READ HIS STATEMENTS
Here are his points, minus the smoke and mirrors.
One of which I do like very much -- and that's the tax-cut rollback on the top 1%
I also understand why he voted against the partial birth abortion ban -- I do wish they had drafted the bill better. I might actually lean Kerry here.
Though I was not happy that Bush didn't push the assault weapons ban more.
Now I don't know why Kerry voted against the first Gulf War or against funding the troops. Neither sound good to me
But, again to be fair, I understand that there are often reasons for votes that appear, on the surface, to be ridiculous.
I felt like Bush, for some reason or another, wanted war in Iraq.
The problem, if that's true, is that the Bush administration lied to me about why we're there.
The whole WMD thing doesn't please me at all ... it really makes it look like we rushed into things.
You don't rush into sending your friends and neighbors to fight and possibly die
I feel like a lot of people have been callous towards the deaths of our troops
They have done so by failing to put a face on those troops, but rather used just a number.
But there was something that did stick, and that was that so many people just don't really understand the seriousness of going to war.
We can't take a face off of our military, the military is our son, our daughter, our father or mother, sister or brother. This is why I feel so strongly about how Bush handled Iraq.
I'd say Bush has made me most uncomfortable with his handling of Iraq.
I get the impression that Bush is going to hurt our foreign policy,
damage our reputation in the world, which, despite what I've heard some conservatives say, is something to be very concerned with.
It hurts trade and it hurts the lives of our citizens who live and work overseas -- beyond other things.
I do know that there has actually been a net job loss during the Bush administration.
I think its a combination of the times and the Bush policies.
Can you tell me anything good about Kerry?
