It's a shallow reason. That's my point. But hey....if that's all that's important to some...

Yes I admit it I am a very shallow person thats why I am known far and wide as a man of wealth and taste....

The main thing I don't like about Kerry is that he represents the extreme Left wing of the Democratic Party....even Lenin would think he was a little too Lefto

Well that's better!

Please elaborate? What makes you think that? details please....

After the 2000 and 2002 election the Democratic party was taken over by the extreme Liberal wing of the Dem partyt...U know those guys who brought you Dukasis, Mondale and Jesse Jackson...Kerry is merely a puppet of Teddy Kennedy.

Can you elaborate as to why you feel this way? Any examples to demonstrate this to be true? (prefer to discuss Kerry in this context...)

Kerry is for a Socialist American built upon the European Model..meaning HIgher Taxes on the Middle Class..either that or none of his plans will work...Less indivdual freedom...His Health Care insurance means government control.

Nancy Pelosi as Minority whip in the House of reps....he first statement was, "I am here to counter the extreme polices of the Bush Admin."

Terry McAulief as DNC Chairman.....

Kerry is a Senator from Mass....who has the political power in the Dem party in MAss....why Teddy do

Kerrys voting record in the Senate clearly shows that he is for Higher Taxes , reduced Military, Gun Control, and more social programs...

First of all, thank you for answering. I hear these things....but no one usually explains what they mean.

What do you mean "higher taxes on the middle class?" What Kerry has said is taxing those who make $200,000 or more in an effort to be fiscally responsible (what a concept, huh?). Have you heard differently? Or do you feel that $200,000 is middle class?

As far as his healthcare, from what he's stated, he wants all American children to be covered, but wants to make it more affordable for others to purchase (this means...not free.....affordable). He wants people to buy their own insurance, just wants them to be able to afford to do same.

Why do you feel this type of healthcare is modeled after a socialist society (where free healthcare is available for all)?

Cool Chicky U may not like Bushy...but at least give the American people a decent leader who represents at least a modicum of the people...and not this represenative of the...of the ....Socialist Left...a veritble LEFTO

1. Cheney is the one who led the "reduced military". All of congress, republicans and democrats alike were behind that after the cold war. So, in my opinion, that's a moot point. Blame Kerry, then blame Cheney, as well as all Bush I and many, many of your republican guys....

2. Have you specific bills regarding these other issues so that we may discuss intelligently?

Canadian health care is so great that they come to the USA for treatment....

Do U really think that only the 200K earners will be affected...and Busy was exactly right with Sub Chapter S corps ALOT of small businesses will be affected by the 200K tax rollback

Second Kerry doesn't like the Dividend tax break....this is the first tax law that makes SAVING money over spending it benifical...not since JFK in the 1960's started taxing the interest on savings accounts has America had a law that promotes savings....

Soc Security...get your calculator out and take 20% of your SS contribution over your working life time and compound the interest at lets say 8% which is a modest return...I venture to say that you will have quiet a nest egg there... vs giving the money to the govt so that they can use it for the general fund...

and that nest egg you have acquired will provide a nice income and U will be able to leave it to your family to boot....

The NRA rates Kerry an F on his voting record on GC. Inspite of his claiming to be a gun owner...and hunter....I would bet that with 72 hours of a Kerry Presidency he would sign an Executive Order banning Assualt Weapons on National Security grounds...

Do you have any idea what our deficit is? Do you realize we have to add troops (there is a shortage). Do you know that the deficit has increased to rediculous proportions?

How in the hell are we supposed to pay for this massive pork barrel spending?

Unfortunately, Bush is spending like a drunken sailor. We can't continue to allow the deficit to grow at this rate. $450 billion in the RED is just PROJECTED for FY2005.

Can't have it all....the republicans need to decide what's more important.

And regarding this 200,000 hurting businesses..it's a HUGE exaggeration. please read this:

http://www.factcheck.org/article265.html

Why did the NRA give him an F?

And honestly...I believe it's so important that you keep your assault weapons...as long as your personal freedoms are taken away in the form of the Patriot Act. That's cool.

One thing Liberals don't get...

Ask yourself the question...Why would a fiscally conservative spend like a drunken sdailor....

Answer....If he didn't that recession would have turned into a DEPRESSION the likes of which we havn't seen since 1929...


Proof you ask....The Stock Market went through the WORST BEAR MARKET SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION..the SM is only an indicator of investor confidence and business conditions...


Why was it so bad.....

1. DOT COM Bubble
2. 911 opened the ABYSS and the financial system aka a house of cards almost came tumbling down
3. Stock Market scandals ...Enron, Tyco etc

Was Bushy responsible for it...He11 No

The economy and government is like the Titanic....when the wheel is turned it takes time for the ship of state to respond...the stage was set for all these things to happen in the previous administration...

Why <i>was</i> it so bad....

this is your statement...

It's 2004. We're supposed to be <i>projected</i>$450 billion in the red. It will probably be much higher than that.

Why the deficit initially went up, ok, I'll give you that....but there is no indication that this issue is going to be addressed. How long can you guys blame it on 9/11, dot.com, etc.?

You can't have it both ways. More revenue or less spending. Tax increases or reduce spending. You guys have to decide which is more important. We can't continue on this route. You do realize the value of the dollar has decreased quite a bit because of this skyrocketing deficit, don't you?
