Thread Name: BS: Can We Do Better than 'Anybody But Bush'
Subject: RE: BS: Can We Do Better than 'Anybody But Bush'
Looks like the Anybody But Bush folk are pure contented to keep their heads in the sand until November 3rd. At which time, we do what? Play more "let's pretend" games about who owns Kerry, and what their agenda will be for the next 4 years?

I don't believe Kerry is going to change the course the ship of state is sailing one iota. So I'm asking, what happens when nothing changes after Inauguration Day? When nothing changes after the 2006, 2007, or 2008 Kerry State of the Union addresses?

What happens when things maybe even get worse than they've been under Bush? More people permanently unemployed. More women, children, and elderly living in poverty, and the ranks of the uninsured balloons to over, say, 60 million people?

Or what happens when the current health care system finally collapses into itself? How many more years can American workers stand double digit increases in their health insurance premiums, increases in their co-pays, fund the medical flexible spending account to pay for the health care goods and services that used to paid by their insurance, all while their wages continue to shrink and inflation creeps ever higher along with the interest rates?

What happens then? That is the path this nation is on right now, and wouldn't you all like to know how Kerry/Edwards is going to stop it? How Kerry/Edwards is going to put an end once and for all of the looting of the American economy under the guise of the "ownership society"?

What are we going to do 15 years from now when we finally admit that Clinton's social security lockbox never had anything in it from the gitgo, besides the empty campaign promises of Democratic presidential candidates from 1992 onward?
