Republicans... Life as you knew it is over.

I just witnessed a guy become President months before an election even took place.

Do not, however, despair for a moment..

Because it's about to get a lot better.

My heartfelt to a nation that produces such men. You oughta be proud and for this reason you are indeed, the envy of the rest of the world.

Obviously a man who is easily moved.

Tell us. does the music to "Lassie" bring you to tears also?

Kerry did say he was going to raise taxes on the wealthiest 2% of Americans. Never mind that these people already pay 46% of all income tax already.

It would be a good joke if half the population didn't fall for it.

I'd like a view from the Kerry supporters. You Bush supporters can tell me about Bush's plans after his speech.

I'm sure Gaylord will be here shortly.

Hmm some very familiour words there.
LOL anyone who has followed politics for more then 15 min at a time knows that Talking about what they are going to do is one thing.
Actually DOING it is usually something entirely different.

You want specifics, here is what we get from Kerry/Edwards:

Health Care for every American - not any just helthcare but the same healthcare Senators and Congressmen get right now.

John Kerry will create 10 million new Jobs!

Tax cuts for 98% of americans!

A bigger military! More money there.

Tax subsidies (lower taxes) for companies to produce in the USA.

More tax incentives to make manufacturing jobs.

More spending on education.

Tax breaks on healthcare.


Oh yea, and:


A balanced budget!


This is going to be awesome! Everyone gets something they like!

Then I suppose you ought to post this on a Democrat-only BBS. Just a suggestion.

And why is that? I'm interested in the opinions of the Kerry supporters that post here on this BBS.

I think he means if you post that question here, you'll get replies from both sides of the isle.

How uncouth, eh?

[SaburoS]

I know this is a predominately Republican/conservative BBS. Because there are those that aren't, I was hoping to see specifics that Kerry's speech alluded to by the vague "Hope is on the way!" Because we have a very outspoken conservative majority, I didn't want the responses from the proKerry side buried, hence my request.
If Bush utters an equally vague "quote" I'll ask the same here of the Bush supporters.
I wonder if Kieran will pipe in with my posting to a Republican only BBS comment. I doubt it

I thought his speech was inspiring and well written. Well spoken. Im not a liberal or a conservative but I thought it was good. I make up my own mind.

[TweetyBird]

>>I make up my own mind.<<

You are the 15% it was directed to. I have no doubt George Bush will also direct his speech to you and both hope you decide in their favor. They really aren't worried about the people who are staunch Republicans or staunch Democrats. They have them or they don't - period. They are weight, cattle, - sheeeep! They are interested in those seriously considering the election.

Personaly, I can't wait for the debates.

I would certainly tell you the same thing if you asked people on a public BBS to refrain from responding after you posted the question on an open forum- if I happened to be here reading, which I am not very often. Toad is right, if you post on such a hot topic on the public forum, no way will one side or the other stay out.

I guess let me do it pre-emptively: If you want conservative-only responses to your Bush speech thread, post it on a republican-only BBS. There, that takes care of it in case I am not around.
