet Kerrys Vietnam record.
And seen bumper stickers to support troops, with Bush. That cat never showed up for any action.. Kerry did..
Good, now you know what the electorial college is. Look up republic,
cause that is what we are, not a democracy.

Kerry fought in Vietnam, good for him, but he later was a traitor
to his fellow soldiers and his country when he lied and said that
they were like Gengas Ghan. Gengas Ghan was worst mass murderer
that ever was. He killed a higher percentage of the planet than Hitler,
Stalin and Saddam combined. Its better to be a half-azzed national
air reserves pilot than a traitor like Kerry....

I don't believe that there is an ounce difference in todays John Kerry and George Bush. They are cousins, skull n bonesmen, and both politicians.
But like you said, Kerry did volunteer to go to Vietnam. Which gave him the "earned" right to say what he wanted about the leadership who sent them to war. After all, isn't that what our military fights for. To have the rights and freedoms that our forefathers laid out in the constitution and bill of rights? If someone like Bush was to say those things about the Vets, I could see your point about being a traitor. But not one who fought in the war.
In his statements to Congress, he admitted to doing the same things he said other Americans were doing. My god father is a Vietnam vet, with 2 purple hearts, and said that those things that John Kerry said happened, did indeed happen.
I worked with a guy once that said that he had a great time raping young girls(in Vietnam) then shooting them in the head when he was done with them.
The fact is. John Kerry chose to help put an end to the Vietnam War. With Growing opposition to the war. He had to have a good reason when he went before congress. A good solid reason to show the lawmakers that American Men had no business fighting over there. He stated "alot of GOOD men are turning bad in Vietnam".
As I stated, he volunteered, and he went to country, and he fought. That gives him every right to say what he wants to about it. And other Vets should not criticize or block his right to say what he wants without being criticized by other vets. Especially those who were not there.

Thats one persons opinion of John Kerry. Not that john Kerry is worth debating. I have said what I feel about John Kerry and his service and his reasons. And his right to utilize the rights he fought for. I will say nothing else.

Most of the Article that was posted as Kerry lie are true. Its hardly a secret that rape, murder, torture takes place by the soldiers fighting in a war. He never said ALL SOLDIERS DID THOSE THINGS. Only a fool would think American soldiers have never did those things in any war.
