"He will strongly support U.S. troops and their mission...."

For the last 20 years Senator Kerry has voted against every major weapons system that has come before the Senate for a vote. I wonder how he intends to inspire our military forces in Iraq, after telling them they are fighting "the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time." He also helped President Clinton decimate our intelligence agencies by voting against funding for them.

Perhaps his weirdest stance is on outsourcing. It is the height of hypocrisy for him to criticize outsourcing overseas, when 60 percent of his wife's manufacturing plants are located abroad.

I could vote for a Democrat, but not this Democrat. As an Independent, I can't relate to people who will vote for any party standard-bearer, just because of their party affiliation. I vote for people who I think are best qualified for the job and who seem to have the right moral fiber and character. Kerry doesn't qualify.

Now they're quoting Bush/Cheney campaign rhetoric. These threads just keep getting more insightful.

[Torimeg]

campaign rhetoric? No, just pointing out that just because you don't like Bush doesn't mean Kerry is the man for the job...

[ASsman]

Neither are for the job. But hell Kerry was just voting on things he believed where correct. Bush acted upon evidence he knew was incorrect. And sent in the National Guard to Iraq with Vietnam era flak jackets.

Maybe that is because 60% of the products are sold IN THE REST OF THE WORLD?

Outsourcing is when US companies use a cheap foreign workforce so they can import cheap goods to sell to their own people.

It is NOT when you use an equally expensive foreign workforce (UK bottling plants, etc) to produce goods in the country they are to be sold in, so that you don't have to charge them exhorbitant rates for transportation.

Use your brain, I am hoping unlike the other trolls that you might have one. Unlikely though that is.
