Hi
Again read this article. Me thinks that "Red America" has
some not so civil things to say.
For supporting Kerry this Inquirer writer has heard plenty.

If the hate and animosity are coming from Blue America, consider that people unhappy
with the status-quo are often passionate and emotional, whereas I have lately found
the Bush supporters around me to be rather more blas� about things. I really hope
that the Slate article wasn't proposing the idea that most democrats are JERKS. That
wouldn't be civil.

The article is quite informative and only goes to support what many Politically
Incorrect have pointed out -- the hate, animosity and lack of civility in this
election comes from Terry McAuliffe / Howard Dean side of the fence.
If you want an interesting comparison of the Candidates, examine John Kerry the
candidate in the Spring and compare him to John Kerry the candidate in the Fall...
very different people, very different positions. You can see a clear change in the
Candidate pre and post Convention. It truly makes one wonder what John Kerry really
stands for.
One is forced to wonder what a post-victory Kerry Administration will be like?
Will Kerry still wear his Camo and tote his shotgun or will he seek to register gun
owners and ban saturday night specials?
Once Kerry gets government to pay for health insurance, will he ever do anything to
control the actual cost of health care? [Government health insurance is simply a blank
check for the health care industry. They will be able to charge whatever they want
because "insurance" will pay for anything.] Or will he actually control the real costs
by nationalizing the health care industry and pay doctors, nurses and others a flat
government salary?
If you make less than $100,000 a year, Kerry will cut your taxes -- but if you make
more than $100,000 a year he will increase them ... or will he? He wants to return
"the Clinton Surplus" AND dramatically increase government spending; the money has to
come from somewhere, and there aren't enough billionaires around anymore since the
Clinton bubble burst?
Kerry is going to eliminate "outsourcing," and replace them with "good paying"
American jobs. Consider the "unintended consequences":
If you consider that an Indian IT worker gets paid (much) less than $5,000 per year,
(the average annual income for an Indian is $450 according to this week's Economist)
and you replace them with a US worker being paid the $75,000 - $100,000 they were paid
in the US, how much will prices rise?
What's that going to do to Walmart -- the largest employer in the United States (as
well as in Pennsylvania)? 80% of the goods sold at Walmart are imported, mostly from
China. Similar numbers apply to manufacturing wages between China and the US. If
Walmart starts "buying American" how much will their prices increase? 50% 100%?
If prices increase that much that rapidly, what's the inflation rate going to be? 10%,
20%? higher? What's that going to do to the "housing bubble" everyone is yamming
about? What happens to the Mortgage market when the Fed increases interest rates to 4%
or 5% let alone higher attempting to subdue the rapid rise in inflation.
Kerry plans to have a 10 year energy development program. Does that mean that, like
France, we will have 90% of our electricity generated by Nuclear power plants in 10
years? Starting on January 21st that is the only technology available capable of
generating equivalent amounts electrical power to replace existing coal, oil and
natural gas fired generating plants within 10 years. [Completely ignoring cost issues
here] Photovoltaic technology is, in the laboratory, less than 20% efficient, but only
about 15% efficient in products which can be manufactured outside the laboratory. Wind
power? Then you have the problem which Massachusetts and Connecticut have today --
instead of oil wells polluting their costal views, they are fighting windmill farms --
and no one believes there is any possibility of generating sufficient and reliable
amounts of wind generated electricity with today's technology.
And we won't even bring up the question of who will pay the bills or provide the goods
and services after the Class Action law suits put all the evil corporations out of
business.
