Mark Has 20 Questions for John Kerry


From the TIB Network:

1.Why is it, Senator Kerry, that you used a lack of income tax disclosure against an opponent in 1990, but you will not disclose your wife's tax returns?

2. Speaking of finances, how do you honestly say that you will pay back the multi-million dollar loan you took out on your half of a home you and your wife own in Beacon Hill? Especially considering that according to records your worth is between -$100,000 and $200,000? And, consider your salary is between 100,000 and 200,000? Do you honestly expect us to believe your wife won't be assisting?

3. Why is it that you did not chastise your surrogates like Terry McAuliffe for doggedly going after President Bush's military records, yet you consider it a personal attack when people ask for yours, especially after YOU PROMISED to release them?

4. Why is it that, if you are so much more of an environmentalist than President Bush, that:
You own the largest gas guzzling private jet,
You have 5 mansions that eat resources,
You have a fleet of SUVs that troll your grounds,
You own a giant yacht that eats gas,

And you are against windfarms in the wind rich region of Cape Cod, because they would lower your property values and obstruct your "view?"

5. If you are so strong on defense, why does YOUR VOTING RECORD show that you have voted against every major weapon system we now use?

6. Back to the environment: Why are you and Democrat colleagues holding up the bill that would fund anti-erosion efforts along the Mississippi River?

7. If you are so supportive of troops in Iraq, then why did you vote FOR the war but AGAINST the money to outfit and supply our troops? And please, explain it a little better than "I voted for it before I voted against it."

8. If you believe we need intelligence and a strong defense, then why did you vote for every budgetary reduction in these two areas, AND introduce a budget amendment gutting intelligence funding to the point your own Democrat Brethren spoke out against you?

9. Why did you talk about dismantling the CIA?

10. If you believe in tax relief, then why have you voted for every tax increase measure you have come across?

11. If you love your fellow vets so much, why did you call them "murderers" and "Ghengis Khans" in testimony broadcast worldwide, even to Hanoi?

12. Following up on that, why have you not repudiated that testimony, especially since it has been shown that most of the Winter Soldier Accounts you based your assertions on were either totally fraudulent by people who never served?

13. Why is it that you defended Bill Clinton when he was under attack for not serving in Vietnam, but you attack Vice President Cheney and Karl Rove for not serving; and via Surrogates, you attack President Bush? Especially since, it has been shown, Clinton weaseled out of an ROTC pledge and basically fled the country? Hmm?

14. If you want to protect children, then why did you make a pot smoking gesture when "Puff the Magic Dragon" was sang during one of your rallies?

15. If you are so concerned about outsourcing, then why is it that your wife's company (in which you are a big stockholder) outsources 57 of its 79 factories?

16. Why is it that you claim your economic plan will create 10 million new jobs over four years, especially when economists are forecasting that is the growth rate regardless of planning? Are you attempting to take credit for something you will have nothing to do with?

17. Why are you saying your economic plan is proven successful, when only 2 studies out of hundreds done on it say so?

18. Why are you advocating an economic and job creation plan that proved unsuccessful for the Carter Administration, and which had disastrous results for our economy?

19. Why are you advocating trade strategies that have proven damaging to the economy, going back to Tom Jefferson's tariff (punitive tariffs)?

20. Isn't it the People's business to know if a candidate is more influenced by foreign citizens/leaders than by Citziens of the US? If you think so, then why did you say it was none of a citizen's business when he asked you what leaders you had spoken with?

The answers, to these and many other questions is simple: John Kerry is a spineless, coreless political hypocrite who will say and pander anything to get elected. He has no vision, he has no core. That is why he is going back to strategies that have never worked: cut and run internationalist appeasement and typical liberal tax and spending. He is not a visionary, he is not a leader. He is simply wrong.
