of course not i want to hear what he will promise and then support it. Let the debate begin.. for example yesterday he will give a 10% tax to deferred foreign income for corporations if they bring the income back to the united states.. Last night a political talking head on fox , says this was proposed three times in congress already and Kerry voted no three times.. so we see more of Kerry and substance. in interview with cnbc yesterday in trying to find out more about reducing corp taxes he says he will increase capital gains taxes.. that's us on stock trades and increase tax on dividends.. that's us again. so even his middle class will get tax increases... not cuts. Then i see several corporations already came out against his corp tax cut proposal. His 99% that will benefit.. I await the ceo's to come out and tell us is this proposal good for jobs or not.. Head talker yesterday said no. So i want to hear more from Kerry on what he is going to do and less about the vietnam war and him being a war president. I want to hear how he is going to create jobs , that i believe is already happening. but i would like to hear specifics of what he will do for the next four years.

You would rather compare politicians by what he promises on the campaign trail than review his record? That is scary. What is scary is Bush's record. I believe that Bush has mislead the American people. I believe that unilateralism is not a sign of strength, but one of weakness. I believe that forming strong bonds between the nations of the west and the UN is the only way to effectively fight terrorists. I believe that Bush mislead the American people on the war in Iraq. I believe that Bush has not done enough to get bin Laden or to get Al Qaeda, before and after 9-11. Yet he will stand on the pile of ashes and declare that he is a war president...fighting a war that is unrelated to 9-11 in any way. I believe that if we go to war we need to pay for the war. It's not a time for tax cuts. We should be paying as we go, especially when the deficit and debt continue to balloon. Bush has failed on the war on terror, the economy, education, health care and the environment. His record is an abomination. I believe in stimulating the economy by investing in our infrastructure. Our roads, bridges and power grid are in need of repairs and upgrades. I believe that investments in education is the road map to future economic strength and jobs here in this country. Free trade needs to be morphed into fair trade. When good paying jobs leave the country to find a lower standard of health and environmental care for the workers and the planet, then we are trading our economic welfare for corporate profits, and profits that are often moved off shore and taxes are not paid on them. We need to close the loopholes that allow corporate theft of America. We need to reward those companies that continue to stand by Americans and exact a price from those companies that continue to send jobs over seas. I believe that Kerry will return honor to our country. He will return to fighting for jobs. Kerry will lead us out of oil dependence to energy independence. Kerry will make the investments in education and infrastructure that are critical to America continuing to lead the world. Kerry will bring some sanity to health care. Kerry will return us to a path of respect for the environment. With Bush you'll get exactly the opposite of the above. Vote Kerry in 2004 Orca
