- I'm actually confused. Hopefully we will have better people running for presidency when I am old enough to vote. Okay so I saw the presidency debate. This is what I picked up on. Please, correct me if I am wrong. I’m not stating opinions, but actually written facts, or verbal facts from the debate.
Bush:
- For tax cuts
- Accuses Kerry of voting against tax-cuts,
- Believes that people should be able to pick their own health car provider
- Believes that high-technology should be introduced to health care providers.
- Says that there will be more jobs available for Americans- Jobs have increased while he was president.
- Believes that there should be a temporary work card for immigrants who are willing to work.
- Believes that immigrants who have been in the US for a long time, have a record of good conduct, and have US citizen children, should be made a permanent citizen.
- Against gay marriages, because he believes that marriage is between a man and a woman.
- Pro-life.
- Believes that adoption options are better than abortion.
- Believes that abortion use should decrease.
- Believes that there should be more “abstinent programs.”
- Accuses Kerry of saying "It is a wrong war, at the wrong time, wrong place."- A man who sees this war as a mistake cannot lead America out os this war successfully.
- Bush accuses Kerry of pissing country leaders off- causign the loss of some allies.
Kerry:
- Kerry says that the tax-cut should only include people with salaries over $200,000 a year. He believes that cutting taxes for everyone, will insure that social security will be in a crisis.
- Believes that people should have the opportunity to chose the same health-care that is offered to politicians (A.K.A important people).
- Accuses Bush of causing Americans to lose jobs.
- Believes that immigrants should not be aloud into the US. Should have stronger boarders. He accuses Bush of weakening the boarder, because over 4,000 immigrants cross the boarder daily.
- Say that Bush is the only president that has been in presidency when many Americans lost their jobs.
- Accuses Bush of closing and making it illegal for health-care providers to bargain for medicine. Meaning that consumers will pay more money for their prescriptions.
- Is against gay marriages, but believes that homosexuals should have some of the rights that heterosexual people do. For example; visiting their partners in the hospital should be allowed.
- Pro-choice.
- Stated that he believes that life starts during conception.
- Believes that women should have the right to get abortions- it is their choice.
- Sees nothing wrong with abortion, and would not speak against it-- but for it.
- Accuses Bush of ignoring Osama Binladen and rushing into war with Iraq, for no logical reason.
- Accuses Bush of going to war with no allies.
During the vice presidential debate, Cheney stated that his daughter is a lesbian. He clearly states that he loves his daughter no matter what her sexual preference is. He never said that he agreed with Bush’s opinion about gay-marriages. Kerry stated that Bush is the only president, since World War II, that has been “in power” while jobs for Americans have taken a dive. It was surprising to me that Bush never lashed back at Kerry against this accusation. Truly I believe that it is a weak and misled accusation. Truth is that jobs in American have decreased because of the situation that America is in. During World War II, all the men went to war, while the women went to work. Of course jobs were lost. We are in almost the same situation now. America is focused on the war. Jobs are hard to create and to keep going, under these circumstances. I am not sure. I think I am leading toward Bush’s side. I would not like to see another four years of war though. Maybe Kerry has vague and wrong points of views, but can he be a better president? Does he have better judgment?
