Key Issues

I'm Sick of It.

Have you ever had an incredibly large, un-ignorable situation going on within your household?

It's there, it's important, you want to be kept apprised and you fully support working it out as quickly as possible, but as the household must go on, there is no need to monopolize every second of every day with conversation on said topic.

Understand that this is coming from someone who talks shit to death. When my husband yells, "Alright already!" that would my cue to shut the hell up.

But as big as this war on terrorism is, and as much as I support (and will be voting for) Bush, I would like to hear something else come out of his mouth when he addresses the nation.

Anything.

What else are we working on? Tax structure sucks. Foster care program sucks.
(I really don't get why I am being taxed to fucking death to support entitlement programs catering to lazy adults, while their own children suffer.)

What makes it even worse, is that the speeches seem to be more and more desperate in their attempt to justify our involvement overseas. I understand that he's being attacked. But I don't think he owes them an explanation every time he opens his mouth.

If people do not get the "WHY?" part of it by now, they're not going to. They need to shut up, sit down and let someone else think for them.

Of course they're not going to, but why cater to them? Why not use the hour-long addresses to the nation to talk to those of us who are with him?

I could appreciate something along the lines of:

I. So here's where we are on the war:
A. How we've responded to the dumb shit they've pulled recently.
B. What our immediate goals are.
C. How our long term goals have changed, if at all.

Moving right along...

II. This is where we are domestically:
A. Liberals are trying to suck you dry and...
1. I'm fighting them?
2. I'm letting them?
3. What?
B. Clinton left a big stinky mess up in here and I'm...
1. Fixing it?
2. Ignoring it?
3. What?

What else is happening? I don't want to talk about gay rights or prescriptions for the elderly. What else?
