When you get married everyone who influences your spouse will now have some influence over your life. Similarly, voting for a candidate is like saying, "I want this person, and all who influence them, to represent me."
In three and one-half years Bush's open-door to influence from multi-national corporations has proven detrimental to millions of American families. Bush and the Republican Congress provided incentives for multi-national corporations to outsource jobs overseas. 23 million Americans lost their jobs because of the influence large corporations have with Bush.
Mr. Bush promised less reliance on foreign energy and protection of America's resources. Instead he proposes exploration in our natural resource areas. Exploration and development would be cheaper there for energy corporations, since it would be on public lands.
Bush promised better health care for the elderly, but he and the Republican Congress slammed the door on cheaper medicines in Canada with their latest Medicare legislation.
His idea of holding down health care costs is mandating a maximum on malpractice suits. Doctors, drug and insurance companies, and other health care businesses may continue making exorbitant profits.
The influence over him begins with his key people. VP Cheyney was CEO of Halliburton, one of the world's largest providers of products and services to the oil and gas industries. Rumsfeld was an executive with the worldwide drug company, G.D. Searle & Co. Rice is on the Board of Chevron Corp. Bush and his father are heavily invested in Unocal Corp. Unocal is planning a pipeline through Iraq. Hussein won't allow that. Oh yeah, we dethroned him for unproven claims that he aided terrorists.
When you consider the influence of his close friends and associates, average Americans cannot afford another four years of George Bush. four years of George Bush.
