America-Hye Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Mitch Kehetian, who voted for Bush in 2000, based on his Genocide pledge, has written an editorial urging all Armenians in the US to vote for Kerry this year. He states that we not encourage such behavior as Bush's reneging upon his pledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakharar Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Kerry is most likely to renege on his "pledge" too. So you better prepare yourself for the inevitable outcome (That is, if Kerry wins the election, which is highly unlikely itself). I'm not going to vote at all, since I did not register and do not intend to. As American-Armenians is that all we care about? They see us along with all the other ethnic groups as useful dupes to be used and discarded after we cast their votes for them. Both see us as a nuisance.

This action was taken only moments before the resolution was to come to the House floor for a vote, reported the H.Res.596 Committee. Speaker Hastert, in an announcement explaining his decision, noted that, based on the concerns raised by the President, he was removing the resolution from the legislative schedule of the House. The Speaker said that President Clinton had raised "grave national security concerns" over the resolution, stressing that even the measure's consideration would pose a threat to American lives. The President, in a letter to the Speaker dated today, noted that bringing the resolution to the House floor "could have far-reaching negative consequences for the United States." The Speaker acknowledged in his statement that the resolution "would have enjoyed support among the majority of the House. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
