see, sound bites are all you have. sound bites & cheap shots. I realize to someone like you, I am not worth debating. You are set and I am set. So be it. It's kind of like Kerry & Bush debating. They are playing to an audience, not really discussing issues. It is theater. I'd love to hear the differences in their plans for the economy. But neither one of them can state what those plans are! Kerry says he is gonna cut taxes and increase spending and pay down the deficit. Don't work that way. Universal health care? No freakin way. Not in the US with the strength of lawyers and the cost of malpractice insurance. I would like to hear an intelligent discussion of what they are doing or what they plan to do, not "applause lines" or those lecturing tones that take a while to say but don't mean a damn thing. Can any one of you Kerry people intelligently and clearly state a platform issue of his and how he intends to acheive it? I doubt it. He has not clearly indicated that to us. I don't think Bush has either, not on several issues. But he does have the advantage of four years of service speaking for him. In my case, that bodes well for him. Broad brush strokes do not achieve what I want to hear. So, to me, all campaign promises are smoke and are platitdes uttered in order to get into office. Then they don't mean a thing. Both sides of the aisle do this. Although I do have to say President Bush did alot, not all, of what he said he would do and then some. That is what draws alot of people to Bush. Right wrong or indifferent he sticks with a decision.
