- Will control energy prices - Don't believe he ever promised this. - Iraq's threat a priority - Kerry, Clintons said the same. - WMD's for real, and we've found them - Again, you're claiming something he didn't say. - Libya's threat for real - It was. Unless you think nuclear bombs and missiles have peaceful benign uses. - Tax cuts for rich create jobs - Standard Keynesian and supply side theory says tax cuts stimulate economy in recession. Hard to cut income taxes without rich being cut too as they pay most income taxes. - It's your money but not your debt - Another statement you made up. - Will protect social Security - Has done nothing to endanger it. - Pollution creates jobs - Another statement you made up. - Drilling in wildlife rfudges gets us off arab oil - Every US barrel produced is one we don't import. - Drilling in wildlife refiges has little environmental impact - True. - Will control oil/energy prices - Another made-up statement; also a repeat. - Will improve education - Trying to, with the help of Kerry's vote. - Has a health care plan which benefits consumers - medicare prescription benefits its recipients. - Will create 2.6 million jobs this year - May do so; BLS household data conflicts with payroll data. - Will punish Enron type criminals - Working convict more all the time. - energy crisis was market driven - solution is market driven; stupid govt policies contribute to the problem. - Deficit spending driven growth = healthy economy - deficit spending stimulates economies in recession per both Keynesian and supply side economic theory. - Gay marriage a constitutional issue - Watch out; Kerry may agree. - Will fund AIDS fight in Africa - Yes. - Will fund hydrogen cars program - Not familiar with this. - Will fund Homeland Security to states - huh? - Focused on OBL and Al Qaida - Yes, he is. - Is tough with center of terrorism (Saudi Arabia) - Well, tougher than in the past. - Will capture OBL dead or alive - Probably is dead. - Mission Accomplished - Saddam was overthrown. - Has made us and world safer - I agree. So did Kerry when Dean expressed skepticism. But that was a few months ago, probably reversed himself by now. - deficits dont matter - You're repeating again. - 9-11 could not have been prevented - I also don't think he said this. Though it could have been if Clinton had tried to get ahold of Osama but Sandy Berger says they didn't want him. - Weak dollar good for USA - Actually it does make our exports cheaper for foreign buyers. - Kerry weak on defense - look at the list of weapons systems he's tried to kill. - Kerry a waffler - Hell, everyone knows this. You praised it as preserving political capital yesterday. - Kerry doesn't tell the truth - Well, obviously. Apparently neither do some of his supporters.
