Vote but Come to Your Own Choice

Kerry's Military Record
Mr. Kerry stated "I am the strongest canidate for National Defense - Check my Records"; we did and he ain't!

As for domestic needs. The economy is better than it has been in 20 years, but those of you reading this post do not know that. The propagandists, sorry the mainstream media, will not tell you this until the election is over. You can check it out; don't believe the right-wing talk radio or the newspapers simply research it for yourself. Once you find out since December 2003 the economy is growing faster than it has in 20 years ask yourself who was president then (1984); even some democrats liked him!

I simply cannot find anyone aganist Bush that can tell me why they dislike him except what they have heard in the media or Michael Moore's movie (see the below link for facts about Mr. Moore). Which are mostly lies or not the entire truth
Facts about Moore

To my dismay way many Republicans dislike Kerry for the same reason. Of course I do believe that Republicans are less likely to have blinders on, which is a bad thing for the Repbulican Party. Democrats on the other hand simply vote for the democrat because they are deomcrats without even knowing where they stand on any policy.

Back to domesitc policies - if we are so blind that we truly believe a president can have any influence in his first year on policies and in his first two years on the economy our education system truly is flawed! How we believe a report (9/11 Commision) that covers eight years of one presidency and eight months of another can come to a conclusion that both administrations are equally to blame is beyond me.

If the Bush administration is so effective it accomplished equality with Clinton in only eight months, four of which congress was not in session, he should easily win this election. Heck he is ten times more effective than Clinton and Clinton served two terms.

I have no problem with disagreeing like adults, but I have yet met a democrat that has not questioned my intelligence or out right called me stupid in the first sixty seconds of a conversation. This tells me that they are unable to debate the finer points of their beliefs knowing they are incorrect. If you do continue to talk with them they will be yelling within five minutes.

The un-true statements I hear are making me sick.1) Bush knew that the towers would be attacked (This is ludicrous to believe a fellow American knew 3,000+ people would be attacked and do nothing democrat or republican)2) Al Qaeda did not have contact with Iraq (The commission reports says they did, Clinton administration says they did, Clark says they did, etc.)3) The Iraq people do not want us there (visit the country and see it for yourself because you will not see it on the news or better yet talk to a returning soilder about it when you shake their hand for what they are doing. Do not beleive Mr. Moore's movie - if the military members he showed were actually active duty I can gurantee you there are hundreds that approve with what they are doing to every one that does not.

The democratic party believes if you say a lie enough it will be accepted as truth - I can't say they are wrong from what I am seeing. How else can you explain why people on the street are still saying there was no Al Qaeda/Iraq connection when there are so many reports proving it?

I simply hope that all persons will VOTE and come to their on conclusion about the canidates based on their research not what the news wants you to believe.

Food for thought: many years ago the president of NBC news said "we must tell the American people what to think because they will not know what to think on their own". This is an educated man's way of calling you stupid - Gather facts for yourself, come to your own conclusion, and vote your heart not someone else mind!

Kerry's Votes Against the Military!

