Kerry's speech was filled with all warm and fuzzy platitudes, but did not
give any details, except to say "our plan" will do so and so. On top of all
the other social engineering he proposed. He even said we can spend $10,000
a year on each and every disadvantaged child so we can save $50,000 it costs
us to send to prison. Is Kerry saying that 1 out of 5 children coming from
a disadvantaged household is going to go to prison for an average sentence
of 18 yrs? What he didn't tell us is how many children would qualify for
this $10,000 a yr. I would love to see Kerry state how much it will
actually cost to provide $180,000 for each child born into a disadvanted
child (from birth to his 18th birthday).. Now if the government actually
pays for the cost of college for these disadvantaged children, the bill will
be substantially more.

All of Kerry's platitudes sounded great, and we would all love to have it
happened, but how will we pay for it. It can't only come from the "rich"
(those making over $200,000 a yr) it would have to come at the expense of
those paying the bulk of the taxes, the middle class, including a large
percent of the democrats who think only the other guy is actually going to
pay for his programs.

There is no way Kerry would be able to implement half of what he promised,
but if he can buy votes with false promises he will keep adding new promises
to his platform.

ENERGY
The Great Energy Divide

In his speech to the Democratic National Convention last night, Sen.
John Kerry drew many distinctions between himself and President George
W. Bush. One of the most striking policy divides was on the issue of
energy.

Read what the Washington Post's liberal editorial board had to say
yesterday
about Kerry's energy plan:

"But however appealing it may be to voters, even the candidate is by some
accounts well aware that "energy independence" is a fiction. To put it
bluntly, the United States consumes far more energy than it produces. For
the near future, and certainly well beyond the eight years Mr. Kerry could
be president, there is no possibility of genuine energy independence, nor
is
it clear that that is a worthwhile goal. "

Our economy is dependent on oil. Until we have a viable energy
alternative
to oil, then any attempt by a terrorist organization to destroy our
economy
by limiting the flow of oil to our country, should be pre-emptively deal
with exactly the way Bush handled it.
