well said.
There is no chance anyway of any type of universal care. Thats simply a tagline that pops up every 4 years. There is too much business in sickness. It is like flat tax, great idea, never gonna happen. Too much money made in the tax massaging business. Plus how can ya have a flat tax when you make an exception for a certain group (AGI below X gets exempt = not flat tax).
I think you hit it on the head with the democrats. They will tell you anything you want to hear. The platform wavers daily depending on whom they are speaking to. I don't know if Kerry would be any good at terrorist deterence. I don't believe Bush has done very well at all. He started right with Afghanistan, but shifting the target, and alienating the very countries needed to win this wasn't a good call imho. If Kerry wins, better chance of global cooperation, but potential for wreckless abandon on social programs. Bush is a big social program funder, the programs just happen to be in Iraq. I'ld rather vote for my dog then either of them, and my dog is an idiot.
