Haha, he is a big government liberal. Gauging from the MASSIVE size of his unwieldy election committees he thinks he needs all the help he can get. My single question, will this huge pre government translate into a huge government? Everyone knows the problems caused by this now (just read) but what will this cause if the government balloons to this level.
Some quotes for the libs who are too lazy to read everything...
From a tightknit group of experienced advisers, John F. Kerry's presidential campaign has grown exponentially in recent months to include a cast literally of thousands, making it difficult to manage an increasingly unwieldy policy apparatus.
The campaign now includes 37 separate domestic policy councils and 27 foreign policy groups, each with scores of members. The justice policy task force alone includes 195 members. The environmental group is roughly the same size, as is the agriculture and rural development council. Kerry counts more than 200 economists as his advisers.
In contrast, President Bush (news - web sites)'s campaign policy shop is a no-frills affair. Policy director Tim Adams directs about a dozen experts who make sure the campaign is in sync with the vast executive branch that is formulating policy.
One campaign aide, speaking only on condition of anonymity because he feared angering task force members, said even the team names have developed "their own microdynamics." One task force is still arguing whether it should be titled the council on babies, children and youth or just children and youth.
According to Bianchi, Kerry had to contend with three different power centers -- Boston, New York and Washington -- in formulating his signature, $653 billion health care plan. The Boston group was pushing federally mandated health care coverage from employers. David Cutler, a health care economist at New York University, led a push to mandate individuals to buy insurance. Harvard University health policy expert Robert Blendon insisted that any policy offering would be a political trap and that Kerry should serve up only broad principles.
No wonder why Kerry can't define issues or direction. He is being told (not thinking on his own) exactly what he should do. Problem is that there are interal issues pulling him literally in hundreds of different directions. Even worse, some members are getting angry. It would be bad to have an internal mutiny this close to an election.
Further evidence that Kerry is really a complete idiot, so stupid in fact that he has no clue as to where he personally stands on any issue.
