There is a huge difference between Kerry and Bush
Some have said there is no difference between the two. So I thought I would post some of the differences.

Kerry supports a multilateral foreign policy. Bush supports a go it alone foreign policy.

Kerry is prochoice, Bush is antichoice.

Bush wants more tax cuts for the wealthy, Kerry wants to rescind tax cuts for the wealthy

Kerry wants to expand access to affordable health care, Bush does not.

KErry supports a real patients bill of rights, Bush protects the HMOs.

Bush favors school vouchers, Kerry opposes them and supports greater funding of the public schools.

Kerry opposes outsourcing, Bush supports it.

Kerry supports expanding americorp to help more people attend college, Bush does not.

Kerry supports amending the Patriot Act to protect civil liberties, Bush does not.

Bush wants to privatize social security, Kerry opposes this.

Bush wants to drill in the arctic, KErry wants to explore alternative energy sources.

Seems like a lot of differences to me. I'm sure there are more too.

2. When I look at the ballot, this is what I really see:
Edited on Tue Aug-10-04 06:29 PM by tedoll78
President of the United States of America:

__ Antonin Scalia (Republican)


__ John Paul Stevens (Democrat)


__ Antonin Scalia (Green)


__ Antonin Scalia (Libertarian)


__ Antonin Scalia (Constitution)



edit: and note.. we're not talking about 4-year terms here. The average term for a Supreme Court justice at this point is ~18 years.

3. Great list!
I would add one that caught my interest at a speech. With 2 years accredited community service, 4 years of that person's college tuition will be paid for. This is a wonderful idea.

7. Bush
dislikes democracy and has what can only be considered fascist tendancies.

Kerry does not support fascism.
