Receiving lots of precorded phone messages and mail from the Republican Party.

So exactly what are they trying to prove? How am I suppose to react? Scare tactics really started off with Reagan, he opened the doors for the Japanese car market, killed the anti-trust act so one guy can own the entire computer industry that became just about the world's richest man, increased tariffs on computer memory, dang memory cost more than an entire computer did back then, and started a war secretly without congress more than likely giving us the problems we have today. Taking credit for killing the USSR, but they did that themselves with Afghanistan. Starts Star Wars, that was great for engineers in California, but his vice president getting elected killed that as soon as he came in leaving hundreds of thousand out of work. Well least that work was here so the IRS could tax it. Plus let's foreign interest buy our major corporations like RCA and our communications and entertainment industry like Fox and Sony. That was against the law before Reagan. Are we better off?

Was no Wal-Marts back then, have they helped us? Would go into a town, buy up 40 acres for a hundred bucks an acre, least around here, sell off 25 acres to other stores for $500,000 to a million or more bucks an acre, kill downtown, and their famous 39.5 hour work week, no benefits, no health insurance that help to drive up the rates for everybody else. Are we really saving money?

Bush is known for the Gulf war, did that help this country? Did overflow our VA hospitals with gas poisoned guys, made Iran that much stronger, and further increased anti-American feelings more than likely leading to 9/11 plus put this country deep in debt. Not much scare tactics used against Clinton, never was an investigation about his campaign contributions from China, but opened the doors for cheap imports. One American company after another was knocked down, and you know what? The prices for these items either didn't change on the shelve or were just a couple of cents cheaper. Somebody here was making a lot of money. But guess who was paying the price. Republicans had good reason to use scare tactics back then with Kid Bush, but only made matters worse. This little king really made a mess with the middle east and increased our manufactured imports by a factor of four over Clinton, started a war to make Iran even stronger and still thinks he is king for the world to obey.

Have to say that all of our leaders since Johnson have made a mess out of this country, going back a few years, we had 16 years of leadership from California and 17 years from Texas, 33 years of very poor leadership. Should add to the Constitution, natural born USC, 35 years of age of 14 years residence and not from Texas or California. Can add to that, no good old boys either from the south that added another 12 years of poor leadership. Feel Carter was honest, but also dumb, no way would I buy a used car from Clinton.

So we got this guy from Illinois and perhaps think back with Abe, he seems to care about this country, does he? Or another good old boy from the south, my friends in Arizona do not like him. His claim to fame is crossing the aisle, but his hot temper in a world crisis is what really scares the hell out of me. Doubt if they would take my wife or me back, but we have kids they can take to fight more needless wars. For years we had to vote for the least of the two evils, with those Republican scare tactics, they are strongly pushing me toward Obama, least he can keep his cool.
