"There's what Kerry says, and there's what Kerry does." - A 527 Ad.

Kerry's a crowd pleaser. He'll say anything that will make him more popular with the American public (Bush Bashing), which isn't always what he backs in actuality (i.e. "Yes we did the right thing going to war with Iraq, even with the evidence we have today" vs a month later "We fought the wrong war at the wrong time."). The man's constant waffling, weighed with his prior voting record (which is absolutely horrible and shows inconsistancy) make it hard to really believe that's what Kerry's going to do. He's taken both sides to all of these issues several times durring his early campaign and he's continuing to change still (i.e. our presence in Iraq).


Although, I especially like this one; "Supports allowing undocumented immigrants to legalize their status if they have been in United States for certain period of time, are employed and can pass a background check."
That'll do wonders for unemployment of existing U.S. citizens, not to mention National Security - as we will be flooded with immigrants to the point where al-Queda operatives can slip through the cracks and become legal citizens of the very nation they are here to destroy.

"Supports increase in minimum wage." That'll drive businesses here to start looking elsewhere for cheaper labor in other countries and will take a nice chunk out of our economy.

"Wants to invest more money in equipment, technology." Take a look at Kerry's voting record and you'll see exactly how he's jerking everyone off with this campaign.

I could go on and on and on but I'm not up for it. Anyone who knows how the government and economy run knows you can't spend spend spend (on like a hundred different major programs), pay government personal more more more (while increasing the size of their numbers), and cut taxes all at the same time. It's just not humanly possible without throwing the U.S. further, further, and further into debt. Congress won't pass half this shit. Half this shit won't even make it to Congress.

As for the Patriot Act, let's roll back to 1989 when we had Felix Bloch, a high ranking offical at the U.S. State Department spying for the Soviets. This man was documented meeting with questionable foriegn officals in Europe and recieved calls from KGB operatives at his home while the FBI was watching him. Could anyone touch him? No. The Justice Department demands an insane ammount of evidence in order to issue warrants - evidence that's not obtainable without one (as spies and terrorits work covertly). The man passed oodles of secrets to the Soviets right in front of us and we couldn't touch him.

Sniffing out spies was easy back in the 80s because you knew where to look. Government positions. How about with terrorists? They're the average joe running groceries out to your car, or handling your stocks, driving you around in a cab, or may even be co-workers. They're the American public who work the same jobs you and I do. That's what the government is up against. Finding a needle in a hay-factory. The use of a magnifying glass has helped keep this country safe. How many real terrorist attacks have we suffered since 9/11? Since the Patriot Act?

The biggest group this legislature threatens are non-citizens as well as members of hardcore/extremist islamic groups (which seem to be synonymous with anti-american sentiment). These are the same people Kerry wants to make U.S. Citizens tomorrow (or so he says).

I believe ice was asking how you stop suicide bombers from attacking the public. The only way to do that is to take a step towards totalitarianism. Watch The Siege if you haven't already. That's exactly how it's done. Do you want your petty freedoms that are never compromised or do you want saftey and security? Sorry, until the FBI starts doing bogus stuff with the Patriot Act like rounding up U.S. Citizens (I underline that because most that have been rounded up are not citizens of this country) that don't carry traits of an islamic terrorist, then it's existance is a plus when I can come home and not turn on the TV to see mass hysteria because terrorists have blown up Wallstreet or shot hundreds of children in the back.
