Platform Of Lies Not Paying Off For Kerry

With 14 days to go, lets take a look at the Kerry Campaign.

Minority support is slipping; big time I'm happy to say. Heard on the radio today, Kerry was 'courting' blacks. Gawd, what an offensive thing to do. But the focus of the news story was that Kerry enjoys the support of blacks by 4 to 1. That sounds great if you're Kerry. What the story doesn't say is that the number used to be a lot higher, like 7 or 8 to 1. Now that doesn't sound too great for Kerry. Amazing how the mainstream media tries their best to keep you from knowing. Jewish support, another voter block that was heavily weighted toward the Democrat party, is also ebbing for Kerry.

Kerry is spending his precious remaining campaign time going to areas that are already Democrat strongholds, while Bush is going to Democrat strongholds. Bush is trying to reach them; Kerry is trying to keep them. Kerry campaign must think that they can't afford to go get new support from conservatives by visiting them, instead, they'll try to offend them enough with the thought of Cheney's daughter being a lesbian that they will stay home. That's how Kerry plans to lead as President.

The Kerry campaign seems to be hinging on lies they want people to believe, and the closer we get to Nov. 2, the louder they (like Al Gore) get.

List of Lies from the Kerry campaign trail:

1. Bush prevented 1 million black voters from voting in 2000.

2. Bush said there was a connection between 9/11 and Saddam Hussein.

3. Bush said that Iraq was an imminent threat.
4. Bush has a 'January Surprise,' (neat thing about this one is it also presumes that they've lost the election) after beginning his second term Bush will immediately privatize social security and cut social security benefits for seniors in half.
5. Bush will resume the military draft.

Now this list is not intended to be all-inclusive. Listen for these accusations. Then from the ones leveling them, listen for some positive policy initiative to correct it. The campaign is bankrupt of ideas, if you don't count the ideas of how to demonize their opponent. And people, including their favorite, traditional voting blocks, are beginning to see that they don't like Kerry's message.
