Please explain to me how Bush is directly responsible for jobs being pushed overseas? You do realize that is far more complex than a simple 4 year term by a republican. Frankly the fact that the Democrats want to hang on to the Tax code is proof positive that they don't really get it or give a damn. The Fair Tax plan would tax imports and domestic products equally. That means less jobs exported for a company wanting to reduce costs overall. Why aren't the Democrats all over that? Because it takes away their big instrument for social engineering (again, they need to get a clue we're not turning into Canada or Europe).
Most Americans can afford basic major medical coverage. It cost me $50 a month for that. Stay the hell off smokes and drink and you can afford that. How many poor take the extra money and spend it on cigarettes? There's your major medical right there. Health Insurance/Health Care. How are we going to pay for it? Do you really want a federal system of health care that's run like the US Post Office? The Clinton's couldn't get a national health care system going in their administration, why is that going to change now? Further, why does it have to happen at a federal level anyhow? Why can't it happen at the state level? Is health insurance even a correct federal level program given the commerce clause?
Ever worsening economy? Do you live under a rock? GDP has been going up, not down.
Kerry was a poor choice over Bush for many of the reasons that people revile Bush (including me) 1. Patriot Act. Kerry voted for Know your customer. He was on the Intelligence committee, he was connected with the FISA court. He was part of that process that had the laundry list that had patriot ready do go shortly after 9/11. No points there. 2. Communications Decency Act. Kerry voted to abridge Free speech. He went with the herd to "protect the children" from the Internet and lost when the act was deemed very unconstitutional. 3. CALEA. Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act. Kerry voted for this back during the Bush Senior Administration. Bill Clinton Signed it into law. You and I have to pay for the FBI's non-encrypted wire tap points on major telecommunications gear. 4. COPA and COPA II. Kerry voted for these too. In order to get federal funds, libraries have to track and report user's habits and actions. No points there either.
Please explain how with the above voting record Kerry is any kind of improvement what so ever? Because during his campaign he says he's changed?
Gun rights go to a basic concept that an individual is responsible for their own safety (ultimately) and that the government can't take those rights away and is not supposed to mother us. Any politician that doesn't get that has a serious problem and is in the wrong country.
If you're going to attack me on my stance you better have more than a littany of campaign griefs to throw around. I'm an ACLU, EFF and NRA Member. I care about more than one issue, but when they're all equal and the few left stand out that's where the decision goes.
