Kerry: Gaining Edge on Terror
| 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.

But while on the topic of elections, why in the world do american elections drag on so long, and why aren't campaign costs capped? Here campaigns last about one month, and candidates spend a fraction of what typical candidates do in the US. Maybe it has something to do with why the number of people who vote in the US is much lower than that in Canada. It just drags on for so long that people are sick of the whole thing!
Besides, what does this have to do with the fact that Saddam Hussein unconditionally surrendered, or is that point escaping you somehow?
The French were not even really our allies during WWII. In fact, Charles DeGaulle resented deeply the fact that he needed the assistance of both the British and the US to free his country from the Vichy Government and the Nazi's.
Check your history on this. It is actually quite interesting.
Instead of streamlining the system, our bureaucrats increase the bureaucracy, which in turn increases the cost of running the government. It is a horrible catch 22, but the system somehow still works decently, but it is not perfect.
The worst time this country has been through in recent history is under a Democratic President.
What is your point? I didnt realize that Canada had anything to do with the United States.
