Kerry: Gaining Edge on Terror
72
Sun, 07-25-2004 - 6:35pm

"Senator John Kerry said on Friday he would seek to persuade voters over the next three months that he would do a "better job than George Bush" in protecting the nation from terrorism..." http://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/25/politics/campaign/25KERR.html?ei=5065&en=789ba5a17982cc66&ex=1091332800&partner=MYWAY&pagewanted=print&position=


"In response to a question, Mr. Kerry said he has given no thought to the possibility of a terrorist attack taking place in the midst of the presidential campaign. "I don't think about it; I can't control it," he said." http://justoneminute.typepad.com/main/2004/07/i_cant_conrol_i.html


He certainly can inspire confidence.

Is this what he plans on saying/doing if he's president. "I can't control it?".

I know one way he would be different.

He would succumb to the UN to allow them to dictate how the US protects its sovereignity.

And then we can watch as umemployment climbs to double figures for the first time in over 24 years.

For every perk that Kerry claims will create jobs on his site, he doesnt explain that once he institutes his tax increase, he will not only void his jobs creation package, as it will still not benefit companies as much as the tax breaks they currently enjoy, but it will end up hurting the smaller companies, who will, in turn, have to lay off more and more people.

I think that for the next 4 years, the country should have a President by committee, as neither candidate seems to know which direction is the correct one for the country.

Oh yes, wow. Let's not PAY ATTENTION to the man who's in charge of it!!

He fights the creation of the 9/11 commission and is now standing ready to adopt some of their suggestions.

Yes the man who is in charge of Protecting America, is having to be told how to do it.

When it's in danger, maybe. Maybe not.

But we know that the US was NOT in danger when it came to invading and conquering Iraq :)

You've hit upon just how I feel. I think the election is down to Herman Munster vs. Lancelot Link.

But, I'll take the tax and spend liberal weenie over the Borrow and spend 'I'll attack Iraq because God said so' dude.

Sounds plausible. I remember Gore and his: “No controlling legal authority.” Maybe the two have been talking;)

At least Bush is willing to listen and do his job. Kerry is too busy campaigning to show up at the senate or get security briefings. Shows where his priorities lie.
