And Kerry is going to stop the leaching of jobs from the USA to other countries? HA! RIGHT!

[lazysmurff]

what funnier is his plan to do it.

a 5% tax cut to corporatons to keep jobs in america might work, if the majority of corporations actually paid a dime in taxes.

Sad that some people will try to link anything they can in order to make enough mud to throw at a candidate.

Neither John Kerry, or his wife have any coNtrolling interest in the Heinz company.



Heinz makes a percentage of its products overseas,because,shock horror, that's where it sells them.
Now if anyone is idiotic enough to believe that it is possible to ship all of the ingredients into the US, manufacture ketchup,then export it around the world and still compete profitably with the local product.......that person is probably just about dumb enough to vote Republican.

You certainly don't ever have a problem finding mud to sling around.

The only reason why the "educated" people are voting democrat is because they are brain washed while in school. Not saying that republicans aren't educated by any means, but we just have common sense that they are lacking.

[duckied]

honeslty taranki why do you care who our president is? because it affects you, you dont even live in the dam country so you dont have any say so in the matter, and your obviously not as informed about the election as much as people who actually live in america and follow the candidates policy's

[Thourun]

Common sense or values?

[duckied]

i dont care about any of the bs that anyone slings around about kerry or bush, goofy photos etc. all i care about is who the hell can run this country the best, and i dont want to live in a country thats to dam timid to stand up for what it beleives in

I think that Mr. T is very educated about whats going on in the USA. He has every right to care what goes on with our elections. The united states is the last remaning super power, that gives the rest of the world the right to care. Why not, we stick our noses where it doesn't belong? Why can't others?

Are we really so much better then the rest of the world???

LOL...

Duckied....welcome, please go back and read through all the threads in this forum.Most of the points and arguments that you raise have already been argued out before. I would find your suggestion that I don't understand American politics quite offensive if it wasn't demonstrably laughable.

A few questions for you...

What was the nationality of the majority of the hijackers on Sept 11?
Where do you stand on federal estate taxes?
Is the "faith based initiative" a sound ideology?
What were the justifications given by the republican Party for invading Iraq?[all of them, not just the biggest lies]
What are your thoughts the two key players respective social policies?
What is John Kerry's position on stem cell research?
Come to that, do you know what stem cell research is?
Or federal estate taxes?
Or the 'faith based initiative'?

Could you even point to Iraq and Afghanistan on a map?

I'm guessing not.You seem barely capable of putting your thoughts into coherent English. My name, by the way is Taranaki. If you can't write three sentences using the correct grammar and spelling,and you can't copy a simple 8 letter name, I very much doubt that you have any idea what you are talking about in terms of fiscal policy, employment strategy,foreign affairs or domestic social policy.

By all means wave your flag and consider yourself to be superior simply because you are are an American.You'll only be kidding yourself, and you'll be easy fodder for the utter bullshit that Bush dresses up as patriotism.I don't doubt that you'd vote Bush, but I do doubt that you came to that decision unaided.That is, if you are old enough to vote.

[LotusDreams]

I'm Canadian, and I am still interested in American politics... Although it may not be my country, the results of this election will directly affect my country for the next four years.

Don't just assume that because someone's not from your country, they can't know shit about it... especially when they've already demonstrated their intelligence.

[duckied]

The problem is, you don't live in America, so you don't think of the policy's as how they would affect you living here. You can sit around and look up on the internet all day at what people have written, but the facts are you have no real world experience on how the policy's will affect you personally. You seem to be more interested in your personal agenda then what is better for the whole. People in Iraq will be better off living in a society where they don't have to fear being assasinated simply because they do not agree with the dictator. However you bring up a good point I will go back and read every thread in this forum and come back knowing what people have said before, I will be back in 400 years late....

Good way to change the subject since you could not find any faults in my arguments. I can sit here and type everything perfectly as long as I please. But people actually have things to do in their lives, and simply do not have time to be grammatically correct, or accumulate 15000 posts.

I don't consider myself superior to anyone simply because I am american. But you obvioulsy consider me inferior because I am. Bush is a leader, Kerry is a politician who simply knows how to make things look good on paper, and the facts about wheter or not they will be actually able to work is irrelevant to him. The president of the United States of America needs to be a leader not a politcian

BTW you missed a comma.

nice try, but puting a comma there is made superfluous by the use of the word 'or'.

I've already answered your arguments before, and they are so feeble that I am reluctant to debate them again. Perhaps if you lived outside the U.S.,you'd have access to the more balanced media that the rest of us see.Of the many news sources that I use to study American politics, by far the most simplistic and inane are the mainstream American 'news' channels.The entertainers who put together these broadcasts are not journalists in any sense of the word,most of their content seems to be derived by shoving a camera into the faces of the two main contenders and broadcasting most of their lies and shite without critical observation.Frankly, what happens in the background is more interesting than how those two goons present their pitch.

If you'd taken the trouble to read a few threads before spouting nonsense, you might have seen a statistical analysis on civilian mortality in Iraq. It is a cold hard fact that civilians are dying in far geater numbers from military or paramilitary intervention that they ever were under Saddam Hussein. What is worse is that Bush and his backroom baboons are entirely clueless as to how to run an occupation,and the resulting civil unrest, looting ,organised crime and increase in terrorist activities have proved the occupation to be a disastrous failure.

I don't consider you to be inferior because you are an American [please capitalise the term when you use it, don't you love your own country at least enough to spell it correctly?], such ridiculously petulant statements are the last refuge of xenophobes, racists and imbeciles. I consider you inferior because you have yet to put a single post in this thread that convinces me that you are capable of being my equal.

If you prefer to reward Bushes track record of failures and lies, that is your perogative.Bush may be a leader, but then so was Adolf Hitler.The president of the United States needs to be not just a leader, but a competent, honest and humanitarian leader. Bush fails on all three counts and should go.
If you want to try and tell me that I am undereducated because I disagree with you, you demonstrate a narrowness of thought that marks you as incapable of carrying a debate in a bucket.You haven't addressed a single one of the questions that I put to you, so I'll assume for now that you don't know the answers.Good day.

[duckied]

I'm glad to know that all this nonsense will be over today, and then you Taranaki can piss and moan for another four years about our president, whether it be Kerry or Bush. I have never once said that i like Bush, but given the candidates, its an easy choice. And if the internet isnt considered balanced media i dont know what is.

does ditto work for you?

I realize now that i won't have any influence on you because you seem to be to narrow minded to consider my points, because you seem to be too caught up in your own attacks on me.
