POLITICS: Ron

[Guest guest]

³However, I can¹t give my vote to Mr. . I can¹t ignore the

repercussions of the libertarian capitalism Mr. espouses, especially in

a world where corporate monopolies have been ruling the market for over a

hundred years and, by doing so, have made any possibility of a free, much

less fair, market absolutely impossible. I can¹t ignore his musings about

preventing people from so-called terrorist countries from visiting the

United States. I can¹t ignore his yes votes on building a fence along the

Mexican border, or his vote against tipping off immigrants about the

Minuteman Project, or on reporting undocumented residents who receive

hospital treatment. Furthermore, his calls to find and deport every person

living in the United States with an invalid (or no) visa and to end the

constitutionally guaranteed citizenship of every person born in the United

States are just plain wrong and would increase the police state he claims to

oppose. I can't ignore his votes against restricting employer interference

in union organizing or his opposition to increasing the minimum wage. I

couldn¹t ignore Reagan or Bush¹s fundamentally anti-labor

positions and I won¹t ignore Mr. ¹s. Nor can I ignore Mr. 's

position against women's reproductive choice. His vote to ban gay adoptions

in DC ticks me off as does his vote against continuing the moratorium on

drilling for oil offshore, his vote for continuing military recruitment on

college campuses, and his support for the Star Wars weaponry plan (SDI).²
