A Vote for Kerry/Edwards is like a Check in the Mail

Gadsden Times: "The Associated Press
A list of promises and pledges in John Kerry's Thursday night speech:

Recruit allies to help rebuild Iraq.

Sure, they'll be eager to send their soldiers to Iraq & Afghanistan

Add 40,000 active duty troops, including a doubling of special forces to fight terrorism.

How will the jump in enlistment come about? Will the Draft be re-instated?

Immediately implement the recommendations of the Sept. 11 commission to improve America's security.

Oh, you mean President Bush would ignore the recommendations?

Will not privatize Social Security or cut benefits.

Great. What about the looming deficit?

Create incentives to revitalize manufacturing and invest in job-creating technology and innovation.

Like tax breaks? Isn't President Bush trying to revitalize manufacturing and the job scene?

Eliminate tax incentives that encourage companies to ship jobs overseas and reward companies that keep and create jobs in the United States.

Excellent! Spot on.

Enforce protections for American workers in trade agreements.

Good

Cut the deficit in half in four years.

Wow, the Kerry/Edwards team will emulate master magician Houdini. They will pull rabbits out of their hats, wave a magic wand, cut middle-class taxes, reduce the tax burden on small businesses,plus give a tax credits for college tuition, while adding 40,000 active duty troops, including a doubling of special forces to fight terrorism [these additional troops will be paid, right?]...but they won't touch Social Security [how will Kerry deal with the Federal Reserve Board and Alan Greenspan?] Didn't Kerry promise a phenomenal health care package similar to the ones that Senators have?
Kerry also reinforced Ron Reagan's visions of Snake Oil Cures which will provide miracles cures to everyone.

Repeal Bush's tax cuts for people making more than $200,000 a year.

Will that finance all of the above without dealing with the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, without touching Social Security?

Save families up to $1,000 on health care premiums by cracking down on waste and abuse in the system; ensure patients can chose their own doctors; allow Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices for seniors; and allow Americans to buy less expensive prescription drugs from other countries.

You want Americans to buy prescription drugs from places like Mexico and Canada? Why not institute a system so that Americans can buy more affordable prescription drugs manufactured within the United States. Let's change the laws on generic regulations to start.
Ooh, Kerry/Edwards' visions of healthcare sound so promising, but the details are still vague. Oh, yes, they could deliver a new healthcare system but remember, the Devil is in the details. What the voters have in mind may or may not materialize.

Invest in vehicles that run on alternative fuels and other energy-saving technology.

Well, you can see from this excerpt from Kerry: 'I can beat George Bush' that Kerry would like to impose environmental restrictions upon everyone else as long as his family gets to drive the SUVs & minivans.
Hey, the only reason why Rhianna lists the SUV issue here, is because previously Kerry denied owning an SUV, made a big deal about his proposed regulations, but then did the flip-flop dance routine later when the question was asked of him again:

"Q: In 2002, you co-sponsored legislation to raise the fuel economy standards for trucks and SUVs to 36 miles per gallon by 2015, up from the current 20.7. How would this help the auto industry increase jobs?

A: Setting mandatory fuel economy standards has been used for the purpose of trying to safeguard our future environment. I support improvements in those standards, but I’m not locked into a particular number of miles per gallon or a particular formula. I’d be crazy if I want to set up a structure that’s going to automatically lose us jobs.

Q: What kind of vehicles does your family drive?

A: We have some SUVs. We have a Jeep. We have a couple of Chrysler minivans. We have a PT Cruiser up in Boston. I have an old Dodge 600 that I keep in the Senate. ... We also have a Chevy, a big Suburban."
