<1. As an aside, were you for Gulf War and if so, how do you square that with kerry using it as a template for the way in which we should go to war when he himself voted against it(Gulf war) while voting for this one?????> Iraq invaded Kuwait -- the US showed leadership of the highest order. <2. How do you tbink kerry can pay for all he has promised with his read my lips pledge of the second debate? Do you really believe he can raise the top rate to 100% without getting teresa pissed off???> Kerry does not need to implement all policies from day one -- and with a Republican Congress he can't anyway. kerry would follow in the Clinton footsteps and restore fiscal discipline -- but he would be hard pressed to do more than halve the budget deficit. He could only implement his health care plan over time. In the long run, what he is propsoing is more sane and cost-effective than what we have now. It costs a fortune to deliver fifth rate health care to the uninsured today. people who think that the emergency room is the place for a child to sit around all night because he has the flu are idiots. The system needs to be fixed to save money and improve delivery of care. <3. How do you think kerry would react if the republicans started slapping pictures of his somewhat naked daughter in cannes, nips showing and all? You think kerry might react more like the cheneys???> Do you have any copies of these pictures? <g> And no, I could not care less and I suspect nor could he. <4. Can anyone figure out for me how kerry is doing better in state polling but is clearly behind in the national ones?? What will kerry do if he loses the pop vote and wins the electoral college?? No question in my mind that he will ask his electors in such a case to cast their votes for bush. (g)> It all comes down to who actually goes out and votes. Polls don't make elections -- it takes real votes. That is an empirical question that will be put to the test soon.
