I guess not. Was it mailed or did Bill O'Reilly read it on the air?


It was sent by e-mail to Kerry's supporters on August 24 by Kerry's "Senior
Strategist."


I'll stay glued to the screen in eager anticipation of it's arrival.
I don't believe I have signed up as a supporter anywhere. The only
"list" I am on is the factcheck.org, which is bipartisan and
impartial.

As I said, I am looking forward to some specifics from the Bush
Campaign. I gather they have about worked out the anti-gay marriage
issue, which seems to occupy a great deal of time and energy in the
Republican Party, but, quite honestly, isn't of any real interest to
me, other than as a barometer of where the Republican Party is these
days.

Kerry's proposals are actually refreshingly specific. Just check out
johnkerry.com. I was curious as to just exactly what tax policy
changes they support and was a bit surprised to see them laid out
specifically. As in any election year, it is always a bit breathtaking
to contemplate the generosity of the tax structure, the new Federal
programs and the strengthening of the military, all while dealing with
the deficits.

I visited the Bush website and really didn't find much, other than the
expected puffery and the call for their supporters to call their local
talk radio programs to praise Bush and criticize Kerry. I am not sure
how much good a specific agenda for a second term would be, anyway, as
they rapidly departed from their stated principles after getting into
office the last time.

In the words of George W..."Fool me once, shame on you...but we won't
be fooled again." Ah, the benefits of a Connecticut education
