.....The President should give a crap what the American people
think? I ask this because I just heard another one of those "I
don't care what you think, I know I'm right" quotes on tv and it
seriously ticks me off. Do these people not know that they are public
servants? They work for us! We gave them their jobs! Arrogence..... Or firm resolve, what do you think? ps I'm not whining, I'm just making a thread about rather or not our national leaders should care what we, the people, think..... -------------  |

Meh, the American People elected him. By electing him, we basically said that we like how you are running the country, and agree with your beliefs.

Why does he need to care what we think? The man claims he speaks with god and he tells him what to do.
The only way that can be said if the election was a mandate, which it wasn't. Not even close. he just treats it as if it was. -------------

I do support Bush on some issues(eves dropping) and some things I don't support(caring about the Iraqis freedom). I do believe that he is a better leader than John Kerry. Just because one man isn't that great doesn't mean that the other guy running against him is so great. -------------

Yeah, but most of the time in politics it's picking the lesser of two
evils. I most definately thin John Kerry was that, especially in
hindsight......

I don't know why we spend so much money on restoring a 3rd world country. Who cares I think the American people should see some of those trillions of dollars.

 That's just sad if you think that.
As a Canadian I will say that I dont really have the best of ideas about the American government and its workings. But I'm pretty sure Bush and his advisors have better incoming intelligence then lets say... you do. I'm also sure its not the easiest of tasks to make desisions that will not only effect your country but will could also have global ramications. You know the saying 'Cant please everyone all the time'? Try pleasing an intire country? By all means I'm not defending Bush, just saying that its a tough job to lead a counrty. ------------- White Ion White Empire Reloader Blackheart Board CP Roller Trigger Hybrid Feedneck Unimount2 68/3000 CF Pure Energy Tank

There certainly is some logic to that approach, but you must remember that those other countries aren't that far from here. It's a small world. Query, for instance, whether we would be having the current terrorism problems if the Middle East were more prosperous? Query whether the US would be as prosperous as it is if Europe had been left in shambles after WWII? The Marshall Plan was arguably the best investment ever made by the US. You can view foreign aid as charity, or you can view it as an investment. ------------- [IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/aag8s8.jpg"> |

Investing in future global prosperity is one thing but there is
certainly no Marshal Plan going on in Iraq right now and I expect that
any kind of investment in the mideast that would work out as well as ours
in Europe did would have to be very very big.......But hey, if we get that
all taken care of maybe we can start on Africa....

Canadian or American or British or French, politics are politics and I believe my comments are general enough to apply to any government running a diplomatic country eliminator wrote: I say move to canada. Paul Martin cares about us!
I really don't want to hijack a thread or get off topic and start talking about Canadian politics so I'll make this brief. You stating that you're 13 almost makes me want to completely disregard what you have said. I remember at 13 I know now that I was not old enough to form my own ideas on politics or beliefs, because you just haven't been around long enough to form your on ideas and beliefs. There is a reason why the legal age to vote is 18. I still believe that the average 18 year old isn't responsible enough to make a proper judgment on who would be the best candidate to run out country. In Canada we have many more options. Liberal, Conservative, NDP and many other independent parties. Even if you don't agree with the party's entire platform, there may be things that are a major priority for you that is part of their platform. You don't even need to vote party and look into the people running in your constituency, and vote for the best candidate that would be best for your area. As a Canadian citizen you have lots of options. Your only non-option should be not to vote. ------------- White Ion White Empire Reloader Blackheart Board CP Roller Trigger Hybrid Feedneck Unimount2 68/3000 CF Pure Energy Tank

Or any kind of major attention from the first world....I mean, I know
we pay some attention, at least enough to say we do, but things could
be done to clean it up much better than it is....

I understand that completely. The only thing I will say against thatis America did help rebuild Japan after WWII, and now Japan is becoming very rich and powerful in manufacturing and buisness. The will soon become the world leader in car manufacturing. -------------

Africa is going to be a key element in the furture of the world as we know it. Right as we speak they are planning to drill for oil there. I saw on a news report that they estimate a ocean of oil under africa. Iam not kidding, thats what they said. Wait about ten years to see what devolopes. ------------- Only Hugh can prevent florist friars. |

No matter what the president does, whoever he/she is, people will always say its the wrong thing to do. And you guys are choosing from republican or democrat. Are we forgetting the 3rd party canidates. This isnt a 50/50 choice here folks. Also, you people are focusing on just the Iraquis. It was proven Saddam was on his way to making(if not already making) WMDs. That could be shot at the US at his whim. This is also the reason why Iran is looking awfull suspicious. Only time will tell if the president now made the right decisions. Until then just go with it. |

So kerry would have sat around here and worked on his Universal medical plan that he never really specified how he would do it. Yeah...Ok. Oh and for the record, I want you, Ejp414, to explain to me what the founding fathers ment. Cause if you can do that, there is alot of people that want to talk to you. Seriously, he got elected...Not Forced his way into office, but ELECTED. Therefore he was voted as the best canidate to run this country. Plus he is but one man. There are other parts of the government that has control over us. Its not fair to use just him as a scape goat. And about this wire taps and whatnot. This isnt the olden days when protecting our freedom was just keeping someone off our borders. People need to realize that the government is here to protect us, and in turn we give up some of our freedoms. If you have something to hide then you need to be caught. I dont know about you, but if they find that Joe Smith down the street is planning on blowing up my school by tapping his line without him knowing. Im all for it. Plus they only watched a few thousand people. America has 240 million ish. The odds you were being spied on, are slim to none. |
