Bush’s Medicare reform
Quoted text written by: Jane Cushing, the Penobscot County chair of Seniors for Bush-Cheney ’04.

“Do American seniors believe a man who spent 19 years in the Senate without displaying leadership on any issue, including health care, possesses the principled commitment needed to bring about change as president? Nineteen years in the Senate should serve as a resume of leadership on health care initiatives for Kerry rather than a resume of missed votes and missed opportunities to help Americans gain access to quality and affordable health care.

Fear tactics don’t stand up to President Bush’s principled leadership that delivers results. Maybe when Kerry returns to the Senate he will seize upon a second chance to actually accomplish something on health care, unless he is still financially beholden to his trial lawyer supporters preventing him from advancing real reform.”

I don’t understand how Kerry/Edwards can say that they are in favor of medical reforms to protect against frivolous lawsuits when Edwards made all of his money from those same frivolous lawsuits. Kerry taxes and Edwards sues, a combination that I’m not voting for.

Weapons of Mass Discussion: 20 Reasons for 4 More Years

Here’s a list of 10 reasons to vote FOR George W. Bush and 10 reasons NOT to vote for John Kerry that were written by Matt Hurley on the above site:

10 Reasons to Vote FOR Bush

• Tax Cuts: A pro-growth agenda is best for our economy. Job creation is a side effect of having more money in the investment system.
• Patriot Act: Vital legislation for homeland security.
• Judicial Nominees: It is absolutely vital that we get judges on the bench who are not activists.
• No Child Left Behind: Amazing legislation that brings accountability to our nation’s schools. It must be protected and enhanced.
• Medical Liability Reform: The key to the health care crisis. How many stories have we heard where doctors are leaving their practices because of high malpractice insurance costs running them out of business. [Kerry/Edwards can’t be for Medical Liability Reform because Edwards is one of the lawyers who is the cause of outrageously high malpractice insurance].
• Social Security Accounts: A great approach for a program in dire straits. President Bush has promised no changes for those in the system or those about to retire.
• Health Care Savings Accounts: A vast improvement over any socialized medicine scheme.
• Clear Skies Initiative: Reductions in power plant emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and mercury by 70 percent while providing help the states meet tougher air quality standards sounds like a good idea to me.
• Opportunity Zones: This initiative encourages private and public investment within needy communities. In exchange for reducing local barriers to growth and development, these Opportunity Zones would receive tax benefits to encourage businesses to locate, invest, and hire new workers in the community. The plan includes incentives to spur the development of residential construction. These areas will also receive priority consideration for Federal education, job training, and housing funding.
• Maintaining Integrity of Strategic Oil Reserves: The President would never tap into the reserves unless he were required to do so for strategic purposes, not political reasons.

10 Reasons to Vote AGAINST Kerry

• Foreign Policy: Kerry actually thinks that the United Nations is still relevant.
• Taxes: Kerry has a record of raising taxes.
• Health Care: The Kerry health plan would draw much of the private health insurance market into a nationwide “health alliance” created and tightly regulated by the federal government.
• Economy: Kerry supports the Kyoto Accords.
• Jobs: Kerry’s New Job Tax Credit won’t work. It will reward companies who laid workers off and rehire rather than companies who didn’t lay off workers.
• School Choice: Kerry voted no on school vouchers back in 1996. No reason to think he’s for it today.
• Immigration: Kerry wanted to grant amnesty to anyone over the age of 5 or 6. (Sept 2003)
• Energy: Kerry says he wants America to be less dependent on foreign oil, yet does not support drilling in ANWR.
• Humanity: Kerry voted NO on banning human cloning. (Feb. 1998) [I wish that human cloning be made illegal but that cloning of organs be developed and legalized].
• Kerry would make volunteerism a graduation requirement instead of a personal offering of self. (“100 Days to Change America”)

The Opinionated Bastard: Bush: Because I believe in Evil

“One of the things that struck me about the Republican convention vs. the Democratic convention was that the Republican party is willing to stand up and say that terrorism is evil. I watched and waited for the Democrats to take a stand. I watched and waited for Kerry to take a stand. To this date, Kerry has yet to do so.

We know where President Bush stands. [But], even at this point in the campaign, we still don’t know where Kerry stands. He has carefully avoided any commitment to leaving Iraq as a democratic state. In fact, he’s avoided all commitments when it comes to foreign policy. He’s avoided taking questions from major reporters for 40 days now. He offers the Russian people sympathy and prayers instead of tough talk on terrorism.”

I’m voting for George W. Bush because I want the United States to be tough on terrorists and not rely on the UN to protect our own country.

Bush Maintains Lead in Post-ABC News Poll (washingtonpost.com)

“President George W. Bush maintains a clear lead over Democrat John F. Kerry and continues to be perceived by most voters as the candidate best able to deal with Iraq and the war on terrorism, according to the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll [September 27, 2004].

Bush currently receives 51 percent among likely voters while Kerry gets 45 percent and independent Ralph Nader receives 1 percent. Among all registered voters, Bush holds a seven-point advantage.

Kerry continues to be viewed unfavorably by a plurality of voters. Fewer than four in 10 voters — 37 percent — say they have a positive impression of him, while 42 percent have an unfavorable impression of him. That finding suggests more people intend to vote for him than personally like him and highlights the fact that Kerry continues to be buoyed by a strong anti-Bush vote despite broad reservations about him.”

Vamos!! This is what I like to hear.
