Yeah, that comment was quite presumptuous of Kerry who has never made more money than his wives and who has never made much money outside the public sector. He obviously has never heard of quiet millionaires who live in surprisingly modest neighborhoods and don't unnecessarily call attention to themselves with public displays of fake compassion. This fantasy world that Kerry lives in is also the reason why he has fixated on $200,000 as the initial cut-off point for his tax increase. Does he not know the great risks that many people take every friggin day to exceed that annual income milestone? How typical it is for a pretentious liberal elitist to muck around with incentive systems that he hasn't even experienced much less understand!

On Friday night in St. Louis, Senator Kerry tried to tell sportsmen that President Bush was "going backwards on the definition of wetlands." Wrong. In fact, President Bush has recommitted this country to the Conservation Reserve Program, extending the life of the 35 million acres of farmland protected by this program and opening the program to additional 800,000. This is just another attempt for John Kerry to hide from his horrible record for sportsmen and farmers. John Kerry has sided with groups like The Fund for Animals that want to take away your right to hunt and fish. Kerry wants to pass a law that would ban certain commonly used shotguns that millions of sportsmen use. America's Leading Conservation Organizations On The President's Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and Wetlands Proposals: * Pheasants Forever: "This announcement is a grand slam for wildlife and conservationists. CRP is the nation's most successful conservation program and the President's announcement today will ensure that the wildlife legacy of CRP will continue into the future. This is a huge victory for wildlife, the environment, and hunter-conservationists." -- Howard Vincent, President, Pheasants Forever Ducks Unlimited: "The Administration has taken an important step today to promote CRP enrollment in this crucial area and to ensure it remains a key part of the Conservation Title of the next Farm Bill. This announcement is big news for DU and our one million supporters." -- John Tomke, President, Ducks Unlimited National Wild Turkey Federation*: "Stronger conservation provisions in the Farm Bill are critical to restoring and maintaining wildlife habitatWe feel the ongoing dialogue we've had with the Bush Administration and Congress is important. It has allowed us to work together on behalf of all sportsmen to make good things happen for conservation." -- Rob Keck, President, National Wild Turkey Federation

It was a cheap shot, but an effective one. That's why it's so important that John Kerry be defeated. We need somebody with character in the White House. Kerry proved that he doesn't have it. Message #76163 from rick benfield at 10/9/2004 8:12:58 PM Last night in the debate Kerry surveyed the audience and came to the conclusion that Pres. Bush, Charlie Gibson and himself were the only ones who made over $200,000./year. A demonstation of Kerry's awesome insight and intellectual ability. A cheap shot by an elitist. Insulting as well. I would wager a bet that a majority in the audience gave more to charity than Big John. This all brings up a question: If Kerry were to address the UN General Assembly would he be able to identity the honest delegates. Its and easy question because if you exclude the coalition there are none.
