Thread Name: BS: Kerry's Stand on Patriot Act?
Subject: RE: BS: Kerry's Stand on Patriot Act?
Well that is interesting, Amos, that John Kerry will appoint a different attorney general. Except every president appoints a different attorney general, so I don't exactly see how voting for Kerry is going to reverse the damage done to our civil liberties, if he won't talk about how he is going to do that.

Considering how he voted for the Patriot Act, and all.

As to "really reaching" Don, I don't think so. The mainstream Democrats and the "Anybody But Bush" movement keep saying we have to vote for Kerry because he will set everything right that Bush has fouled up. I don't see any proof of that at the John Kerry for President website.

So why do mainstream Democrats and the "Anybody But Bush" movement think that a vote for Kerry will matter one iota?

If Kerry isn't going to undo the damage, what difference does it make which Republicrat gets in next January?

Is Kerry going to raise taxes to undo the damage of massive tax cuts by Bush and massive tax rebates from Clinton, that resulted in the Treasury running so low we can't pay for a damn thing anymore?

No?

Is Kerry going to pull US troops out of Afghanistan, Iraq, Haiti, and work to replace them with international forces? Is Kerry going to support the formation of a true Palestinian state?

And just how the hell is Kerry going to stop the job losses here and the exploitation of workers overseas by US multinationals, when he keeps voting for things like NAFTA?

What exactly is the Kerry economic program for getting the nation back to work? Are we talking New Deal sorts of government programs?

I don't see answers to those questions at John Kerry for President website, but I do see a lot of pontificating about Kerry "fighting his heart out to bring the 3 million lost jobs back to America."

Yeah, how Mr Kerry?
