What about your life was personally improved by the Bush Administration?
Particularly for those of you voting for McCain I'm curious about this. Maybe you have a healthy dividend that you like not having taxed, but if not, I'm just wondering how you feel your life has been personally affected by Bush policies and why they make you eager for more of the same.

>>>Grey, you're really not expecting any answers to that question, are you?
This election isn't about policies. It's about doing the Lord's work.

Any president that gives me back all of the federal taxes I pay every year is a good one. Bush has been doing just that. Also, I'm much better off financially than I was during the Clinton debacle and I don't even work any longer.

No President has ever improved my life personally. However, the choices and decisions I make with no input from the government do improve my life in many ways.

Don't flatter yourself. No one considers you worthy of being an enemy, certainly not al qaeda, bin Laden.
911 was actually a strategic move to get Bush to join with bin Laden in transforming the Islamic world, and Bush rush in to exceed all expectations. Why after all, bin Laden may have control of nuclear weapons within a few years if Bush keeps transforming the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

Bush has transformed my attitude about the future.
Before he was elected, I felt the American people were just too self centered and focused on short term consumption, just far too conservative in their thinking, Ron Reagan conservative, that if we don't think then we can imagine that the future is bright, if we don't ask questions, then we will hear no answers we don't like.
Bush has given me optimism because he has proved to conservatives that conservatives don't have a clue how to go forward, but only how to go backward. That's why fewer are calling themselves Republicans, and more are calling themselves Democrats.
And Bush has really made me optimistic because he has done things that Al Gore could never have accomplished. Al Gore could never have raised the price of gasoline above $2 a gallon; Bush doubled the highest price Gore could have reached. Al Gore could never have gotten T Boone Pickens to lobby for a transformation in energy, from oil to CNG, and from NG to wind and solar. And most of the conservative strategists have realized that sustainable energy is the future, and if conservatives don't get on board quickly, they will be cut out of both the decision making, and of the credit.
And if the American people don't yet get it, don't yet understand how morally bankrupt the conservatives are, how immorally the conservatives are selling future generations out, then the American people deserve McCain to give the people another dose of Bush, because I'm sure that McCain will find a way to expand the wars from two to four.

Let's see:
With Bush's choices for the Supreme Court my second amendment rights won't be tampered with for the forseable future.
No more cities have been blown up after Clinton's time bomb blew up.
My federal income taxes are lower than they've been for many years.
I can rest easy at night knowing that our country is protected.
I made a ton of money in real estate over the past 8 years and was smart enough to time out the inevitable downward trend.
My index funds have done well over the years.
My wife in the military has gotten a raise every year.
My daughters education is improved thanks to No Child Left Behind.
Overall, my financial security is in good shape because of low capital gains taxes and low federal income taxes.

I can now say that his policies and the administration have impacted my life directly. My paycheck is directly linked to the economy (believe it our not) because we work off of sales tax in this state (just like a good Republican would want, all Republicans should just move to this state-you would be very happy) . Regardless of how hard I work, or how high an evaluation I receive (and I get high ones) this year there will be NO COLA or no merit pay increase for any state employees here. I am falling way behind inflation this year. This has to do with the economy...people do not pay for things when gas prices are so high and they are losing their house; when the dollar is so weak and things cost so much.
And no, 'go get another job' will not work unless you are the guy making locks for foreclosed houses.
