Gentlemen:
     I have already voted for George W. Bush, I hope that he will win, but the way the Republicans are presenting themselves, Bush and the Republican party have already CONCEDED the election to Kerry (the Poodle).
     Bush has failed to attack.  He did not answer the folowing questions in the debates, nor any time since.

     1. Kerry claimed that because the so-called Assault Rifle ban was allowed to drop, cops would face AK-47's in the street.  That is a Kerry LIE.  Kerry may be so stupid not to know that AK-47's are machine guns, and have been banned since 1933, but surely someone in the RNC can get the facts out . . . (Kerry is definitely counting on the uninformed-ness of the masses - which works great every time).

     2. Kerry has claimed that the Democrats "fixed"  Social Security in 1994,and that he will do nothing, since it is just fine, thank you. The so-called  fix may have extended the failure of Social Security for a couple of years, but it will fail for lack of funds.  When there are only 2 workers for each person on Social security, the SS tax will have to be about 50%. Bush's plan is a good start, but dammit SHOOT DOWN KERRY!   He is talking garbage. Using information from the US Census Bureau and from the CIA World Factbook, you can run some numbers about how many folks will be over the generally agreed upon age of retirement, 65, in the next 20 years. It is very scary. People are having fewer children, but they are living longer, and the price of living/medical care is not going down. Something fundamental about the system needs to change - if not, there will be serious concequences).

     3. The reason that there is no flu vaccine is because it cannot be economically made in the US.  Our liability laws make the cost of the vaccine 4 or 5 times as much as the basic manufacturing costs: hence we buy in Britain and France.  Don't just sit there like bumps on a log.  LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT THE FLU VACCINE SHORTAGE IS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE COURT SYSTEM.  Kerry is blaming the Administration.  This is ridiculous. (Yeah. Damn Lawyers. Oh wait, all the politicians, on both sides, are lawyers. Whups. But seriously - why wasn't everyone worried about the amount of flu vaccine last year? They had to THROW AWAY doses last year, and that doesn't encourage the vaccine makers to make more vaccine the following year.)

     4. Have Bush say that the Government has no business meddling with the abortion laws.  It should be  a private matter, and he will do nothing to change the law.  Wake up and smell the roses.   Even my sister won't vote for W. because she is afraid that abortions will be made illegal.  (and she is 70 years old).

     There are probably a dozen more items, some of which are even more egregious failures of the GOP.   GET WITH IT!  Try to be at least a little smart.  Talk about how there would have been 40,000 fatalities in the world Trade Center in 1992 if the Al Queda bombs had been more powerful, and the Democrats did nothing!!
     Tell people how much per person is being spent to make them safer. Point out that Kerry would need 10 times that much to do what he says. 

     FOR THE LOVE OF PETE,   GET WITH IT!!   I do NOT want 4 years of the POODLE!!!



             Yours truly, 
             Edward B. Boyle, Jr.   An ardent Republican, but very worried.
