So you think that there is no difference between Bush and Kerry?

Regarding the infamous "sneak and peek" provision... I'm not so sure that's such a bad thing. I'd rather have the cops sneak in first and be sure that they have the right place. Wouldn't you? Or would you rather they bust down your door in the middle of the night, blind you with flashbangs, taser your grandma, shoot anyone that looks like they might resist and then find out that it was your next-door neighbor with the drugs under his bed and the terrorists in his basement. They have been doing that for years... long before President Bush and the Patriot Act came along.

That is not to say they couldn't still screw up. But I'd think my odds would be better if they actually knew they had the right house before they come busting in. Mostly because, other than a couple of unlicensed software programs, I'm pretty sure they would find no contraband or terrorists whatsoever. And if they do find a terrorist, I'd much rather they apprehend him when I am safely out of range.

Good comparison.

BUT -- why is the War on Terror not even mentioned?

In the Homeland security area they only have the Patriot Act and immigration, NOTHING about Bush being firm and determined to fight terrorism, and Kerry thinks terrorism is not really a serious threat.

All other issue and their stands on those issues pale in comparison to this one.

"the Bush haters cannot be swayed by facts. They never met a fact, they couldn't ignore or twist."

In their world, this is how they see things.... "Behind every silver lining, there is a cloud"

That's easy, John Kerry believes the threat of terrorism is exagerated and George W. Bush believes terrorism is a threat, and we must do everything we can to fight that threat.

Does it matter?

It matters to me. 100K for couples is definitely too low. Even for individuals it seems low. But get that number up high enough and you won't hear a complaint from me.

Your statement makes no sense

My statement? The questoinaire says Bush strongly favors appointing judges who will outlaw abortions. It's their statement. Kerry strongly opposes appointing judges who will outlaw abortions, according to this survey. According to this dumb survey, Kerry is right and Bush is wrong on the question. I think it's a poorly worded survey, but who knows? Does Bush strongly favor judges who will outlaw abortions? That's what this thing says.

You should send your suggestion to John Kerry, I'm sure he would like your input.

Myself, I think redistribution of wealth is unacceptable, but then again, so does George W. Bush and that, along with many other reasons, I'll vote for him again

The Patriot Act is more nuanced that strongly for or strongly against. Kerry, who for all I know voted for the thing, says he wants to take out some provisions.

Kerry voted for the Patriot Act. His excuse for complaining about it now is basically that he didn't read the bill!

That's OK, most, if not all, of the people here complaining about it, didn't read it either :-)

They run FR, too. Karl Rove gave Jim Robinson a lot of money. Yep, Jim takes his orders from that bad boy now. ;-)

Hey, don't forget Richard Mellon Sciafe (sp?) -- he gives us all checks just for posting here! ;) Speaking of which, why was it so terrible for him to give money to so-called Clinton-haters, but it's just peachy keen for George Soros to give many more millions to Bush-haters?

Thanks,BenL.

I think I see your parallel between Benedict Arnold and FrankenKerry. How apropos.

Redistribution of wealth? Dude, every dollar the gubmint takes in is "redistributed," some of it to good stuff like the war on terror. The question is whether or not the gubmint takes in enough to pay for all it spends. The money's got to come from somewhere. So, naturally, as a taxpayer, I am interested in where that money comes from. Now, maybe it's supposed to break my heart if someone else get's hit up for a few points increase, but something tells me they aren't worried about what I have to pay. So don't look to me to be a sucker and sign on for more than I have to.

No liberal could have said it better

I want the government to be forced to cut spending, not raise taxes. In fact I think taxes should be cut again, Growing our way out of deficits is the healthiest

Kerry Pledges Return to Clinton Terrorism Policies
NewsMax.com ^ | January 31, 2004 | Carl Limbacher


Democratic presidential front-runner John F. Kerry pledged on Saturday that if he becomes president he'll treat terrorist acts against the U.S. as a law enforcement problem rather than as acts of war - the approach favored by President Clinton throughout the 1990's as Osama bin Laden repeatedly struck U.S. targets with impunity.

Speaking before a group of Oklahoma City firefighters, Kerry complained that the Bush adminsitration "doesn't understand the war on terror."

Under a Kerry administration, he said, the fight against terrorism "will involve the military now and then," but it will be "primarily an intelligence gathering, law enforcement operation."

"It's a great big manhunt," Kerry explained. "[The Bush] administration has translated that legitimate threat into a completely wrongheaded kind of full-fledged military response."

Since 9/11, U.S. terrorism experts have said that the Clinton administration's legalistic approach to fighting al Qaeda not only proved ineffective - it actually emboldened bin Laden to the point where he thought he could launch an attack on U.S. soil without prompting a serious military response.

Indeed, in a 2002 speech to New York business leaders, Mr. Clinton himself cited legal concerns as an excuse for his decision not to have bin Laden arrested five years before the 9/11 attacks.

"At the time, 1996, he had committed no crime against America," said Clinton. "So I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America."

Are you saying that if my husband and I make over $250,000 and Kerry wants to raise our taxes so you get more money in your check it's okay with you?
