Sarge, it makes no difference who the President is if you are a white male. The only difference between you guys is your politics. Nothing else. Nothing at all.
No matter where a white guy lives, he can get a job (assuming he has a job skill or career track). If he wants to be comfortable, he can move to the mountains or seashore, North or South. No Difference for white guys.
But if you're a woman of child bearing age, Republicans, if "Dubya" Bush is elected, will outlaw every kind of abortion and if not, criminalize all abortions except those where the mother's life is endangered. Smart move: desperate woman gets abortion; goes to jail, along with the doctor.
If you're a Hispanic, Asian, female, disabled, or worse-Black, your freedoms, hard won over the past 50 years, will be chipped away, right by right.
"Affirmative Action?" Dead duck.
(Unless you're a white guy. The "good ole boy" (affirmative action for white guys) network will be rebuilt.
(Republicans looked at Black people as not deserving "Affirmative Action."
Guess what Sarge? Do you know the major beneficiary of "Affirmative Action" money and jobs?
White women, like your wife, daughters, sisters,neighbor lady. Cutting "Affirmative Action" has cost white women billions in business, housing and economic development loans and grants. White children in families earning less than the poverty income guidelines will get whacked; I could go on and on.
But by killing "Affirmative Action", programs started to help the poor (Black people benefitted a lot because they make up a disproportionately large number of those below the poverty line), you Republicans will do in a lot of poor white kids.

I am a partner in a publishing company. We have a report (I'll send you a copy if you want) showing that 51 of every 100 firearms deaths inthis country are suicides, 41 of every 100 firearms murders are committed by wives, husbands, neighbors, friends, co-workers; you know, people you are likely to know.
"Criminals" using firearms only kill 3 of the 100 persons.
3 of every 100 persons killed by firearms are accidents.
The NRA speaks lies and practices "fear baiting" on Americans.

And then there's those pesky immigrants. Unless they have computer or medical degrees, it'll be "so sorry, we have no room."
But if you're Black, (any African heritage, Haitian, Caribbean (other than Puerto Rican), you can hardly get in now under a *Democratic* adminstration.
Republican administration easing immigraiton guidelines?
Please!
Democrats are warm hearted... Republicans are cold blooded.
