Shan,

In my mind the difference between the two presidential candidates is clear. Bush is clearly the more conservative of the two. He is against abortion, gun control, government run health care and he is for small government, less taxes and capitalism. As one who believes in capitalism, Bush is interested in stimulating the economy by letting people determine how they spend their money and making sure that they have more of it to spend by taxing them less.

Kerry is for abortion, gun control, government run health care. He is very socialist in that he believes the government should do more for the American people and that the American people should be taxed to pay for these things. He favors and promotes inequality among classes in that he believes the rich should have to pay a greater percentage of their income in taxes. Kerry, according to his congressional voting record, is the most liberal senator in America. He is trying to appear to be more of a centrist or conservative democrat but his record exposes his attempts for what they are - political opportunism / flip-floping.

I surely hope you will support Bush. We do not need an amoral, liberal socialist as our President.

[shanstress70]

Kevin,

I consider myself a fence-sitter. I'm right-leaning on some issues, such as gun rights and pro-life.

On the other hand, I'm pro-gay marriage. I'm not for the rich men in ties (tax cuts for big business). And although I think it was a good idea to go into Iraq to make sure they didn't have WMD, I don't approve of what's going on there now. I think outsourcing is a bad idea; actually DH doesn't have a job b/c of it, and now, my job is in danger. It seems that our country is in a big CF right now. (Sorry if you don't know what that means, and I can't tell you on this board.)

Frankly, I'm scared at the thought of having Kerry as president for some of the reasons you stated. But at least there is a chance that he may do something better than Bush has. Bush hasn't really admitted to doing anything incorrectly, which means it will be more of the same in the next 4 years. That said, maybe it's best to keep Bush in. Surely it couldn't get much worse with him. But, Kerry may be worse!

I'm not interested in arguing these points. I pretty much agree with what's said against each of them. Just trying to take it all in and make my own best-informed decision.

[helgaboy]

I don't belive things will be worse when Kerry is President. For the mere fact that Bush has been the worst president this country has ever seen. For too Long poloticians have kept office simply for being the lesser of two evils it is time americans voted out those who do not fulfill their promises. Bush also Lies to the American people so if you want a liar in office he is who you vote for. whereas you are a fencesitter maybe you should go to this website and get some more info for yourself.

Then again, young people tend to sense the actual character of "grown-ups." I agree with Helgaboy. Bush needs to be a liar, if only to cover up the mess he's put this country in.

Kerry Right For Mormons Dot Com

[Kevin]

Shan, I understand you don't want to argue but do you mind a little discussion?

IF you're pro-gay marriage then Kerry is your man as far as that goes. You mentioned that you're not for the rich men in ties or tax cuts for big business. There's an interesting tax system in our country that in my experience as a CPA, very very few Americans understand. The system is one where those who make more money pay a progressively higher tax rate on their taxable income - its called a graduated tax.

For example, the lowest tax bracket is 10%. Those with taxable income from 0$ to $14,000 (2003 tax year) pay 10% or $1,400. Thoes with taxable income from $14,001 to $56,800 pay 15% on that amount or $6,420 plus the prior $1,400 for a total of $7,820. These are referred to as the 10% and 15% tax brackets. The effective tax rate for those in the lower bracket is 10% while the effective tax rate for those in the next higher bracket is 13.77%. This description can be taken out through the remaining tax brackets of 25%, 28%, 33% and 35%. Those who reach the 35% tax bracket will pay a minimum effective tax rate on their taxable income of 27.05%.

Prior to Bush's recent tax reductions the top bracket was 39.6% of taxable income. Here's my question to you and anyone else: How exactly is this fair? Why is it that the government has the right to charge those who earn/make more money, more taxes? How is that just? Why should I, who by my own perserverence and hard work and who by attending college and extensive training has been able to earn well, should then have to pay more taxes than somebody else who chooses to go another route making less money? If we are a capitalistic/free country and all men are created equal then we should be taxed fairly as well. Our current tax system is extremely socialistic -it is taking from the rich to give to the poor or, in other words, its the government forcing the rich to give to the poor instead of men having the freedom to choose.

