Kerry can do it . A lot of campaigners might leave their impression at that, which can be smart considering that people disagree so much on the issues. If you allow me, I'll go it alone here and deal with issues. I'm just a graduate student, but seriously, if we base elections on being less and less informed, America will not be free. There's more and more information at johnkerry.com these days.
Anyone want to read this or just start up your own post like you started this thread?
I'm just going straight from johnkerry.com and many things I have checked up.
John Kerry didn't have a Republican contender in 2002. He's formidable. How about trustworthy?
I've listened to the pundits flinging mud and often blood and by and large I have found Kerry to not be despicable. I have found Bush to be despicable when I look at Bush's words and his actions. www.misleader.org has helped me materialize my feelings that he just isn't honest and sometimes doesn't even offer the right things anyway.
What promises can't Kerry Keep? You guys can chime in too; the biggest three I dread are on World Trade, Education, Toxic Waste, the Debt, and Urban Development after that whole racial identity crisis hypestyle brought up. (yeah it's like 6). On World Trade, I'm partly pacified because I went to the WTO web site and it indicated that they largely listen and follow Americas input. True? Could be. America has the earliest Constitution and still has religion with it's religious freedom. It's got charitable people. I think countries will still listen maybe up to the WTO; they'll like Kerry's academic prestige.
Education is real crucial to the future, whether we go to war for 15 years or not. "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free...". Thomas Jefferson concluded that statement well. I've heard unanimously hard frustration from No Child Left Behind from teachers, and there's www.firepaige.com, but I'll focus on Kerry. I like the National Service idea - even if it does derive from Skull & Bones. Learning to assist the community is a healthy part of a balanced education. He promises no questions asked mandatory school funding ... what's sad is that the schools themselves can abuse it. I will take an active part in my community to protest anything I see going on about this. If the funding gets to the students it will largely help. He says he'll fix the one-size-fits-all testing in No Child Left Behind that teachers tell me they don't like.
Toxic Waste - he said he'll help the Yucca Mountain citizens who don't want Toxic Waste there. What's he going to do with it? I have no idea but if he puts it where it can be dug up in 100 years and it's deep enough to cause no effects but not so deep we'll be sick of having to dig it back up I'm not worried.
The National Debt - this is the biggest thing I doubt him on - that he can pay it down - I smile nervously and say that if people learn to think in terms of the things they are doing and not the money they are using money is the least problem. If the US Dollar plunges because we took too much, we deserve it and we can survive internally. That would bite but it's fair. That John Titor guy said we have too much excess. I wish taxpayers weren't so greedy... he's offering a tax cut for the middle class! sad, if it's not much and the middle class can cope better, well I don't know. Some middle class people who work a job they consider morally wrong to feed their children who are somewhat bound to the same which sadden me. It saddens me how bound people can make themselves to having no opportunity to support positive development, like people who burn up credit card debt and buy these houses they can't afford.
Urban Development: anyone here who understands this better than me maybe can tell me what they think about http://www.johnkerry.com/issues/urban/ .
Will he do enough for the environment? The environment is a big problem. People need to band together about it I think.
