What are bush's * foreign policy plans for 2005 - 2008? They aren't on |
|
his website!!!
My neighbor, who voted for * in 2000, is on the fence about him now. She hasn't been happy with the war in Iraq, among other things, and now her son is in ROTC in college and just got an Army scholarship, which means he has to be active duty 3 yrs after he gets out. This has her scared silly with regard to Iraq, etc.
So she asks me if I would put together a little spreadsheet showing Kerry's foreign policy positions and *'s. That way she can compare them side by side. And she only wanted the info to be stuff FROM the horses' mouth, only what Kerry and * had actually SAID they will do about foreign policy from 2005 to 2008.
Well I went to the Kerry site and found a speech he gave in Feb on foreign policy and was able to boil it down to 21 very specific points of action. I am a Deaniac, but now support Kerry and I have to say, I was pretty impressed by what he said.
I went to the * re-selection website and get this: COULD FIND NOTHING as far as his foreign policy ideas for the next presidential term. Nope, nothing. If you click on Homeland Security they have the transcript of the "press conference" he gave a week or so ago and I took a few points from that which boils down to "more of the same".
She's going to think I intentionally didn't put as much on the bush side, but I am going to point her in the direction of her website and challenge her to find more than that. When I looked on the tab called "National Security" it was even worse.
Anyone have the stomach to help me? She is leaning Kerry but I've got to get her to fall off that fence on the Kerry side. If she does, her husband will. And who knows where that will lead to....
Thanks for any help......I cannot believe this guy doesn't have specific stuff outlined for AFTER the election.....no wait, yes I do.

but I can't use it in my spreadsheet. She only wants what HE personally has said with regard to foreign policy plans for the next four years.
Same for Kerry, so she is being fair about it.
Either way, bush comes off looking bad, because I honestly cannot find anything, even on his own re-selextion site.
