Thoughts on the 2004 US Election
October 22, 04 by kenrichRecently, I have been following an election predictor that attempt to predict the outcome of the presidential election based on polls of
likely voters from each state. Earlier this week, the polls indicated a definite Kerry advantage and just in two days have switched to a Bush advantage.
Another story indicated that many undecided voters tend to vote for the underdog when it comes down to election day. This may explain why the voting has changed the way it has. But we still have 10 more days until election day and both candidates are in good position to take the election.
It amazes me that so many people would support Bush when he has
demonstrated time-and-time again that he only cares about helping rich people and big business (corporations). Not only has he done very little to help the poor and less fortunate (and yes, middle class this includes you), but amazingly, he has put into legislation, new laws that hurt the majority of the people. One example of this is the law he passed forbidding sick people to import medications from Canada. This harmful law was compounded by barring imports of flu shots from the Great White North.
And as for the “middle-class” moniker that Bush likes to throw around. In his eyes, you aren’t middle class unless you make at least 200K per year. Notice how he never even mentions the lower class in his speeches and how he stammers when asked if he would raise the minimum wage. It’s time for people to wake up and take back the country into their own hands.
