Thought you might be interested in some of what author, Tom Wolfe has to say about Kerry and the country. Here's an excerpt and a link:

And John Kerry? "He is a man no one should worry about, because he has no beliefs at all. He is not going to introduce some manic radical plan, because he is poll-driven, and it is therefore impossible to know where or for what he stands."

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uselections2004/story/0,13918,1340525,00.html

He has some things to say that need to be said about this country.

Communism would mean health care for free. Everyone is equal. No (major) difference in income. Seeing that 90% of the national income in the US is earned by only 10% of their citizens, and the government is supporting the rich by lowering (or at least not increasing) the taxes I could draw that conclusion. By my standards there is not more space to go the the right of where the republicans stand right now or you'll enter the area of extreme right of discrimination of ethnic groups, religion and political choice.

>>>Hillary health care was about as liberal as it could get, and as left. I see the Democrat party as headed towards socialism on the way to communism. I have no problem with W's taking us to war after 911. I do have problems with what he has cooperated with on the left. Medicare prescription drugs, Federalizing airport screeners, Signing Campain finance reform to name a few. True conservatism with less government and regulation seems to be MIA.
