Unemployment is 5.5%, historically a low number, not a high number. The jobs numbers today were not good, but we're arguing about whether the expansion is slowing, not whether the expansion is done and we're moving into recession.

By Imams you mean the Mehdi Army? They got torched to the tune of 300 dead in Najaf alone in the last 48 hours, and they very quickly said they were interested in re-instating the truce. I am not suggesting that Iraq is going to be totally at peace anytime soon, but coalition combat deaths are slowing, Iraqi forces are increasingly taking charge of civil order, and Iraqis appear to be fed up with insurgents and terrorists killing civilians in their bid to destabalize the country.

I have yet to see anything specific from Kerry, only a knee-jerk reaction to the 9/11 Commission report.

Criminals? Who? How? That's just a slur and not worthy of serious debate.
The only really concrete thing Kerry seems to have in his plan is that he is going to raise my taxes. And forget all this crap about raising taxes on the "wealthiest Americans". Those folks- people like Kerry (and his wife) and Edwards, as well as Bush and Cheney for that matter, don't make the bulk of their money from salaries. That's so bourgeois! They make their money from things like stocks and bonds, and none of those profits would be affected by raising income taxes.
