Do either of you guys live in a Battleground state? If not, then the
opinions of people you know in those states do not matter. There are
three
people in my office (plus their spouses) who didn't vote for Bush in
2000.
All have stated that they will be supporting him this year.


They're hoping by saying that you'll stop pestering them.


Maybe. Of course,just to be sure that they don't vote for Kerry, then I'm
dropping the bomb on November 1st:

"Should *my* taxes go up (which they will) so that Kerry can pay for his
unaffordable, government-run health plan, then I'm dropping our group health
insurance policy (which I pay 85% of) and everybody is on their own. I also
won't be hiring the extra assistant that I usually hire when season
comes...which means we must struggle through our busy time with the people
we currently have, and everybody works that much harder."



That's not a threat. It's a reality. I provide health insurance for my
employees. If Kerry thinks he can provide it for them by hitting me with
higher taxes, then best of luck to him. If he thinks he is able to provide
them with government-controlled health insurance, and he uses my tax money
to do it, then effectively, I'm still paying for their insurance anyhow.
