RE: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Missouri Young Republicans?

["Jerry Gamblin" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Yeah, I'd love to see Al Gore handle 9/11... That would have been a much
better choice. Instead of getting a tax break, we would have gotten a
tax increase so that we could have funneled 100 billion dollars into
Afghanistan so OBL could modernize his training facilities.  

Here are some facts on why I wont vote for Kerry:

Kerry Has Voted At Least 350 Times For Higher Taxes. 

Kerry Voted For Biggest Tax Increase In American History Under President
Clinton. 

Kerry Voted Against President Bush's Historic 2001 And 2003 Tax Cuts. 

Kerry Has Voted Against Balanced Budget Amendment At Least Five Times. 

Kerry Has Voted Against Major Tax Relief At Least 29 Times. 

Kerry Voted At Least Six Times Against Banning Partial-Birth Abortions.

Kerry Has Voted At Least Three Times Against Requiring Parental 
Consent/Notification For Minor's Abortion.

Kerry Voted To Allow Federal Funding Of Abortions And To Provide
Abortion Counseling In Federally-Funded Clinics. 


On the Partiot Act:

Kerry Voted For Patriot Act. The Patriot Act was passed nearly
unanimously by the Senate 98-1, and 357-66 in the House. (H.R. 3162, CQ
Vote #313: Passed 98-1: R 49-0; D 48-1; I 1-0, 10/25/01, Kerry Voted
Yea)

Kerry Used To Defend His Vote. "Most of [The Patriot Act] has to do with
improving the transfer of information between CIA and FBI, and it has to
do with things that really were quite necessary in the wake of what
happened on September 11th." (Sen. John Kerry, Remarks At Town Hall
Meeting, Manchester, NH, 8/6/03)

Now, Kerry Attacks Patriot Act. "We are a nation of laws and liberties,
not of a knock in the night. So it is time to end the era of John
Ashcroft. That starts with replacing the Patriot Act with a new law that
protects our people and our liberties at the same time. I've been a
District Attorney and I know that what law enforcement needs are real
tools not restrictions on American's basic rights." (Sen. John Kerry,
Remarks At Iowa State University, 12/1/03)

If we are going to elect a Liberal Democrat from New England to be
president it might as well be Ted Kennedy, at least then the state of
the union address would be entertaining.

I think it's hard to switch horses midstream.  Why they wanted him in
2000 
is the mystery.  Now they're stuck.