The BIG LIE is when a jackass like Kerry comes along and says that all Bush wants to do is cut taxes on just the rich. It is a bold-faced lie. The graduated tax was cut at every bracket with the lower bracket receiving the largest cut - it went from 15% to 10%. The "rich" received a cut of 4.6% or those who were in the 39.6% bracket. There is nothing wrong with lowering taxes on those who contribute more to society in terms of economic production. The fact of the matter is such lowering of taxes does spur economic growth.

As for your comment about Bush not admitting to having not done anything incorrectly, I think you are mistaken. I've heard him on more than one occasion admit that he's made mistakes - he just doesn't admit to making the mistakes the Dems think he did so it doesn't get as much coverage.

Outsourcing:

Its really disengenuous of the Dems to blame outsourcing on Bush. Outsourcing has been steadily increasing for many many years. I remember studying the trends while getting my mba in the early 90s (Clinton's time). Outsourcing increased probably more than any other time under Clinton. While it sucks that your husband lost his job because of outsourcing, its going to continue, especially in the wake of 9/11 crippled economy. Business trying to stay alive will look for ways to decrease their costs and with wages being one of the largest financial burdens, depending on the industry, it only makes sense that they'd look for less expensive labor.

Funny thing is that Kerry himself prefers outsourcing at least when it comes to oil. He's more interested in Arab oil than American oil. He prefers that we remain dependent on many of our enemies for our oil instead of mining that that we already have and reducing our independence on others.

Here's a quote from a friend at a message board I frequent that you may find interesting.

Anyone familiar with the study of economics understands that increasing prosperity is dependent upon greater productivity. And this productivity results, as Adam Smith noted, from specialization and, as David Ricardo added, from comparative advantage. While these truths are well known among the economically literate, they don't make for nearly as good campaign sound bites as "Benedict Arnold CEO's" or "outsourcing American jobs."

So it is quite refreshing to hear a John Kerry advisor tell the truth, that outsourcing and trade in general are simply an extension of the productivity-boosting commercial activity that we engage in on a daily basis domestically and that artificially placing national boundaries on that activity is counterproductive. The Washington Post reports:

U.S. businesses understand the benefits and values of outsourcing, the [indian Finance] minister said, "For every dollar outsourced by the US business, it gets back five to ten dollars." This view was tacitly encouraged by none other than Strobe Talbott, a Kerry adviser and former top State Department official in the Clinton administration, who paid a visit to New Delhi last month.

Your comments are nothing that baseless assertions. Care to provide any proof of Bush's lies or do you just expect us to take your word for it? Put up or lose your credibility (if you have any).

The System Sucks

Why do people say "Bush is a liar" or "Kerry is immoral"? Maybe both are true...maybe neither are true. We are hardly in a position to judge them, basing our opinions off "liberal media" or the conservatively biased Fox News.

Maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle?

Maybe neither candidate will make a difference in the war on terror for better or worse?

Maybe we just don't know who has the better healthcare or economic plan?

Even if my vote counted (I live in Utah so it doesn't)...I wouldn't vote. I just hope for the best from the winner, and prepare for the worst.

This is not a true democracy. This is a country where a huge portion of the population does not vote, a huge portion of the voters don't understand the issues anyway, and where we really only have the choice of 2 parties, and nothing better.

The system sucks and serves only to divide the country 50/50 into what effectively amounts to two separate nations within the same borders. If things get any more polarized, or if the democrats and republicans managed to get together geographically, this nation would be in civil war.

Sad isn't it?

I've been saying something similar. I truly think that the way the system is now, no one who is mostly decent will ever be in the White House. I tend to agree with what you say about each side being correct in what they say about the other. That's why I say I need to figure out who is the lesser of the two evils.

I have had thoughts about not even voting, but I would feel guilty if I do not. I feel it is a right that I have, and it's a shame not to exercise that right... even if it doesn't really make a difference! I think NC is one of those states that is close though, so maybe it would.

Anyway, I'm watching the debates now... gotta go...

Bush: "Blah, blah, blah..."

Kerry: "Yada, yada, yada..."
