I think D makes a good point here, this shouldn't be about whose adds trash who more or who spends more to promote themselves and which 527 will do what to discredit the other guy, it should be about who is better qualified to do what this country needs right now and how they intend to do it. I'm not a Bush lover and I might vote for someone else if someone else wouold stand up and say here is the problem, here is my strategy and plan and why it will work and why its better. Can't expect reasonable people to put you in office without telling why they should other than the other guy sucks. I'm getting sick of the whole thing but I have this morbid fascination to keep tabs on how the campaigns are run. Seems blatantly obviuous what each guys needs to do to win this (obvious to me at least for what that is worth) but neither seems willijng or able to do it. I think we need to run dzervit in 08, i'll manage the campaign.

What Bush needs to do to win: dump Cheney pick up a moderate republican running mate, fire Rumsfeld and lay as much blame as you can for the mess in Iraq at his feet. Shake up the cabinet with people who are respected but might not always agree with him to show that you can fix mistakes of the past and listen to dissenting opinions.

What Kerry needs to do to win: stop telling us how bad Bush is and tell us why he is better and lay out details about how you intend to fix what you say Bush has screwed up. Stop trying to play to every angle and pick a stand on important subjects like the war and stick with it, no more flip flops or indecisiveness.

Maybe i'm crazy but I honestly think that either candidate could help themselves out a lot by the above actions and in a race as close as this one will be it should be enough to get elected.

Can’t let this one pass me by…

First the entire phrase I use is:

”Give a man a fish, feeds him for a day” Liberals
“Teach a man to fish, feeds him for a lifetime” Conservative


As far as the outsourcing goes we need to clear up this myth that many liberals like to sling around and act as they have no blame what so ever.

So here we go, ready?

First, one must understand why jobs get outsourced and if people are honest with themselves and actually look at the facts you will find “profit” is last on the list. So why do jobs get outsourced overseas or to another country?

First, for a company to remain competitive and keep as many people employed as they can they have to be able to compete with the “other guy”. For a company to be competitive they have to be able to sale their product as cheaply as possible.

Why must they sale their product for as cheap as possible? Because the vast majority of Americans including the vast majority of liberals have DEMANDED that. That is the fact and there is no way around it, Americans, the vast majority of them, do NOT care where a product is made so long as they get it for as cheap as possible. Therefore the top problem is the vast majority of us.

Second, taxes paid. The more taxes a business has to pay the less money they make, the less money they have for research and development, the less money they have to buy capital equipment, and the less money to hire more employees. So, how to solve this problem? Lower the tax burden placed on businesses and it will help free money and will provide MORE money into the federal coffers that is a fact and always has been.

Third, employee wages. We here in America make some damn good money regardless the job, we are some of the highest paid individuals in the world and it is that evil employer who pays your wages and has to figure that cost into the product you make. Therefore we need to cut wages across the board. Do you think the union workers will approve a 40% cut in pay? Do you think the average non-union worker will approve a 40% cut in pay?

Your damn right they won’t and therefore your third problem is wages. So we have three big problems that need to be addressed and you could solve sending some jobs, maybe most jobs overseas and they are:

1. Americans need to stop screwing other Americans by buying and demanding the lowest prices possible.

2. Reduce the tax burden to business.

3. Cut employee wages by 40%.

I wonder how many of those problems the liberals are ready to tackle rather then whining about jobs being lost overseas, as you can see liberals play a big part in the problem so will they actually do something to correct it or just keep it for a nice issue.

We will NEVER keep all our jobs in America as long as the average American demands the highest pay possible and goods/products at the lowest price possible. It’s not possible and no one can prove to me that this is completely businesses fault for major profits. Yes they have to make a good profit or there would be no reason to be in business but they are not raking in 40% - 50% profit as liberals would have you believe…

It will always be true:

”If it’s good for America it’s bad for liberals…”
If it’s good for America it’s most likely a conservative idea and solution…”

I just have to do a drive-by posting. Kerry was on the radio this morning and in a matter of 1 minute I heard him flip-flop three times. The general gist was I have voted for every bill supporting the military. Then he stated I didn't vote for one for "some lame excuse I don't remember" a long time ago('80's or early '90's i think). Then he stated he had voted for all military bills except the one mentioned above and the ones which cost too much or would threaten to increase the national debt.

Other than that the only thing I got out of it was he seemed very hostile and not presedential in his demeanor at all. Although the interviewers were hitting him with some hard questions. Such as the fact that they had receive an overwhelming number of e-mails from people who disapproved of Kerry and they asked him some of the questions being asked by the uh voters. Imagine that a candidate getting angry because the voters are asking him tough questions.

That is funny…

I just heard that on the news and the interview was with Imus in the morning. Imus is a Kerry supporter but was stating during the interview he felt like banging his head on the table because he couldn’t understand a damn thing Kerry was talking about…

What is extremely sad is a major news organization, CBS continuing to run a story based on false documents, fraud, lies etc. For CBS is don’t really matter what the truth is. As you can tell they are a HUGE Kerry supporter, and anti-American…

”If Kerry is the answer, it must have been a really stupid question…”
