Hey Allan:

Ive been reading The Kerry Plan for America that you recommended but came across some things that sound Bushian.

What are your thoughts on these statements?:

Page 10

Today, we face three great challenges above all others:

first, to win the global war against terror; second, to

stop the spread of nuclear, biological, and chemical

weapons; and third, to promote democracy, development,

and freedom around the world, starting by winning

the peace in Iraq.

Page 12

We will always be prepared to use military force to

defeat terrorists before they strike at us. We will ensure

that the worlds best fighting forces are trained and

equipped to seek out and destroy terrorists and their networks,

and effectively conduct the operations necessary

to deny them sanctuary.

page 17

We need a new military to meet the new threats of the

21st century. Todays American military is the best in the

world, but tomorrows military must be better still

stronger, faster, better armed, and never again stretched

so thin.

page 36

We support effective and peaceful strategies to end

the Castro regime as soon as possible and enable the

Cuban people to take their rightful place in the democratic

Community of the Americas. We will work with

the international community to increase political and

diplomatic pressure on the Castro regime to release all

political prisoners, support civil society, promote the

important work of Cuban dissidents, and begin a process

of genuine political reform. We support a policy of principled

travel to Cuba that promotes family unity and

people-to-people contacts through educational and cultural

exchanges.

Why on earth would you think ANYONE with mainstream views and a true love of this country would not approve of these statements. You picked out a few PLATITUDES, perhaps a bit trite, but honest and generally correct. Saying and DOING are two different things. Bush has proven to me that he speaks with a forked tongue. I am hoping Kerry is not.

"I am hoping Kerry is not."

You're a hopeless case, Allan.

Kerry is all talk!

Perhaps! But I already KNOW that Bush is about 90% lies and bullsh!t!

[scott0527]

Wow, Allan, you're coming around. You're giving Bush credit for telling the truth 10% of the time.

[neo33]

Wow! There might be some chance for Allan. He's leaning to the right about 6 degrees.

I would vote based on what their current plans for the government, not wether they did a drug or had a bad service record in the military. If people knew how horrible Einstein was in school nobody would have believed his theorys, so try not to base who your decision on who you will vote for on the fact that they likes to smoke a little back in the days or not releasing their personal records.

[hooting_monkey]

And BTW, all presidents lie. They cheat, they lie, they backstab. We just need to find one that knows how to do it all properly.

[boomac]

Like the 60 minutes show, the rumage sale was a bust. They had some old Fisher Speakers that were rotten. Like the show as well. A ton of LPs but again, like the show, they were old, scrachy and tired. Last but not least, they had an old receiver but, get this, it would only play AM!

[Parrot]

There are two great things about Kerry's views:

1) If you don't like a particular point of his platform, not to worry, because it will be different within a couple of weeks. (With the exception of raising taxes. Kerry is consistent that he will raise taxes.)

2) If you are anti-war, you can hope that Kerry is lying when he acts hawkish, that he is only trying to con Middle Americans, and that he is really a cut-and-run peacenik. But a lot of Lefties have already given up on their wishful-thinking, especially since Kerry said he would have voted for the war even knowing that large caches of WMD would not be found. So maybe there's only one great thing about his views--they change so quickly that all you have to do is wait a little while and he's bound to agree with something that you think.

Outstanding observations Parrot!!!!!!!!!!
