I just tried the SelectSmart “who should you vote for” test and Sen. John Edwards came top of my list based on the positions he has taken, followed closely by Howard Dean (about whom I have already written). I thought I may as well check the sites of the main contenders to see for myself – and I find I don’t agree with SelectSmart.
(note – though I have made my home in the UK and left the US when I was two I am a registered US voter so this is not idle musing on my part).
I have to say I am still not happy with Edwards’ assertion on his website that:
“He has repeatedly called for delaying additional tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, and believes the tax cuts for middle income families should be permanent. The Senator has also called for increasing the estate tax exemption to $7 million per family to protect small businesses and farmers, but not a complete repeal of the estate tax.”
He’s practically endorsing the Bush tax cuts for heavens sake! Delays not cancellation of the worst cuts, probably weaselling about what “middle income” means, and essentially removing the estate tax for large swathes of people who by any measure could be called wealthy.
Kerry (who is next on my list apparently) appears even worse – his website doesn’t even mention the Bush tax cuts.
Kucinich – next down on my list – is actually the closest to my views in most respects but he is a protectionist, which I find hard to stomach and I fear in any case he stands little chance of getting anywhere (though he did get 24% of the votes in the MoveOn.org primary).
Boy it’s depressing looking at the US political scene…
John Kerry, like Geerge W. Bush, is a member of Yale’s elitist super-secret society for the scions of the Eastern Eastablishment. His views on the future globalized New World Order probably differ little from Bush’s, even though he’s publicly criticized him on Iraq. See the report at http://www.survivalistskills.com/kemp.htm.
Whether the Iaq war was justified or not, in the so-called “war on Terror”, the only losers are US.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, for example, is now paying big dollars to top KGB officials to advise it on improving its surveillance of ordinary American citizens! See the news report at http://www.survivalistskills.com/kgb.htm
Each new conflict moves us, in contrived stages, one step closer to the elite’s New World Order.
The ‘New World Order’ is a favorite dream of globalist politicians on both the left AND the right, in both the U.S. and the U.K.
In accelerating us toward it, they’ve contrived the “Cold War”, the “War on Drugs”, the “War on Terror”, etc. In all of these ‘wars’, the only loser is the typcal citizen.
The sad result of the current ‘War on Terror’ is that citizens in nation after nation have lost ancuent rights and freedoms, in most cases forever, as a result.
