I agree with Susan about the honesty and integrity issues, and also the morality of our country,
particularly what is protrayed on our
Television, and by teen idols. I,
however do not believe that we can blame this on President Bush. We
have Senators, congressmen,
representatives and the Supreme
Court to blame for alot of the
issues gone wrong. And we as
citizens are also to blame for not
standing up, speaking out, against
the astrocites taking place in our
country. We are sitting back, letting
things take place that should be stopped.
80% will vote out of fear this election year...

That is most important to me: it includes, honesty, care for others & the best world possible, so it also includes jobs, economy, education, health care, and not manufacturing terror and not sending young loved ones off to be slaughtered for Halliburton profit of an elite few such as #1 stockholder Bush family.
This administration is sorely lacking in decency & integrity & honesty. And the entire system could use a boost in this department.
