Why you Should Vote for John Kerry

John Kerry

The majority of us that will vote have made up our minds at this point, so I’m writing this to the two percent or so that are left. It is my belief that Bush has done anywhere from a mediocre to a terrible job on pretty much every issue and such a preformance does not deserve a reward.

Four Reasons Bush Does Not Deserve the Job

  1. 1.6 million jobs were lost on his clock, the first time any president has lost jobs in 72 years
  2. A sad war that has cost too many lives for too little in return. No weapons of mass destruction, no link to the attack on the US and I still get to see Osama Bin Laden wagging his finger at me on TV.
  3. We now have the highest federal deficit in history. Are there no fiscal conservatives left in Washington?
  4. Four years of inaction on healthcare. Costs are 50% higher and five million more people are uninsured. Why hasn’t Bush done anything to help the situation?

Four Reasons Kerry Will Be Great at the Job

  1. John Kerry has a health plan that puts it’s money where it’s mouth is by covering 27 million additional Americans including 8 million children. It’s gutsy and ambitious and that’s exactly what we need to tackle the problem.
  2. John Kerry understands that security is about more than fighting those people who need fought. It’s about alliances and diplomacy and intelligent choices so that when we do fight a war, we know it is truly worth fighting.
  3. John Kerry will take us back to the Clinton era of balanced budgets. It’s good for the economy and it’s definitely good for future generations who shouldn’t have to pay their parents debts.
  4. It’s time for a real energy plan and Kerry has one that gets us away from middle east oil and into new technology which means jobs, cleaner air, better security and much more.

Regardless of your choice, I hope you make it to the polls. This is a vital exercise of speech, one that has been hard won through human history, and we should all be proud to participate.
