The media doesn't report much on his plans, and are often innaccurate, so read this for yourself.

Yeah they are too busy covering every single one of his campaign stops.

Umm, no.
The media has tended to cover Bush 4 times as much as Kerry.

You must be kidding. Even after the week long convention coverage, Kerry has been covered MUCH more than Bush.

Here's the link.

No wonder a lot of people say they don't know enough about John Kerry.

LOL.  I wonder if this plan has anything to do with Edwards' plan, which was the only extensive and specific and comprehensive plan presented by any Democrat who ran in '04.

It's got some Edwards stuff in it.

Kerry is only raising taxes on people who make more than $200,000 a year. If you make less than that, your taxes might decrease under Kerry.

I have no problem with this other then all the oil we need to release us from ME oil dependency is sitting in something like less than 1% of the ANWR.


Exactly! Every single time Kerry talks about dependence on foreign oil, all I can do is laugh.

ANWR wouldn't make much difference.

Malpractice premiums are responsible for under 1% of health care costs. And some doctors do crazy things like intentionally murder patients.

even if it did, we're still running on fossil fuels which will eventually run out, and most of it comes from the middle east, and that can make for not the best foreign policy.
Yep.
Production/Demand has already peaked.
If Production hasn't yet peaked, it will soon.

Could this possibly be because Bush is the President and he is acctually making policy?

Not only that, but lack of coverage may acctually be helping Kerry.

The media and the Republicans don't want this to be a discussion of the issues. Amoung people who said issues are the most important, Gore won 55-40.

Have you ever heard of a "wonk"?

It is true that those people who are one issue voters usually side with the Democrats.  Most people who will say that "issues are most important" have one issue in particular in mind.  Some people think that strong leadership is important.  It is not that these people don;t care about issues, as you are attempting to assert, they just aren't one issue types.  They usually want a leader who can get it done on a host of issues, not just abortion, welfare, etc.  In this election, those people seem to favor Bush.  That is just a reality.  

That's bullsh**t. Democrats care about more than 1 issue.
