What Bush vs Kerry is really all about

Thanks Jim, you summed it very well. I agree, the most relevant statement of Kerry's post Vietnam experience is that Kerry has said that he does not think that the US armed forces should ever be deployed except under the auspices of the UN.

The only reply to your post, especially in this thread.

You cannot see the forest, for the trees.!!!

Bush will appoint judges who will abide by the Constitution.

Sure he will. He's had 3+ years and a majority in both houses.

[fish hawk]

the word "AMEN" comes to mind.

[Cold Heat]

A big bump to that!

Four more is a necessity, not a option.

It is going to be tough because the American Public has a habit of spreading the power around.

As they, (as a group) see it, the Republicans control it all.

Actually we only control the house, the Senate is infested with too many rats.

It is going to take all of us to win.

Both of you have given me more lines to use against those who come here to try to convince us that the only thing to do is to vote for anyone BUT Pres. Bush.

Thanks for the succinct and truthful statements.

I'm now armed and ready!!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Outstanding post, Jim. Thank you so much.

We don't have a plan.

Assuming what you say is true, and I think it is, that "Either we re-elect President Bush or we allow President Kerry and the Democrats to surrender our national sovereignty ..." we are really doomed.

Why, because the situation we are in is like a zip tie around your wrist. It's already too tight to slip off and it only goes in one direction - tighter.

In a similar way the socialism is always being ratcheted up, tighter and tighter. Bush is better than Kerry, but to maintain political viability he's already created a future trillion dollar entitlement (which eventually will require tax rises to pay for). He's already proposed a near-amensty for 9 million illegals, which will forever alter the very fabric of America.

So of course I will vote for Bush, its the decent thing to do. But I have a very strong sense that I am participating in my own demise. I've been told you can tighten that zip-tie around your wrist down one notch or two. Sure I'll pick one. But if I really want my freedom back I'm going to have to find some wire cutters soon, or admit that I am tied up tight with no hope of freeing myself.

The opinion that we might as well get it over with seemed absurd to me when I heard it in 2000, now I at least understand it.

You rock!

Either we re-elect President Bush or we allow President Kerry and the Democrats to surrender our national sovereignty, our national security and our national defense to the United Nations and other so-called world government bodies.

I wonder how many Americans really want to surrender our national security to the UN?

Knowing half the nations represented are run by dictators and leftist leaders who dispise the US and would love to see us destroyed?

When it comes to this issue alone, Americans would have to be insane to reject Bush and elect Kerry.

[LibKill]

Bush, definately Bush.

Ketchup-boy Kerry would be a disaster of immense proportion. I don't want him running things.

[gatorbait]

Beautifully and eloquently written.Starkly simple in message, yet deadly honest.This is the single most important election cycle in sixty-four years. Without the main reasons to reelect the President, War on evil, conservative Judges and Justices ,being kept on course,all the rhetoric of other concerns becomes academic and shrilly immaterial. Staying home or voting for a third party protest waste is tantamount to voting for suicide .

Jim, again, thank you for the plain truth.

PS Maybe this is why Kerry had such a tough time answering that question in the Dem debate the other night, re Do you take responsibility for your vote on Iraq? He really did not want to say he takes responsibility for it, as John Edwards noticed. I just don't think someone like that can actually be president.

Oh for corn's sake, Fred. AND A SENATE THAT IS FILABUSTERING EVERY NOMINATION. And you should know that Fred.

[AppauledAtAppeasementConservat]

"They will be happier if we are on equal footing with France/Germany and North Korea"

Equal footing? That's too nice of an assesment if you ask me. We've had forty years to see the Democrat version of equality.

Jim,

You're getting better and better at laying things out in plain English do even J.D. Salilnger's "fat lady" can't miss the point. As they say in Australia, good on ya, copper.

NICE SUMMARY

[dix]

Jimrob,
This post should be submitted at least to The Washington Times. It is a brilliant analysis of the situation.

[summer]

Unfortunately, I think this will accurately sum up this campaign season: "[a] hullabaloo regarding the thirty some odd year old service records of the two candidates and all the other hysterical, hypocritical, hyperbolic horse hockey...."

[PhiKapMom]

Unbelieveable -- the House of Representatives has zero to do with the appointing of Judges plus the DemocRATs have declared it will take 60 votes to pass some judges in the Senate. Last I checked we had a bare majority but that was Bush's fault too I guess?
