Critical Points To Consider For Choosing
The Next US President

The election on November 2nd will be one of the most critical elections in the history of both America and the world. Here are some crucial key points to consider before making your final decision: National Defense: Good intelligence is what we need to win the war on terror and to prevent another 9/11… the 9/11 Commission determined that with clarity. Senator Kerry supported ripping the funding from intelligence organizations through the ‘90s so they could not do their job to prevent 9/11. The FBI and the CIA couldn’t even compare notes on the suspected terrorists because of the legal infrastructure implemented in the mid-‘90s that did not allow them to exchange information (often called “the wall”). We would have been able to put the pieces of the puzzle together if not for these two critical issues. Kerry’s national defense voting record, and hindsight, proves without a doubt that Senator Kerry was wrong on almost every account. In fact, based on his voting record, if Senator John Kerry was making those decisions as President, America would have been in a far graver position facing the war on terror than what 9/11 served us with. Is that a risk you would be willing to take? Economics: A free market economy outwits a government economy. We, the people, can do a better job of managing our valued money more so than a government desk clerk who is counting the minutes until 5pm and yawning on the phone while discussing our life savings. Senator Kerry is attempting to take President Bush’s tax cuts and twist it to sound like tax cuts for the rich for his political gain… President Bush’s tax cuts target those who run businesses who can employ more people. Small business is the backbone to a healthy economy and low unemployment rates.

Foreign Policy: Senator John Kerry wants a “global test” to determine what the U.S. does. If the UN Oil-For-Food Program had not been riddled in corruption resulting in $12 billion embezzled from the mouths of Iraqi children, involving countries like France… if the UN had just done its job of imposing sanctions and not being bought out by Saddam, we would never have had to go to war in the first place. Senator Kerry wanted to entrust 130,000 of our soldiers to what has now, through official and independent investigation, become known as the “Friends of Saddam.” I would live in grave fear of the U.S. military being under the rule of any other power besides the power of those with America’s interest at heart... American rule.

It is very basic, but wise strategy, to not seek guidance and approval from those who have a fundamental conflict of interest as Senator Kerry proposes we do in the international community. Senator Kerry’s foreign policy to date has been to criticize those who do support us and to win over those who, under any circumstances, philosophically oppose us. May I suggest, a bird in the hand is better than two vultures in the bush. We need to be able to rely on countries that have stood alongside the principles of liberty and freedom. We should not determine our foreign policy around those countries that have a proven track record that they cannot be relied upon but want to influence our decisions to better their own circumstances. America needs a President who stands steadfast in these turbulent times, standing up to our enemy instead of allowing our enemies to determine our future security....
President Putin obviously understands what is at stake after making this statement during the past week, “International terrorism has as its goal to prevent the election of President Bush to a second term. If they achieve that goal, then that will give international terrorism a new impulse and extra power." International Herald Tribune

On life: You can debate all you like on government involvement and I am all for keeping government out of my life, BUT at the point when someone’s rights inflict harm on another is when we need government intervention and law on any issue, whether it be rape, theft, murder, or the protection of babies. If we remove ourselves from the “right or wrong” argument and really sit down and think about it, the womb is just a stage of growth for a baby like a little baby growing teeth or learning how to walk and talk. If you can tell if it is a little boy or little girl at 16 weeks, at the very least, it doesn’t seem to be a question at that point. A baby is a baby whether it is in or out of the womb. A baby in a woman’s tummy needs the same protection as someone would have if they were outside of the womb. An abortion, or ending of a baby’s life, is when a baby’s rights are unquestionably infringed upon over the inconvenience of another’s. The right of a baby is the honest choice.

If I’m wrong, it would be far better to err on the side of caution and not murder an innocent child. Babies really need us to protect them too. Senator Kerry supports partial birth abortions, which is nothing other than ghoulish… no matter which way you look at it. If the baby was born late term it would be a little bundle of joy in one couple’s family or have its brains sucked out so it would come out dead in another family who just decided “they didn’t want it”, which is unquestionably murder. We want the children of America protected from those who just don’t seem to know that they don’t know. It is our personal responsibility to protect the lives of the innocent. The President has power over that issue and it is a huge decision to make to give power to a President who would support partial birth abortion.

Senator Kerry has been wrong and inconsistent on so many issues. It will be a grave day for the fate of America if the liberal senator from Massachusetts is elected to one of the single most powerful positions in the world. Protect our future. Vote President Bush.

A baby is a baby whether it is in or out of the womb.

If you might be pregnant what happens if you don't intervene. If you do absolutely nothing then there is no way you can be guilty of any crime.

Why is it that the same people that will not intervene to fight true injustice, that will say we should use the U.N. and not interfere with mass genocide and repression of freedom, are the very same who can't wait within their own body. Where is the peace and social justice for the unborn that you yourself created? Where is your tolerance of this humans life? Go ahead use your peaceful means. Use the little U.N. ideals you cherish inside your mind. Put sanctions on the baby within, talk to it, tell it to cease and desist, send it angry letters and threats. But don't you dare use force that would be against your very own principles.

Kerry insists he will raise tax only on "the rich", but that is only for income tax. What about all the other taxes? Gas, cigaretts, alcohol, capital gains, death, etc. The poor need to be reminded of this. As a voter put out his cigatte walking into the polling place, ask him if he thinks Kerry will raise cigarette taxes.
