Bush has already proven he's not interested in smaller government. He's not even really interested in tax cuts, because his "tax cuts" without corresponding reductions in spending are just future taxes, with interest, piled onto our backs in debt.
As for Lurch, if he's elected he'll swear an oath to defend the Constitution and the country against all enemies foreign and domestic. If he doesn't he'll be impeached and removed swiftly; the country is united against the murdering Moos.
That's why I'm thinking it'll be easier to force Kerry to fight terrorists than to force Bush to slash government.
Kerry hails from our nation's financial elite, many of whom were killed on 9/11. Many Yale grads and Skull & Bones members in the Twin Towers, I'm sure. You really think Kerry or the Democratic elite don't care about terrorism? They're targets too, and they know it.
The Dems' rank & file in the antiwar protests may oppose the war, but the Democratic elite (the ones who attend the Ivy League and work on Wall Street and vacation in Martha's Vinyard and the Hamptons) are no dummies, and they can be brutal if their survival is at stake. Remember, it wasn't Middle America that suffered most on 9/11 -- it was Hillary's and Kerry's social circle. I'm sure they had friends and aquaintances in the Twin Towers.
Our war on terror policies will remain largely unchanged, whoever wins tomorrow.
