tell me about it.i'm one of those people who struggles.i think bush is one of the worst presidents ever.there are certain people that are not part of the have nots who just love good 'ol bush to death.content with their lot in life while the richer get richer and the poor suffer more.maybe we should send cheney,bush and frist to iraq.let frist do a few heart surgeries and let bush and cheney get a little war experience on the front lines since this thing is his "baby".most of the people getting killed over there are poor and join the armed forces out of neccesity because they need the resources.i don't think you'll hear about any senator son being blown up anytime soon.this country has always depended on the poor to do the back breaking work and suffer while the big man smokes his cigar and reaps the benefit.a CEO making 15 million a year is outrageous.spending a billion dollars on the war.what about hungey and sick people here in our country? i know i'm not worried about if iraqis get dental benefits while people here live in pain.won't you be glad when this nonsense is over in '08.let them people worry about themselves and its time to take care of our own.katrina is a good example of priorities misplaced.last time i checked baghdad wasn't being destroyed by hurricanes....
