Let's give Al-Qaeda an entire country to plan their attacks, so that we can endure even more terrorist attacks...
George W. Bush waged a war on Iraq based on false intelligence and motivated by his maverick cowboy mentality, killing thousands of U.S. soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi citizens. When he realized he made a mistake, he didn't cut the losses - he increased them. We had no right to invade this sovereign country that posed absolutely no threat to us, nor do we have any right to stay there even one day longer. If the country falls into the hands of a religious dictator after we leave, you can blame George W. Bush for it. Staying there will only guarantee the bankruptcy of our country.

These are two separate issues. Let's tackle them one at a time:
1. Raising Taxes.George W. Bush has run our national debt up to $9 trillion dollars:
How do we plan to pay for this debt? More tax cuts will only raise it even higher. The Bush Administration has used smoke and mirrors to hide the national debt problem by promoting more and more tax cuts. Even John McCain voted against these tax cuts, saying that it was foolish to cut taxes during a time of war. Now that McCain is running for President, he has flip-flopped on this issue because he knows he has to promote tax cuts to get elected by Republicans.
2. Keeping the Borders OpenHave you been wondering why Clinton has been getting more of the Hispanic vote than Obama has? It's because they are worried that Obama will be tougher on the border issue than any other Presidential candidate is. In addition - Bush has been extremely soft on border enforcement. His border policies have been nothing but amnesty. To be able to lower our national debt and fix our failing economy, we will have to have a President with a backbone who will stop the flow of illegal immigrants into the USA.

Your hero George W. Bush has been doing a great job at that. I'm sure mcCain would be happy to follow in his footsteps.

Let's don't and say we did. Bush has already done enough of that (see the above graph). It doesn't work.

Yippeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Change is what we need, and change is what Obama represents. Change away from the Bush era of running our national debt up higher than any other President in USA history. Change away from policing the world and invading sovereign countries that pose no threat to us. Change away from the arrogant and pompous lack of international diplomacy. Change away from out-of-control government spending. Change away from families going bankrupt due to a broken healthcare system. Change away from oil companies padding the pockets of government officials and getting away with murder.
Can we do it?
YES WE CAN!
Go Obama!!!
