Kerry : Opposes new weapons systems.

Bush : Strongly believes in the power of freedom and democracy to change the world for the better.

Kerry : Calls Bush "ideologue" and infers it is "not smart".

Bush : Cut taxes, which increased revenue flow to gov. by stimulating the economy.

Kerry : Would rescind most stimulative part of tax cuts, increase tax code complexity.

Bush : Could have faked WMD in Iraq but did not do so.

Kerry: Filed false reports to make himself look better, while in Vietnam, says his Commanding Officer.

Bush - Cheney : Models of patience and inner strength in times of trouble.

Kerry - Edwards : Panick mode. Appear to have no sense of historical perspective.

Bush : Knows when it's time to pass by unreliable "allies", call on your true friends, and "roll".

Anybody with some more good one-liners, please add 'em! Going into an e'mail I am sending out this evening to friends -- feel free to use any of this you want. Try to couch 'em in terms to appeal to undecideds.

George W. Bush -- has a record of accomplishment, first as Governor than as President and Commander -in-Chief.

John Kerry -- has nothing much to show for 20 years in the Senate (believe he named a Federal Building and this was his biggest show of leadership).
