Can we elect already?!

I am so tired.
I will be so happy when this election is over. My only hope is that when it’s over, we’re not getting ready to get used to saying “President Kerry.”
I’ve recently had many a good conversation with some friends with whom I hadn’t talked politics with. I was surprised to find out they’re not Bush fans. I feel I haven’t done enough to get the message out!
Look, if you’re reading this (and it’s not too late) and you’re thinking of voting for John Kerry, spare me a moment.
John Kerry is for bigger government. He’s a socialist. He’s the single most liberal senator in the United States Senate. He’s anti-defense having voted against numerous defense bills. He’s sponsored very few bills during his time in the senate, but one bill he did sponsor was a huge cut in intelligence spending right after the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center.
Kerry yearns for a day when terrorists are just a nuisance - and not an enemy. He’d rather prosecute them in court of law than a battlefield.
The democratic party is saying Bush’s tax cuts only favored the rich. That’s not true. They were flat across the board! The rich people got bigger tax cuts because they pay more taxes. It’s like this... if you have a big watermelon and someone comes along and chops of 15% of your watermelon, they get more watermelon than if they cut off someone’s watermelon that is one tenth the size of yours.
John Kerry says he wants to raise taxes on the rich. Why? What have the rich people done? Why should they be punished. Rich people are THE REASON this country is strong economically. Rich people invested their money and got richer.
If it’s the government’s policy to tax the rich unfairly, then rich people won’t have money to invest. They won’t have money to pay employees at the companies they own. They won’t have money to spend on cars, houses, etc. that less-rich people build, repair, and sell. If rich people have less disposable and investible income, EVERYONE SUFFERS!
John Kerry and John Edwards are both against tort reform. John Edwards made himself rich suing doctors, insurance companies, and governments in malpractice and injury lawsuits that paid millions in damages. Kerry is not going to support legislation to impose limits on these kinds of lawsuits. Under Kerry, the health care costs keep going up and health care gets worse as malpractice insurance rates continue to climb.
John Kerry wants the government to ease restrictions on embryonic stem cell research funded by federal dollars. If John Kerry is elected, he won’t pay careful consideration to the ethical issues around the harvesting of human embryos in the name of pop-science. He says he’s a Catholic, but he can’t let his political conscience be affected by his faith.
In other words, he’s a fraud!
Say what you want about George Bush, but he’s an honest man who is only looking out for what is best for you and me.
