The Issues

Did Kerry crudely mention that Dick Cheney’s daughter was a lesbian for purely political reasons? Yes, of course, but I don’t care.

Is Dick Cheney’s daughter a lesbian? Sure, but what difference does it make?

Did GW let Osama Bin Laden escape at Toro Bora? OBL is dead, probably at Tora Bora, but if he isn’t, does it make much difference? Not really.

Does John Kerry change his positions on issues a lot? Yeah, so what?

Did George Bush get preferential treatment to get into the National Guard, and then not show up sometimes? Undoubtedly, but I don’t care.

Did John Kerry exaggerate and lie about his military record? Yeah, looks that way, but it was a long time ago, and I don’t care.

Is the doomed Federal Marriage Amendment a stupid, bigoted, paranoid idea? Yup, it sure is, but it ain’t gonna happen, so I don’t care.

Did the Bush tax cut save the economy? No, it probably had only a marginal effect.

Has the Bush tax cut and big spending doomed us by letting the deficit get out of control? No, it probably had only a marginal effect.

Has there been a net job loss during the Bush administration? Yeah, but it wasn’t really his fault and things have been steadily improving the last 2 or 3 years.

Is there a social security crisis? No, but it could use some improvement.

Is there a health care crisis? No, but it could use some improvement.

Is it a mistake for Bush to have cut off federal funding for certain kinds of stem cell research? Yeah, maybe, but it’s not a big deal.

Is the flu vaccine debacle a big mess? Yes, it’s kinda dumb, but the only time I got a flu shot, I got the flu two days later, so I don’t care.

Are the Republicans destroying the environment? No, the environment has been steadily improving for decades no matter which party was in power.

Are George Bush and John Ashcroft taking away our civil liberties? No, we have more civil liberties than we know what to do with. I have yet to meet or even hear of anyone who has been impacted by the Patriot Act.

Is John Kerry a glib, phony liberal? Well yeah, but what’s your point? How do you think you get elected to the Senate in Massachusetts?

Is George Bush a dyslexic, inarticulate, simpleton? Well, he’s obviously dyslexic and inarticulate, but doesn’t look like that much of a simpleton to me. I wish he could speak like Winston Churchill or Tony Blair, but I don’t care that much.

Did John Kerry give aid and comfort to the enemy during the Vietnam war? Yes, clearly, but we all did stupid things back then. I just don’t care.

Will George Bush fight the war against the jihadists with everything he’s got, without wavering, without backing down, no matter what? Yes, I’m sure he will.

Will Kerry? It’s conceivable, but very doubtful.
