Fiscal conservatives don't vote Republican today

Hilarious.

Ever noticed the national debt? Fiscal conservatives don't vote for a huge national debt.

Let's review Kerry's talking points from 2004:
--Bush failed to fully fund NCLB
--Bush's Prescription Drug Coverage doesn't go far enough
--Bush doesn't give states and cities enough money for Homeland Security
--Bush isn't spending enough on our troops in Iraq
--We don't have enough troops, let's increase the ranks with incentives
--We need to give health coverage to every American

Let's review Kerry's 2004 spending cut proposals
--<File Not Found>

The Democrats won't attract fiscal conservatives until they stop presenting a huge laundry list of new spending every time they run for office.

She has 100% ratings from every liberal group out there, and you think this is the direction your party needs to go in?  Good.

Wasn't he trying to prove that Boxer is not an extremist?

If Boxer is so wonderful why aren't Democrats clamoring for her to run for President?

Because she wouldn't win. But she'd be a great president.

She wouldn't win because she is extreme.

She ran significantly better than Kerry, and got the most votes anyone has ever gotten in a non Presidential election in US history.

OK, so if California seceeds and she runs for President of California, she would win.

Well, they seem to exist a lot more on other sides of the political compass. If I have to talk about Democratic extremists, I'd have to say Larouche supporters, but I'm not sure if there's even a place on the political compass for them.

If you're far right, you're an extremist.  If you're far left, you're not.  Does anyone see a double standard here?

What a bunch of utter bullsh**t. Kerry is a moderate. Get your head out of your ass.

John Kerry:
--supports public funding of abortion
--supports public funding of embryonic stem cell research
--opposes capital punishment
--in 2002, received an F from the NRA and 100% approval from the Brady Campaign
--received a 0% approval from the National Right to Life and 100% approval from NARAL
--voted against the DOMA (which passed with large bipartisan support), opposes Clinton's "don't ask/don't tell" policy and has received a 100% rating from the nation's largest gay-rights group

How is he a moderate on social issues?
