Economy- The bankrupcy rate and unemployment rates have been the highest in history. Interest rates have been the lowest. This is not the sign of a strong economy. People losing part of their health and welfare benefits is not a good sign. Have you been to the grocery store lately? So I guess if folks losing thier homes, jobs and retirement is the sign of a good economy then... the last 42 monthes have been swell.
first the economy started tanking under clinton and his policies of higher taxes on the wealthy(anyone making money). second the unemployment rate under bush was at 5.6%, or that same as under clinton(hmmm, perhaps we give clinton a pass on this because people liked him?? sorry no go here). third, yes there were 3 million jobs lost, but that also started under, hmmm who was it? oh yes CLINTON!! and there have been nearly 2 millions jobs created in the last 10 months, sounds to me like the job market is coming back. as far as interest rates are concerned, they are moving upwards, slowly as they should to prevent a relapse, and to prevent excessive inflation. home construction is also up. the stock market is back around 10k, yes i would say the economy is rebounding. oh yes, the growth rate for the economy is much higher than it was under clinton, and is as high as it was under reagan!
National Security- Now I agreed and always have agreed that attacking Iraq was justified, I just couldn't figure out why he used the broad "WMD" reason. The fact that they broke the treaty was cause for action. I figured it out last week when Bush made comment of Iran having nuclear weapons. I guest that falls under "WMD". So now I see that everyone is at risk of being invaded by Bush. WMD?!? ATTACK!! So I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that most of the middle east doesn't want Bush in power. If I lived over there I would probably be afraid of being attacked, which is probably why Saudi has bought radio ads in 16 major US cities saying they never had anything to do with the terrorist and don't support them. So if you feel safe ticking off the rest of the world.. its a false sense of security, my friend.
on national security, hmmmm yes kerry is all for our armed forces having the best equipment, well except for the F14, F15, F16, F18, F117, F22, B1, B2, tomahawk cruise missles, and dozens of other weapons programs that they have now that he voted AGAINST. also consider that people keep saying bush lied about wmd's in iraq, but if that is the case, then why does clinton, gore,KERRY, EDWARDS, kennedy, daschle, gephart, the UN, france, germany, russia, egypt, jordan, and dozens other countries, and comgressional democrats get a pass on the fact that they also claimed iraq had wmd's? oh thats right, they hate bush with a passion, and so they develope a memory loss about what they said, and focus only on what bush said. sorry again that does play here pal. the democrats cant claim micheal moore is right, when they proclaimed themselves that saddam had wmd's.
according to the men who served with kerry, he wasnt a leader in vietam, and they will tell you that he isnt a leader here either. sorry but kerry is just plain wrong for the country, and our "cowboy" president is the right person for the job. read this regarding cowboys
www.catsprn.com/cowboys.htm yes i want a cowboy fror president as you can trust them to do what they say the will. kerry says he only wants to raise taxes on the rich(same definition as clinton, anyone making money), and he wants to reverse the tax cuts created under bush, but he doesnt want to.....raise.......taxes......on the middle....class..........hmmmmm how does that work again??? according to my math....IT DOESNT. come people think about what kerry is saying, if he actually says anything when he talks.
