I'm registered to vote but every election just disguists me. I came very close close to voting in this recall election, but I finally decided against it. I felt I was being swept up in the euphorea of the process like so many were so I wansnt sure my intentions to vote would have been genuine and honest.

What's with all this, "How has this affected you?", stuff.

It has affected your fellow citizens, or doesn't thier liberty matter? If not, then why the heck does Iraqi liberty seem to mean so much more to you?

''There are too many people who imagine that there is something sophisticated about always believing the best of those who hate your country and vote, and the worst of those who defend it and don't vote."

There you go big fella.

hating people is what Republicans are about....
they want women to be subjugated and forced to have babies...
At the same time they kill innocent men, women, and babies, in 3rd world countries in order to take their resources and then forcing them to buy products made from their stolen resources.

they impoversih their own people, by increasing the divide between the haves and the have nots.

Denying medical treatment to those who need it and can't afford it.

Republicans would sell their elderly to soap factories if they thought they could profit by it.

How's that for matching your absurdity.

I believe the confusion lies in the fact that you feel that humanity is helpless without government taking care of them while libertarians and conservatives feel that people should be given as much opportunity as possible to help themselves... and that nothing else works.

I don't care about people who don't care about themselves.

mentally ill people don't have the capacity to care for them selves.
The majority of homeless people are mentally ill.

It's not wellfare... it's human compassion - which the Republicans in their quest for money and greed can't even fathom.

And those who are not mentally ill would be better served with vocational and workfare support... again not wellfare.

Perhaps they could clean a Republicans toilet... if they could tolerate the toxic smell.

I agree that most of the homeless are mentaly incompetent or drug addicts.. you can't help them by giving them money tho.

They need to be institutionalized. They would not go to work every day even if you offered them a job. they would not be able to manage money if you gave them a monthly check.

If you don't want them institutionalized then the best thing for them is to simply allow them to continue to live as they are doing. If you build shelters for them then they will leave the second the weather gets good or they hear voices or whatever moves them and cats to get up and leave.

If you wish to do good then give money to the salvation army or to local church's that provide meals and temporrary shelter etc.

For sure... if you give my money to the government they will squander it and not solve anything. But that isn't the point is it? You don't really care one way or the other. You simply want everyone to think you "care"... You care enough to spend my money on soothing your concience.

Solving the "problem" isn't your agenda... who knows what it is? maybe you think you will get laid if you seem compassionate and womanly? maybe you are very young and have no understanding of how the world works? Maybe you are just angry with anyone who has more than you do? I don't really care why.... I simply want to keep you and your agenda from affecting my life.

Who's talking about giving them money? Not me?

Ok don't institutionalize them... don't build shelters...

At least do something with them because they are a freaking traffic hazard!

If you don't care about them then think about public safety for everyone else!

if this is true... then the money given tothe government which it spends on the military is .... squandered?

Is the money given to Bush to run this country squandered?
He's part of government...

remember every branch of government is now run by a political appointee... appointed by Bush...

programs in place, the authority and rules which they are run by are created by the congress which has been ruled by the Republicans for over a decade now... that's a lot time... they could have changed the rules.... they had the power to override Clinton's vetos.

This policies and programs of this government are run by the people that were voted in.

The low level IRS worker who enters tax forms... doesn't make the policies...

B*tch all you want about this wasteful government... the people to blame are the ones at the top, and if you don't want to blame them then blame the people who voted them in.

You do realize that in some cities Vets make up an ESTIMATED 50% of the homeless population...I'm not saying this is absolutly true but if it's even 10%-25% then don't you think that a bit of charity, compassion and thankfullness is in order?

...or do you just want to toss them aside somewhere where you'll never see them?

Before you get on that 'they should help themselves' high horse, think about what effects of being in combat can do to a soldiers mind. Sure, there are places for these Vets to go for help, ever try to see a Doc at a VA hospital? It can and does take months to see a doc and often it's in a city far away from his home, if he has one. Transportation is difficult and that's yet another roadblock for those Vets that are already having difficulty dealing with reality.

Families forced out on the street is a rant for another time....compassionate conservitisim indeed.
