February 16, 2004Comparison - Kerry v. Bush
Mother Jones has helpfully provided a side-by-side comparison of John Kerry and George W. Bush's military and political careers in the late '60s and early '70s. [via rc3]

kkk Posted by: kkk at February 26, 2004 12:23 PMIt's not going to work to be completely biased against President Bush. bush was drinking and snorting and making business deals while kerry was serving in public office. you may not like his voting record but he was there. bush was a drunk. but i guess with the ignorance of most americans, bush represents more people. kerry is just too good for most americans. Posted by: b at September 2, 2004 01:45 PMBush is the man, and at least he can admit hes got the normal problems like every other American. Hes not a skinny little dog-faced prick who gets purple hearts for tripping and stubbing his toe, and bases his vote solely on what people at the time want him to say. I just love it how after the 9\11 attack all you democrats wanted us to go into Afghanistan and bring down terrorism, but now since Bush has kept America safe the last few years, you forget about just what these terrorists can do and want to let them slide. Next time you talk to a terrorist just ask him who he would vote for, ill put my life on it he wont say Bush. Posted by: btj at September 16, 2004 06:04 PMit's amazing how you don't think the normal american soldier doesn't have problems similar to john kerry, who actually served in a war. and of course democrats, republicans, and other parties supported the war, until it became bush's backyard party in other people's countries. as far as i am aware, saddam hussein was captured and the country was told the war is over, and yet our soldiers and other citizens are still being killed. imagine the ridiculousness of americans wanting a new president? Posted by: at September 16, 2004 07:01 PM How can anyone take that comparison seriously? It's completely biased. It shows all of Kerry's strong points and all of Bush's weaknesses, but no vice-versa. It's crap. Bush, yes he has problems. The war is one, but when you look at Kerry is he any better? Kerry is for gay marriages and abortion, you cant even try to convine me that that is right. Posted by: bush at September 25, 2004 04:08 PMBush and Kerry both have issues. Lets go for the more "all together" president. Why not Dean? He isnt for gay marriages, abortion, or the war. In my oppinion Dean is the best choice. Posted by: Lets Hack this bush at September 25, 2004 04:13 PMI think Kerry is better than Bush, he at least respscts people for their oppinions, and gives them their own choices. All Bush is is "no" this and "no" that and "HEY! lets take over Irag because they have nonexistant weapons of mass destruction!" Over 1000 people have died over there. C'mon man! Posted by: Kaitlyn at September 26, 2004 09:33 PMYOU ARE ALL IDIOTS, WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS. AND I SAY WE KNOW WHAT WE GOT WITH BUSH. LET HIM FINISH, WHO KNOWS WHAT WE WILL GET WITH KERRY. Posted by: FRANK at September 29, 2004 05:51 PMAs a first time voter, this website was absolutely useless to me. I thought that having some kind of comparison, would help me better my decision. As a "newbie" to this, I had this silly, little thought in my head that the election should be based on what person matches the needs of us, Americans - NOT about who did what when they were in their teens and early 20's. So what if Bush took his brother out drinking before he was of the legal age. Honestly, who did not try alcohol, or let someone try some alcohol, before the legal age. I thought that website would help me better my decision and all that I've seen is whining from people who are voting on what will happen to MY LIFE over the next 4 years?? Posted by: Cathy at September 29, 2004 10:06 PMBush is no good for the USA! http://www.nwf.org/action/ http://www.savebiogems.org/ http://earthjustice.org/ http://wilderness.org (Wilderness Society) http://www.sierraclub.org/voter_education/sharingpriorities2004.pdf (**gives good comparison of Bush & Kerry's views & actions regarding USA's air, water, and wildlands) http://www.beefusa.org/BushKerryComparison.htm (!!must read - another fair comparison) **Bush twists things Kerry says to distort Kerry's words & intensions. We Cannot Trust Him! Every issue wrote about above is explained rationally by Kerry at one point or another - open your minds and listen to Kerry's explanations - don't be fooled by Bush and his party - that's exactly what they are counting on - Americans that do not do their homework! Here are a couple more sites to look into to get educated. http://www.publiceyestv.org/bush_kerry_environmental_records.htm (another comparison) http://www.presidentmatch.com/Compare.jsp2?idlist=5|10| http://ua.org/issues.htm (some Union views - see Sen. Amendment 1580, 2003 - Bush working to take away overtime pay for millions of workers making as little as $23,600/year!) i think that both candidates are crazy about everything and that bush is the crazier one Posted by: Freak at October 27, 2004 06:52 PMDuring this election i think tha Kerry will and i have faith in Him. Bush is a great president too but i think that we should give Kerry a chance a see what he gots to offer. Posted by: Lynn at October 27, 2004 06:55 PMLook, here is the bottom line; As a U.K resident and watching the U,S elections from affar, has nobody raised the question:- " out of the whole of massive population of the United States Of America, are these two buffoons the best that is on offer?" |
