I really hope Bush loses this election. And I hope many of these union workers realize Bush is NOT on their side. However, it’s kinda sad how a lot of these people will vote for Bush even though he promotes policies that result in job exportation. Hopefully people will wake up this election and realize Bush is a radical conservative corporate whore.
I recently read an excellent article on AlterNet.org by Thom Hartmann that explains why free trade is an oxymoron. Bush and his cohorts in Washington are leading us into a monarchy. They support the gaining of wealth by a select few, just like Alexander Hamilton who thought we should have a system like that of England wherein a select few had the power. I believe that the government should represent the whole not just a few.
The fact is that even though Bush is constantly favoring big business and the wealthy few, many people will vote this election strictly on emotional issues. Good luck getting the “typical working man’s” attention.
