I am quite sure there is some trouble with the democrats and not with republicans.
In fact, since it is proved that socialism and everything related is bad for a society and even not wanted anymore as for an utopian world, many people do see anything that converge on those principles as wrong and could very well figure the nightmare that this would lead to. This is of course exagerated but why should they experiment to what extent it can be bearable ?
In fact in those days, there are no more poors. Poor means hungry to me, and there is no more food problems regarding this, but only for the lazy without familly and no children, no wife. Even those could beg for some money and get those easily. I am not realy concerned and I don't think people should regarding social security for people with psychological problems.
So what is social security and all that welfare state made for ? It is made for people eager of power and wanting money for nothing. I mean this about those who promote the system and want to rule it. This system is crap and I am quite unsure how easy is to get rid of it once it is there in place. The people ruling, just got too much easy power from the tax payer to pervert the whole system. That was Kerry's program. He just spoke enough about it to frighten anyone about the kind of French model he wanted for the US.
Now, about UNO, allies and the messy solution for Iraq, Afghanistan and Bin Laden and people of his kind, I would answer no mercy as Kerry confirmed. However, to some extent I find that Kerry had no mercy but especilly for the individuals in Iraq. He wanted a joined solution with Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria, France, Germany and whoever wants something else than the best for the individuals in Irak. The problem of the iraqi is terrorism today but their other problems, Saddam, Islamic Junta or whatever sick political leader are gone. They were so happy about it that they just kept their breath for Bush to be reelected.
Kerry and the Democrats have failed to understand that even regarding wars and international agreements over citizen rights, I mean individuals, is over. People want to be in control of their lives, not whatever convention between leaders. The rule of UNO is over. The rule of man has come. Somehow Bin Laden is in touch with this new world of freedom. He takes some profit from this and from that first big shot, but his leadership will be gone when the rule of man will be established everywhere in the Arabic area. The followers of those terrorists will be out of fashion.
