It never ceases to amaze me that people can say that John Kerry is a fiscal conservative who would help get our country out of the deficit we're in with a straight face. George Bush himself is no fiscal conservative. This is one Republican who wishes he would forget about spending more money on a bankrupt education system and throwing our hard earned dollars at the useless Medicare system. There are others. And it's not doing him any favors. The liberals hate him because of the "R" after his name on a ballot (and because he's pro-life and pro-defense), regardless of what he does for them.
Anyway...back to John Kerry. Fiscal conservatives believe in keeping government spending down and giving taxpayers back their money. Kerry believes in neither. His voting record proves he is as committed as his counterpart Ted Kennedy to government pork spending. His own speeches prove he doesn't believe the people should have their own money. He has vowed to roll back most of the Bush tax cuts, except those "that benefit the middle class." They all benefit the middle class, John. And, incidentally, you're not a member. Will a Bush re-election get us less government spending? Probably not if the last three years are any indication. Democrats in Congress will continue to push for spending on everything except defense of the homeland and Bush will probably continue to appease them. (Although, of course, if re-elected, perhaps Bush will see he has no need to placate them anymore, not having to be re-elected.) How about a Kerry presidency? The only cutbacks we'll see then will be your wallet and our military. Clinton created a surplus by cutting military spending and increasing taxes. Useless government organizations still exist and at the very beginning of the Bush administration our military intelligence was caught off guard in a sneak attack that left three thousand dead. Can we afford another Democratic debacle of spending? We can barely afford the Republican administration.