Just in case you really thought Kerry was for Veterans, have a look at his voting record.
Kerry has voted for at least seven major reductions in Defense and Military spending, necessary for our national security:
1) In 1996 - Introduced Bill to slash Defense Department Funding by $6.5 Billion.
2) In 1995 - Voted to freeze Defense spending for 7 years, slashing over $34 billion from Defense.
3) Fiscal 1996 Budget Resolution - Defense Freeze. "Harkin, D-Iowa, amendment to freeze defense spending for the next seven years and transfer the $34.8 billion in savings to education and job training."
4) In 1993 - Introduced plan to cut numerous Defense programs, including:
• Cut the number of Navy submarines and their crews.
• Reduce the number of light infantry units down to one.
• Reduce tactical fighter wings in the Air Force.
• Terminate the Navy's coastal mine-hunting ship program.
• Force the retirement of no less than 60,000 members of the Armed Forces in one year.
5) Has voted repeatedly to cut Defense spending, including:
• In 1993, voted against increased Defense spending for Military Pay Raise. Kerry voted to kill an increase in military pay over five years.
• In 1992, voted to cut $6 billion from Defense.
• In 1991, voted to slash over $3 Billion from Defense. Shift money to social programs.
• In 1991, voted to cut defense spending by 2%
• Voted repeatedly to cut or eliminate funding for B-2.
• Voted repeatedly against Missile Defense - Weapons Kerry sought to phase out were vital in Iraq . "Kerry supported cancellation of a host of weapons systems that have become the basis of US military might-the high-tech munitions and delivery systems on display to the world as they leveled the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein in a matter of weeks." (Brian C. Mooney, "Taking One Prize, Then A Bigger One, "The Boston Globe, 6/19/03)
• Voted repeatedly against military hardware he felt we no longer need since the "cold war" is past. The money would be better spent on "social" programs. These weapons are now the core of our military power. (F-16 Fighting Falcons, B-1Bs B-2As F-15 and F-16s, M1 Abrams, Patriot Missile, AH-64 Apache Helicopter, Tomahawk Cruise Missile, Aegis Air-Defense Cruiser)
6) During 1980s Kerry and Michael Dukakis joined forces with liberal group dedicated to slashing Defense. Kerry sat on the board of "Jobs with Peace Campaign," which sought to "develop public support for cutting the defense budget . . ." ("Pentagon Demonstrators Call For Home-Building, Not Bombs," The Associated Press, 6/3/88)
7) While running for Congress in 1972, Kerry promised to cut Defense Spending. "On what he'll do if he's elected to Congress, "Kerry said he would ' bring a different kind of message to the President. "He said he would, "Vote against military appropriations." ("Candidate's for Congress Capture Campus in Andover," Lawrence [MA] Eagle-Tribune, 4/21/72)
"So you can look at all the potential threats of the world, and when you add the expenditures of all of our allies to the United States of America , you have to stop and say to yourself, 'What is it that we are really preparing for in a post-cold-war world?'"

The 9/11 Commission Report is Out

I am currently downloading the 500 page report and have not reviewed the whole thing.  However, I am sure the Democrates will jump on Bush.  I simply want to point out one thing:

THE REPORT COVERS EIGHT (8) YEARS OF CLINTON AND EIGHT (8) MONTHS OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION!

With this we can suppose that the Bush Administration is ten (10) time more effective than the Clinton administration.

I mean if Bush is to be as much to blame as Clinton then BUSH must have been able to accomplish equally as much as Clinton did in eight years in one tenth (1/10th) the timeframe.  So how can Kerry even have a chance!

John F. Kerry Said He is the Strongest Canidate on National Defense; "Check My Record"

We did check Mr. John F. Kerry's record:

  1. He voted to kill the Bradley Fighting Vehicle
  2. He voted to kill the M-1 Abrams Tank
  3. He voted to kill every Aircraft carrier laid down from 1988
  4. He voted to kill the Aegis anti aircraft system
  5. He voted to Kill the F-15 strike eagle
  6. He voted to Kill the Block 60 F-16
  7. He voted to Kill the P-3 Orion upgrade
  8. He voted to Kill the B-1
  9. He voted to Kill the B-2
  10. He voted to Kill the Patriot anti Missile system
  11. He voted to Kill the FA-18 
  12. He voted to Kill the F117
  13. He voted to kill every military appropriation for the development
    and deployment of every weapons systems since 1988,
    including a bill for battle armor for our troops.

It is most likely, with Sen. John Kerry as President and Commander in Chief of our Armed Services, that they will cease to function making it impossible for our country to protect itself John Kerry voted to kill all anti-terrorism activities of each and every agency of the U.S. Government.  Further he voted against intelligence gathering:

  1. He voted to cut the funding of the FBI by 60%,
  2. He voted to cut the funding for the CIA by 80%,
  3. He voted to cut the funding for the NSA by 80%.

THEN,  and this is abhorant to almost every American Voter be you Democrat, Republican or IndependentHe voted to increase OUR funding for U.N operations by 800% !!  Ask yourself
Is THIS a the person you want as President of these United States providing for the Common Defense of the Nation and be the Leader of the Free World ?

