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

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

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."
