I'm not saying Bush is trouncing Kerry, I'm saying he has surged while Kerry is flat, which is what polls and pundits say. Don't get jittery and desperate, and I'm not buying that all polls that show Bush up are skewed, adn all polls that don't are correct. Even if that were true, the fact that they have gone up from previous scores indicates a trend.
Yes BBond, a dovish Lib. He was anti-Vietnam war, for massive UN control over our foreign policy, against the military build up of the 80s, against star wars, FOR a nuclear freeze, against Gulf War 1, consistently voted against most major armaments, the CIA, and intelligence. He's been a liberal senator from Massachusetts and no friend of the military.
Boomark my last post, that's how it is folks 😉
Bush's numbers have been dropping since the Republican hate-fest. The polls are skewed so Bush can justify the theft of his second election. They can point to their skewed pre-election poll results and claim the polls were right all along.
Kerry was in combat in Vietnam. Where was Bush?
What "massive UN control over foreign policy"? I understand you prefer no control to the point of making up information to attack a nation that isn't a threat, so coming from that far out in right field, just what do you call "massive UN control" anyway?
Dick Cheney took responsibility for the defense cuts but he, his party, and apparently his supporters seem to have election stimulated amnesia about it now.
Star Wars was a boondoggle when Reagan proposed it and it still doesn't work. It needlessly escalated the nuclear arms race and wasted billions of dollars. It will cost upwards of $25 billion for 2005/2006. Bush was fixated on missile defense when he was being warned about terrorism, which he ignored. Wise decision in retrospect?
Bush hasn't given up and he's still underfunding Homeland Security while Bechtel and others make billions on missile defense that has to be 'choreographed' to hit anything but the ocean under the test site.
Is there any sane human being AGAINST a nuclear freeze???! Oh, Bush. He wants a new class of battle field nuclear weapons that can actually be used in combat.
Kerry voted against the first Gulf war because he believed diplomatic efforts hadn't been exhausted and Bush1 was rushing to war. The story U.S. Ambassador April Gilespie taking Bush's message to Saddam that the U.S. had no opinion on Arab/Arab conflicts and that America was not associated with Kuwait giving Saddam the green light he was looking for since he believed Kuwait was part of Iraq anyway. The results of the 1991 Gulf War were dubious at best. At least Bush1 knew enough not to go into Baghdad. If only his son had known as much.
I'm sick of people who use the word 'liberal' as a pejorative. Liberals ideals were the force behind the creation of the middle class. Liberals brought us out of the Great Depression and improved the lot of millions of American workers. After witnessing what so called 'conservatives' have done over the past four years, I much prefer a liberal.
And what do you people have against the great state of Massachusettes? The birthplace of the revolution. A state that contributes far more to America in tax dollars than they get in return. The neocon habit of dividing Americans is really deplorable. But I suppose it's the only way you people can win as a radical, marginalized minority.