Kerry Wanted Military Action in 1998


Many democratic senators, including John F. Kerry, requested that then President Clinton do something about the WMD(s) in Iraq in this letter dated October 1998. Mr. Kerry what happened between then and now?

Facts about Michael Moore

1.He not from Flint, MI but is instead from Davidson, MI. Davidson, MI is not a blue collar town, as Mr. Moore protrays his roots being, instead it is an upper middle class town.

2.Mr. Moore portrays himself to be of and for the “blue collar” man
a.Owns a 1.9 million dollar home in Manhattan, NY
b.Owns a 1.2 million dollar summer home in Torch Lake, MI
3.Imam Samuara, terrorist responsible for 202 deaths (mostly Australian) quoted Mr. Moore to police and Mr. Samuara’s attorney’s used quotes from Mr. Moore’s books in their defense.

4.Mr. Moore in “Bowling for Columbine” stated that the NRA held a “pro-Gun” rally in Denver to taunt residences of Columbine. The rally was in fact scheduled more than a year in advance and had to proceed by law due to monies having been spent and Denver’s expected revenue – also, Mr. Moore failed to tell you that all public rallies were concealed out of respect.

5.Mr. Moore has suggested that President Bush choose to go into Afghanistan to gain access to the oil
a.Bush actually supported an undersea pipeline to avoid Afghanistan – We have to know this because this deal was Enron sponsored and persons keep throwing that at President Bush
b.The fact is Clinton supported Unocal’s plan to get oil out of Afghanistan
c.As of Fahrenheit 9/11’s release Mr. Moore now seems to be for the war in Afghanistan; showing along with this brilliance as an economist, and foreign policy advisor; he is a master of military strategy and his wisdom is we did no send enough troops into Afghanistan (of course he fails to mention what percentage the military has dropped while Clinton was president)

In my opinion Mr. Moore should stick to making movies. With his talent for fantasy he could have the next “Lord of the Rings” or “Star Wars” trilogy.

The below is an e-mail referencing the above "letter from a soilder" Mr Moore placed on his website:

Subject: Thought About Seeing Your Movie

I totally disagree with you, but thought about seeing your movie knowing I would see half truths, etc. However, as I went to read letters to you from soldier, on your website, I see one talking of “hating” you after your speech and jumping into Iraq the next day.

This is a total lie; see I have been to Iraq, a master jumper that participated in special jumps and am retired – the date of the speech referred to and the date of the jumps into “northern Iraq” do not coincide – not to mention the individuals letter did not sound at all like a soldier even one that was against the war – which unlike you wish to portray ain’t many. Mr. Moore you are doing more harm to our troops than help – that is if you are really trying to help and not simply trying to make yourself money. Why don’t you talk about your million dollar condos and office spaces when you ambush others with means?

You need to get your writers to pay a tad bit more attention to the dates.

Yahoo! News - Jordan Willing to Send Troops to Iraq

Yahoo! News - Jordan Willing to Send Troops to Iraq

This appears to be a good sign and I hope it is a genuine offer! A great strive in recognizing Iraq. I hope this will help the rest of the Islamic community to realize that the US wants Iraq to stand alone and withdraw our troops.

The people of Iraq are trying Sadam and his cronies and moving toward free elections. I never thought I would see this in the Middle East in my lifetime; however, if we listen to Moore and other US leftist this is a bad thing.

Of course if you listen to Moore publicly he is concerned about all people and wants all people being equal. He owns at least one multimillion dollar condominium. I have an idea let Mr. Moore find just ten people and divide his wealth up equally between all ten – that will show me something!

Of course Hollywood persons all want to talk the talk but never walk the walk; “we feel the pain of all jobless Americans and believe the government should spend more than the 60% plus of the national budge on entitlements. Maybe if Streistein, Sheen, Cruise, Ford, and the many others gave just 60% of their worth to a fund every year we would be impressed not to mention it would do wonders for the poverty level.

Then the liberal that is hired to manage the fund would end up under investigation for fraud and theft and the reason would be they were “more compassionate than a republican like me”.
