Hello again,

So I am doing a little research on this election I have been ranting about lately. Here are some statements from both Georgie Boy's and Johnny K's websites.

First, I will quote some things from George Dubbs....

"...do all I can to make sure America has the best prepared, best educated, and highest skilled workforce in the world." ( No me gusta. Why does there have to be a "best"... why can't we help out other countries that have FAR less than we ever will while still keeping ahead of the economical game, ya know??)

"Strong families are the foundation of a healthy society." (Very True, Very true!)

"The President will give priority consideration for funding to states that have a coordinated early childhood plan involving Head Start, pre-K, and child care services. " (That doesn't really make sense to me. Shouldn't he give priority funding to those states WITHOUT already coordinated early childhood programs so we can get at least some sort of early education everywhere??)


Ok, now some things from Mr. Kerry...

"Third, to promote democracy, freedom, and opportunity around the world, starting by winning the peace in Iraq" (That's what Im talking about.. lets share the wealth, not just hoard it for ourselves)

"John Kerry will cut the deficit in half during his first four years in office. "
"When John Kerry is president, middle-class taxes will go down" (It's blatant bold statements like these that inevitably end up not being fulfilled. Unless it's a done deal, don't claim to be able to do it!)

"...every child should be held to high standards, and every school should have the resources and the responsibility to meet those standards." (That's a very true statement, but it says nothing about how they plan on making that happen.)

Ok, so here's the thing... on the John Kerry website there are a lot of phrases like " we believe that..." and "we think that...." and not a lot of phrases like "we will do ____ to make ____ happen." The website is riddled with vague statements that are filled to the brim with loopholes and "easy outs". Changeable statements that are as wishy-washy as John Kerry himself. That really bothers me. I don't care what you think, I want to know what you plan on doing about it.

Again, I think I'm really leaning to the right on this one.
