Before Bush was "chosen", I thought he would be a disaster if he became president. I told my friends he would be a disaster.
I was wrong. He is a TRAGEDY!
I don't remember all the reasons, but the salient items that tipped me off were:
1) When asked if he had done hard drugs, he simply refused to answer. That told me that he would not hold him self accountable and be up front with the American people. What gets me is that he was not further pressed. Whether he did drugs or not is not the point. The point is, he refused to answer a question that I think we have a right to know about someone who is going to have power. I do not trust people who stonewall or use the "broken record" technique to avoid direct answers to direct questions.
2) I thought of him as an executioner and he said, the justice system didn't make any mistakes. I heard him and saw his lips say it. That's ridiculous. Any system with humans in it can and does make mistakes. It has been proven over and over again that innocent people get thrown in prison, yet he was incapable of being cognizant of this possibility in his own state. ... or he is just stonewalling because he just doesn't care.
3) He is his father's son and I did not want another Bush in office. His father was openly against honest labeling of packaged products. It's like saying, "People, I do not want you easily understand what food companies are selling you, because the corporations making these products may be poisoning you and I don't want you to know that. That is, I don't care about you. I care about profits."
There are far bigger issues than these, but these little hints were enough for me to know that he did not care about people like me.
DUBYA was outright saying, "I am going to screw you if I become president." Yet he became president. (Notice I didn't say "elected")
I almost voted for Nader, but I was already so scared of Dubya that I could not waste a vote. Nader said all the right things, but I knew he could not win.
