Straight ticket



It's a familiar refrain among voters at the polls today - casting a ballot for change. Vanece Edwards, 33, from Colerain Township, said she marked her ticket straight Democrat because "if you think about it, things are not going too well right now."

By now you've all seen the Democrats' campaign slogan:

"A New Direction For America -- Vote DEMOCRATIC!"*

Let's analyze this empty and misleading promise.

The stock market is at a new all-time high and America's 401K's are back. A new direction from there means what??

Unemployment is at 25 year lows. A new direction from there means what??

Oil prices are plummeting. A new direction from there means what??

Taxes are at 20 year lows. A new direction from there means what??

Federal tax revenues are at all-time highs. A new direction from there means what??

The Federal deficit is down almost 50%, just as predicted over last year. A new direction from there means what??

Home valuations are up 200% over the past 3.5 years. A new direction from there means what??

Inflation is in check, hovering at 20 year lows. A new direction from there means what??

Not a single terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11/01. A new direction from there means what??

Osama bin Laden is living under a rock in a dark cave, having not surfaced in years, if he's alive at all, while 95% of Al Queda's top dogs are either dead or in custody, cooperating with US Intel. A new direction from there means what??


Several major terrorist attacks already thwarted by US and British Intel, including the recent planned attack involving 10 Jumbo Jets being exploded in mid-air over major US cities in order to celebrate the anniversary of the 9/11/01 attacks A new direction from there means what??

Just as Bush had planned and foretold us of on a number of occasions, Iraq was to be made "ground zero" for the war on terrorism -- and just as Bush said they would, terrorist cells from all over the region are alighting the shadows of their hiding places and flooding into Iraq in order to get their faces blown off by US Marines rather than boarding planes and heading to the United States to wage war on us here. A new direction from there means what??

Moreover, bear in mind that all of the above occurred in the face of the 1999 tech crash, the epidemic of corporate scandals throughout the 90's, and the 9/11/01 terrorist attacks on NYC years in the planning which collectively sucked 24 trillions dollars and 7.8 million jobs out of the US economy even before G. W. Bush had time to unpack his suitcases in the White House.

It's easy for the Democrats to attempt to discredit, disgrace and defame our commander in chief, George W. Bush -- that's what they do. What's not so easy for them to do is to refute irrefutable facts, no matter how they might try.

It's nice to know that people are thinking for themselves these days. My god people, think for your self! Make your own decisions!

It's great that this woman has her own opinion even if it differes greatly from mine. I don't want the military who is out there protecting HER, to be spit on and forgotten about and as a single mother of two who considers herself, "the working poor" I don't think we need any more welfare programs. Nor does the idea of opening the border and handing over my SS check. But God love this women for having an opinion, even if I vehemently disagree.

Hey Cincy911truth, your statements should be reserved for Democrats?
Not once did you mention the crimes of the terrorists. Keep your head buried in the sand. You are disgusting to rip on our military. No doubt you have never served and never will. What about Harry Reid and his shady land deal, what about John Kerry ripping our soldiers. You want rights granted only to American citizens for terroists? Stupid.
Geneva convention does not apply to these scum, no uniform no country, no Geneva Convention. Stuipd. Wire tap, you bet all day long. Pre-emptive war, If Carter had a spine this would not be an issue today. The problem is not with America. The is a reason the terrorists are rooting for Democrats. Keep your hands out of my pockets and serve your country. Join the military.
