I really hope people aren't expecting drastic changes if Kerry is elected president. His voting record and actions in the past, along with the entire democrat party in the last 20 years lead me to believe that little if anything will really change. Remember, when it comes to the economy, the president has little control, and when it comes to the budget, war and defecit spending, congress has to approve virtually everything. Even though Bush wanted to go into Iraq, congress approved it. Even though Bush wanted to go into defecit spending, congress approved it as well.
The only thing I can see changing is Kerry will propose higher taxes. However, if the Republican congress stays in control, that will not happen. There is no way his health care reforms will pass through congress, nor will any broad-impacting environmental or regulatory legislation.
So, as I walk into the polling place today, I'll throw my arms up in the air and vote for the incumbent. In the end I'd rather have the stability of an incumbent president that at least preaches lower taxes and smaller government, even if it is all campaign bs, then a new president, who will continue in the same manner as the one before.
Don't believe what the candidates have said during their campaigns, 99.9% is said to make you vote for them and will never come to fruition. And you know what, there's absolutely no way to hold them accountable for it, at least for four years. Look at the way both their parties have voted for the last 25 years, and you'll notice that in the end, you really only have one choice for president.
