Pretty damning article in regards to the failed and moronic policies of J F'in Kerry.

I wish Pete DuPont could become President someday. It probably won't happen, but he's got his head firmly planted on his shoulders, and I think would make a good one.
Agreed. I dig his articles, they are ALWAYS right on the money.
If not for Jimmy Carter, the executive types would have performed even better. He alone probably accounted for a whole 1 point drop in rating.
An excellent review of the Poodle's various flips and flops. Anyone who believes that Kerry has changed his spots into stripes and vice versa, needs to read this article again.
Mr. Kerry's vision becomes no clearer when he looks ahead to future challenges. In 2004, for the first time in recent history, the federal government will have to use general revenue--about $45 billion, or 3.6% of federal income tax revenues--to pay Social Security and Medicare benefits. With the growing baby boomer retirement, Social Security's demand on outside tax revenues will quickly grow. Mr. Kerry is very concerned about Social Security, so what would he do to solve the problem? Reduce benefits? No. Raise the retirement age? No. Raise taxes? No. Impose means testing? No. Move the system to privately owned accounts so that retirement benefits can grow and federal revenue contributions are reduced? No again. On the most significant economic challenge of the coming decades, John Kerry has no vision, no goal, no response at all--not a good sign for a prospective leader of the United States.
