Differences between Kerry and Bush

[jokerswild]

1. Kerry is a war hero, thus brave. Bush is a dodger/deserter, thus a coward.
2. Kerry believes in the middle class. Bush shifts the tax burden to the middle class.
3. Kerry believes in fiscal responsibility. Bush believes that deficits don't matter.
4. Kerry believes that war is war, and peace is peace. Bush believes that war is peace.
5. Kerry has above average intelligence. Bush is at best average, and perhaps slightly below average.


The list could go on indefinitely.

this post is pretty stupid. i'm not even a bush supporter, but this is just dumb.

"Kerry is a war hero, thus brave."

since when is military service a prerequisite for being president? i believe it was kerry who argued that it wasn't when clinton's draft dodger image was being talked about.

"Kerry believes that war is war, and peace is peace."

what a genius.

"Bush believes that war is peace."

sometimes to make way for peace, war is necessary. i don't see how you can't think this is true.

1. Kerry is a war hero, thus brave. Bush is a dodger/deserter, thus a coward.

Thus I'm certain in '96 you voted for Dole over Clinton.

2. Kerry believes in the middle class. Bush shifts the tax burden to the middle class.

You may rest assured that both parties are going to tax the living daylights out of the middle class.

3. Kerry believes in fiscal responsibility. Bush believes that deficits don't matter.

How will Kerry control deficits, by raising taxes or cutting programs? Those are the only two choices.

4. Kerry believes that war is war, and peace is peace. Bush believes that war is peace.

This is meaningless doubletalk.

5. Kerry has above average intelligence. Bush is at best average, and perhaps slightly below average.

This is just your opinion. It is useful to note that the most intelligent man to occupy the White House in my lifetime, Jimmy Carter, may have been the least competent President of that period.

Mind you now, I'm not voting for Bush, either, but I'm certainly not voting for Kerry.

Only if you see things in either/or terms.

"Both" is not a better choice.

Actually, deficits can be reduced in percentage terms (relative to GDP) through economic growth. I don't think that's what Kerry has in mind, however (presuming that he has anything in mind in the first place).

One would hope by raising taxes and cutting programs.

What is the definition of "middle class"? My tax liability has gone down during the Bush years, and I consider myself middle class. I have a 5 person family and we make less than 100K a year. So am I rich?
