The Dims are on sucide watch.

As I travel across this country, I meet store owners, stock traders, factory foremen and optimistic entrepreneurs. Their experiences may be different, but they all agree that America can do better under an administration that is better for business. Business leaders like Warren Buffett, Lee Iacocca and Robert Rubin are joining my campaign because they believe that American businesses will do better if we change our CEO.
Since January 2001, the economy has lost 1.6 million private-sector jobs. The typical family has seen its income fall more than $1,500, while health costs are up more than $3,500.

The "Red" capitalists are backing John F*ckin' cause they believe they shouldn't have to pay -its YOU the little guy who should make life easier for them. And why not? All of Kerry's Big Government proposals won't inconvenience them in the least. Hey, let Uncle Sam pay for it all - no wonder billionaires like Warren Buffett and George Soros are backing the Democrat.
Marry rich women.

Republicans have been in the White House for 16 of the past 24 years, held a Senate majority for 14 of those years and controlled the House for the past 10 years. GOP candidates aren't winning elections by luck. The Democrats had their "Great Society" and stayed in power by handing out welfare checks. It took a long time, but Republicans discovered something more valuable to hand out, a form of personal liberty that allows individuals to create real wealth. On self-interested grounds alone, health savings accounts and private Social Security accounts are an electoral inevitability.
And I won't be afraid to take on prescription drug or medical malpractice costs. We will make it easier for generic drugs to come to market and allow the safe importation of pharmaceuticals from countries like Canada. Finally, we will require medical malpractice plaintiffs to try nonbinding mediation, oppose unjustified punitive damage awards and penalize lawyers who file frivolous suits with a tough "three strikes and you're out" rule.
Who will fix it? He will put the breck boy on the case, that's the ticket. LOL
And what? No mention of Viet Nam?
There's an awful lot of the "my plan will do this" but there is no explanation of just exactly what that plan is.
"Finally, we will require medical malpractice plaintiffs to try nonbinding mediation, oppose unjustified punitive damage awards and penalize lawyers who file frivolous suits with a tough "three strikes and you're out" rule."
"nonbinding" "unjustified" pretty much negates that portion of his promise.
What sort of "three strikes" is he going to impose on lawyers?
No we don't! We happen to be one of these and we are VERY happy with President Bush and his tax cuts. The only "economic policy" that I have seen from John Kerry is marrying a couple of rich wives.
The Dims are on sucide watch.
"...every American should get one additional vote for every $10,000 he pays in federal income tax. With such a system, there'd be a modicum of linkage between one's financial stake in our country and his decision-making capacity." - W Williams
P.S. - I've checked the time again. Kerry has not flip flopped yet...the article is still the same.
And it probably was written by one.
What a crock! How about TONS OF COMPUTERIZED "records" that are meaningless because of bureaucrats like John Kerry who don't know what the *ell they are talking about! Just stay out of MY business because I know how better to handle it than any of you loathsome "lawmakers". Just storing the junk is an overwhelming expense in itself not to mention the time and manpower it takes to comply with the "rules".
We really don't need or want anymore input from some stupid jerk who has never had a REAL job, someone who doesn't even pay for his own home/expenses or who hasn't shown up for work in the last year while accepting the salary.
MIND YOUR OWN *AMN BUSINESS, JOHN KERRY!
He couldn't get any press so he has to write a column on what his policy would be. ROFLOL!
Kerry: "Lovey! Lo- Vey! Those mean Republicans are making fun of me. Can you buy the Wall Street Journal? Tax free of course."
I think his opinion piece is inane and banal but it is what he should have been doing instead of pursuing this TANG stuff. Unfortunately for him this stuff won't get any coverage, and Rathergate will. Oh, and he wants to raise taxes on small bizness a lot so that he can give a teeny tiny tax cut to bigger businesses.
No comment necessary. Flip-flop in progress.
When the economy needed short-run stimulus without increasing the long-run deficit, President Bush got it backwards, passing an initial round of tax cuts that Economy.com found had no effect in lifting us out of recession. He then passed more deficit-increasing tax cuts that Goldman Sachs described as "especially ineffective as a stimulative measure."...
My economic plan will do the following: (1) Create good jobs, (2) cut middle-class taxes and health-care costs, (3) restore America's competitive edge, and (4) cut the deficit and restore economic confidence...
I strongly believe that America must engage in the global economy, and I voted for trade opening from Nafta to the WTO. But at the same time, I have always believed that we need to fight for a level playing field for America's workers.
I am not trying to stop all outsourcing, but as president, I will end every single incentive that encourages companies to outsource. Today, taxpayers spend $12 billion a year to subsidize the export of jobs. If a company is trying to choose between building a factory in Michigan or Malaysia, our tax code actually encourages it to locate in Asia.
My plan would take the entire $12 billion we save from closing these loopholes each year and use it to cut corporate tax rates by 5%. This will provide a tax cut for 99% of taxpaying corporations. This would be the most sweeping reform and simplification of international taxation in over 40 years. In addition, I have proposed a two-year new jobs tax credit to encourage manufacturers, other businesses affected by outsourcing, and small businesses that created jobs...
Under my plan, the tax cuts would be extended and made permanent for 98% of Americans. In addition, I support new tax cuts for college, child care and health care -- in total, more than twice as large as the new tax cuts President Bush is proposing...
Americans can trust my promise to cut the deficit because my record backs up my word....
On Nov. 2 we will have a national shareholders meeting. On the ballot will be the choice to continue with President Bush's policies or return to the fiscal sanity and pro-growth polices that proved so successful in the 1990s. You will choose.
He was opposed to the Bush tax cuts that were instituted in the middle of a recession to prime the economy, but now that the recession is over, he plans to cut taxes like crazy after elected. He's never voted for any tax cut in his entire life, but now he expects us to trust him when he says he's going to cut taxes.
What he means is that he'll spend more tax dollars on stem cell research... as well as a million other things, he'll cut taxes and balance the budget. Got it straight now?
Bump!
I have to wonder what is wrong with these 'business leaders'. They can't be right in the head and think that raising taxes is a good thing (which we all know Kerry is going to do).
