His "affirmative action" policy:

And his pro-life policy:

those happen to be the reasons I don't like him biggrin:

affirmative action was a policy that I always didn't like the Democrats for, looks like the Republicans are jumping on the bandwagon.

as far as abortion goes: who teh hell is Bush to determine when a fetus is considered alive?

pretty soon they'll ban condoms because they prevents the beginning of life hake:

You must have misread the affirmative action part - Bush is AGAINST it.

This is a HUGE deal around here (i live 15mins from UofM) it is a bad policy. Racial problems are getting better around here but this is just hurting the progress we have made.

LOL - I support bush too (are we still talking about porn?)

I am split on the two issues you listed. I am against any sort of enablement and preferential treatment suck. the abortion thing - well that isnt a big issue for me any more. I use to take a hard line stance with the democrats on this one, but am getting more conservative as time goes, but still not near the repubican side.

I may not be an American, so it doesn't affect me...But I'm very Pro-Choice.

Who wants to solve the growing over-population problem, and all the problems that come with it? Not Pro-Lifers.

Who wants to give an un-born fetus, that can't even think, a worse life, filled with a mother and/or father that can't support them, possible abuse, living life as an un-wanted child, Among other things. Pro-Lifers do.

To sum it up, you're giving a plant (Un-Born fetus), the chance to visit the horrible world we live in.

Also, shouldn't it be the fucking mothers choice whether she has to go through the hell of pregnancy, and even ruin her and the childs life later on? I mean, it's only her that is going to feel bad about killing HER child. Why the fuck would some freak-ass pro-lifer that doesn't even know the situation, care about an un-born child? Why don't they go out and solve life or death problems for people that are actually living? Or go and cure problems that happen to pregnant women that actually WANT to have a child.

As far as I'm concerned, most pro-lifers that I have witnessed are complete psychos anyway. Isn't it a bit hypocritical to murder someone for pro-life causes? Because that is what happens...Fucking psychotic extremists.

Ok, on abortion, i'm neutral on that one. It should be a womans descision when it comes down to it.

Now, about "Affirmative Action", i'm totally against that biased bullshit !! If it were the other way around (for the White male), we'd have riots in this country. I owe nothing to the black man since i'm of Italian & Austrian descent and have roots in America since the late 1890's. As far as i know, my pappy never owned no slave!!

If you want a job that bad, apply yourself towards that goal....don't let a "rule" get you in.

he's got more balls than the Clinton ever had ...

Pro-choice is pro-death. It's ludicrous to think there are huge teams of people caring for a 30 week prematurely born "fetus" (no longer since he/she is out of the womb) on the one side, and other people slicing these babies up while still in the womb. Think of that. If you think abortion is ok, why isn't it legal to kill a baby once it's been born? Either way we've got a stopped heartbeat, and ceasing of brain function. That's death in my book.

As far as sparing the child the horrors of the world, why don't we just make a committee to identify people who are having a bad life and blow them away? Heck, it sure saves them in the long run. Why don't we do that? It's wrong, just like abortion is.

Right on, Rocket, right on.

I don't want anyone telling an adult what they can or can't do with thier own body . On abortion , smoking , body piercing , whatever , I think an adult has the right to choose whats best for themselves .
On the issue of affirmative action however , I'm torn . I believe the job should go to the most deserving person . Unfortunately , merit doesn't work if you're not willing to give the applicant a fair chance . Affirmative action was supposed to give minorities that fair chance but the idea got fucked up along the way . Your color shouldn't get you the job , but it shouldn't prevent you from getting it either .
As far as white males saying they are loosing everything , I ask this . Who are you loosing it to ? It damn sure isn't to me or anyone from my neighborhood . Instead of blaming minorities for all he things you've lost , take a look at the real culprit , big buisiness . Republicans and Democrates have cut those assholes huge tax breaks . When was the last time the IRS cut you a break ? Don't feel bad I didn't get one either .

I believe I am pro-life because, I think every child, despite the fact that their parents may be losers, should have a chance to live in this world. I'd much rather see the child put up for adoption and given to a family who learns to love him or her.

As for affirmative action, I think it means well but, the way it is carried out just... doesn't work. You can't hire someone who isn't as qualified as the other guy based upon preferences. It doesn't create an even playing field which was its original purpose.

Affirmitave action does work when used properly. It helps poor people get places that are exclusive to white with money. I know I'm wasting my time in this forum. But Bush is only looking out for his friends. He has enough problems with that uppity Powel and Rice on his staff he can hardly stomach the idea of more minorties doing as well as his white friends. I mean, whose going to do those jobs that nobody wants, or go die for our country while Bush's white friends kids are in college. Bush is no dummy(he is a complete idiot though), he knows whose money bought him the whitehouse, so he doesn't want ot piss of the Country Club crowd.
And how can someone believe in the death sentence and be a anti-abortionist, it does not make sense. Oh thats right were talking about money again aren't we.
