"He (Kerry) has (was) elected by Americans and I don't believe
that Americans are stupid."

People don't have to be stupid to be lied to. Bill Clinton
lied about Gennifer Flowers and also under oath. Regard-
less of what one may think of Clinton, the fact that some
people believed those lies does not make them stupid. If
anything makes them stupid IMO it is their failure to demand
that Clinton be held accountable once they learned the truth.

True, neither Bush, nor Kerry has addressed healthcare in a
meaningful manner. Apparently, Bush would prefer to cut costs
by, among other things, putting a crimp in mal-practice law-
suits. Kerry claims to believe that tax cuts to the wealthy
could be diverted to healthcare and that government should
have a major role in healthcare; more bureaucracy, lower
quality, government interference in healthcare choices but
everyone gets healthcare in some manner.

You could vote for Bush and work for tort reform. Or, you
could vote for Kerry and his "band of attornies" and get
government subsidized healthcare or, at least, a lot of
bluster in that direction.

Yeah Sivad, I realized my typo as soon as I posted it. I'm glad you understood what I was trying to say.

I have no interest in Gennifer Flowers or any other of Clinton's love interests. I don't even care if Clinton lied to protect himself. People do things like that when it comes to personal stuff.

But I do care about policy for this nation. Tort reforms are good and I support Bush on that. But what good will that do right now for the people in this country without health insurance who cannot see a doctor unless it becomes a crisis serious enough to send them to the local hospital emergency room? These people have no access to preventative medicine. Can you say that is a good thing as long as your political objectives are on track? The idea of providing every American with access to healthcare is not a socialist plot. It is something we as a nation should decide is the right thing to do. That's what I think.
