Benefits of a Kerry Victory

I won't move to Canada even if Kerry wins.

Published on November 2, 2004 By messybuu In Politics

I'm afraid John F. Kerry will win the presidential election tomorrow. However, even the victory of a terrible candidate brings with it benefits to the nation, so if he wins tomorrow night, I won't kill myself or move to Canada as Democrat threaten to do if Bush wins again. Instead, I'll swear for a few minutes and then laugh it off as I acknowledge the positive aspects of a Kerry victory:

The populace will no longer see Heinz Corporation as a ketchup company, but as a corrupt multinational corporation stealing resources from third world countries.
The euphoria of the Democrats will fade and give way to the biggest disillusionment ever to suffer the Democrat Party, parallel with the shame a girl would feel with sleeping with a creep to make her ex-boyfriend jealous.
Whiney Democrats won't have excuses to bitch anymore.
A Republican victory will be inevitable in 2008.
Michael Moore will fade into obscurity.

It is possible the next four years will turn out well, but it won't be because of Kerry, who intends to damage the nation with his idiotic plans, such as reviving the economy with a tax increase (Although Democrats believe that more taxes lead to a stronger economy, citing Clinton's success, they completely fail to acknowledge the dot-com boom of the nineties because they either failed Economics in high school were baked then).

If Kerry wins, I'll accept it and not demand infinite recounts twisted to my favor, because besides ethics, I'll know he won't win another election, unless the Republican Party goes Democrat and elects some terrible Kerry-like candidate for 2008 since Republicans aren't as likely to settle with the lesser of two evils as Democrats are due to their higher standards and realization that the President doesn't have control over the entire nation.

joe_black & Helix the II:

I am an American, and I completely agree with joe_black's 'foreign' opinion. Does anyone else remember the days after 9/11, when the whole world stood with our nation? Now look around the world: we are reviled by many, and disrespected and distrusted by even our closest allies. Our country created a legacy after WWII - a legacy of relying on law instead of revenge. That legacy has been destroyed by Bush and his go-it-alone policies that break the very laws our nation helped create.

I am a proud and patriotic American, and I am deeply ashamed of the actions taken by this "president". All I can hope for today is a huge turnout that leads to a landslide victory for Kerry. Hopefully, this will be our first move as Americans to humbly ask joe_black and others to welcome our country back into the community of nations.

You sir, need to get out more often. First time I was in France, I was welcomed into peoples(strangers) homes. Last time only my actuall friends didn't look at me like I was a zit.

French opinion matters to me just a bit more than Bin Laden's opinion. In other words, not much.

Grim:

All I'm asking for is a "wait and see" rather than "shoot now and ask questions later" attitude. We aren't through the election, have no winner and still, people are already building the new walls around their beliefs. Was Clinton the ONLY reason the 90's were good? Of course not. But give him SOME credit. He worked well with both parties. Is that something evil? He certainly didn't ADD to the deficit and we were better off in 2000 than in 1992. That says that Clinton did at least something right. But you said that was BULLSHIT!

Well, I made a ton of money in the 90's and while I am doing ok now, I'd prefer the Clinton economic team over the Bush team 8 days a week! If you were honest, so would you.

As I said I amnot an American hell I'm not even a white, But I have always dreamt of coming one day to USA. My dad had worked in Berkley University as a scientist for a year and he always drilled into me that it's the place for liberty and freedom and for people who want to do something with thier life. But the US I see now is vastly different thanx to Bush. When he starts acting like barbarians as like al-quaeda as in keeping prisoners in Guantanomo Bay and invading Iraq..... Let me ask you mate supposing US was ruled by a dictator and suddenly Germany or France invades ur country to free you people of him will you tolerate an foreign invasion? Bush talks of freedomfor Iraqis and in the same breath talks of imprisoning people without trials, Does not that look uncouthed and barbaric? Of all the people in this world US was the last country expected to act like this. I say this again Bush might be a good human being but he does not know shit about running a superpower, better he remains a local sheriff in Texas and give him a gun pleaseeeeeeeeeee.

First, Kerry will not pass tax increases or new spending as you claim. It is the Congress not the President who makes the laws in our country. The Republicans will not be able to make the tax cuts on he wealthy perminent which will help us move closer to a balanced budget since the GOP will not let Kerry spend this money. If the power remains split as 2011 comes closer, both sides will be required to compermise or the tax rates (all of them) will return to the rate of the 1990's.

The mess Bush created in Iraq will not be much better no matter who is president. All we can hope is that next time we make sure we attack the enemy that is where the danger is not where the president wants to start a war.

I am a moderate Republican for over 40 years and know Bush is about the worst president we have had in my life. Bush has not done the job with the economy, taxes, energy, health care or with the Iraq War. Why would anyone keep someone on the job if they failed to do it properly!

Kerry, who intends to damage the nation with his idiotic plans

based on the content of nearly every article and comment youve offered over the past six months, i would have concluded you were the very antithesis of partisan foolishness for its own sake, especially when vinted from sour grapes and distilled into vitriolic excess. considering the title, was my expectation of something along the lines of 'once it's over, malice towards none etc., we're all federalists etc., united we stand, etc.' in error because im asking too much or youre delivering too little?

I am not an American but I can't imagine anyone voting for G. Bush. You americans don't realize what damage he has brought on your people for which you will be paying for a long time to come

And as a non-american you have no idea of the *sh*t* storm Kerry would unleash on us AND the rest of the world.

First don't insult my intelligence. Should he (Kerry) win, I hope you're still around in a year or two so I can have the displeasure of hearing your explanation as to why he DID raise taxes across the board. To make good on all his rather vague promises, he's gonna have to....otherwise - his math is wrong.

I have said in many of by bloggs that Kerry can not start new spending programs (health Care) or change the tax laws without congress. Since the GOP will never allow such changes, taxes and new spending will not change much if at all. Only as a form of compermise will any such changes take place. The Big issue is not to make the tax cuts on for the wealthy permanent! We can not afford that!

So in other words all the reasons that people are using to vote for Kerry will not happen?

The inevitable result of Kerry's tax increases, mandatory student service (draft) and health policies would be rationaing of health care, increased unemployment, increased deficits and lower economic growth. Add to this the impact of allowing the UN to dictate our policies on the environment and timidity in foreign affairs, and it'll be Jimmy Carter all over again. I see 7 to 8% unemployment under a Kerry administration.

I pledge, if Kerry is elected, to hold his feet to the fire, criticize his every move, and give him 4 years of the hell that the left has unleashed on Bush.

Bush got one tenth or the hatred aimed at him that Clinton did from day one of his Presidency. Even before Monicagate, the right was frothing at the mouth about Clinton.The Republicans started the ride to lowball the President and now cry foul when it works against them. So far all the right has done is to counter Kerry with scare tactics. Is it just blind ignorance that 75% of Bush supporters still believe that Iraq and 9/11 were connected. They bury their head in the sand about the deficit and pretend that Bush had even a semblence of a plan in Iraq more than the Iraqis would throw flowers at our liberating troops.
