Bush is doing nothing about Health care and has offered no plan. Kerry's plan has received excellent reviews. You are for 45 million Americans without health insurance (and more every year) - that is Bush. Bush has lost 1.65 million private sector jobs. Kerry has proposed tax changes that will incentivize companies to hire in America (as opposed to Bush's incentive to hire overseas). You are for losing jobs (or poor job creation) - that is Bush. Under Bush, real median family incomes have declined. You are for declining incomes - that is Bush. Under Bush, we have increased our dependence on oil. Bush has even given tax breaks to small businesses that buy Hummers (or similar sized SUVs). You are for more dependence on oil - that is Bush. On Iraq, Bush says stay the course. We lost another 66 Americans in August, we set a record for wounded in August and killed countless Iraqis. You are for "staying the course" in Iraq (not finding a way out) - that is Bush. Bush has run the largest deficits in history. Even his own party has equated his spending to a "drunken sailor". Senator Hagel (R-Neb) recently said: "Republicans used to believe in balanced budgets. Republicans used to believe in fiscal responsibility, limited international entanglements and limited government. We have lost our way." You like irresponsible fiscal policies with huge deficits - that is Bush. So don't give me "I'm interested in exactly the same things". If you were for jobs, health care, fiscal responsibility, finding a way out of Iraq, getting Bin Laden, raising family incomes, and reducing dependence on oil, you would vote Kerry.
