Reply #136: If Bush told you not to jump off a bridge, would you jump because you don't trust Bush? [View All]

Seriously. That is your entire argument. Frenchiecat gives you tons and tons of reasons why we needed to act quickly (hours/days), and you keep saying "but Bush was against it! omg omg omg omg." How are you any different than the people that voted for Iraq reflexively because Bush was for it? You simply look at Bush's position, and vote accordingly, regardless of whether or not outside facts support or detract from his position.

All the plans you posted would not have solved the problem. While giving money for unemployment insurance, food stamps, etc is a good thing, it would not have come anywhere near solving the problem. If you don't have a BANK, you cannot DEPOSIT your unemployment check. You cannot BUY food.

As for Michael Moore's plan, he doesn't have a plan. As far as he is concerned, he would rather see the entire country suffer just to ensure the rich would also suffer. Maybe the fact that you are quoting such a cruel "plan" indicates that you feel similarly. Don't vote for the plan because it helps the rich (even though not voting for it will devastate everyone else). Who knows.
