I loathe Heinz ketchup
by Emma Hunt
Photography Editor
I’m sitting here the morning after a long debate between Vice President Dick Cheney and Senator John Edwards. The awful truth for the democrats is Vice President Dick Cheney won with an aggressive fight. I laugh in the Senator’s face and hope people will start catching up on the real issues.
This campaign, to my belief, is focused on the wrong thing. Kerry’s campaign has persistently beaten down the Bush administration for going into Iraq and at capturing Saddam Hussein. In my head, I am always wondering if they are really crazy or on drugs. I know that is not a good thing to say, but truth be told, this is an editorial.
The facts are that the U.N. in the last 12 years has given several resolutions to Saddam and his many followers. The resolutions tell that force will be taken if he does not surrender to the United Nations. Up until 2003, no resolution has come through on their promise, and since we have finally taken care of that problem, we are being attacked by liberals and other over the top democrats. Everyone knows that if Bush wouldn’t have done anything to Saddam or the attacks on our soil, such as go to war, then the Bush administration still would have been cited just as much as they are now.
So, when will these attacks stop? I am not talking about the 527’s, but about the campaigning parties themselves. If you do not know, the Kerry/Edward party has spent almost double more on attack ads on Bush than Bush has spent on attack ads to go against Kerry. Let me tell you something, I’m not merely attacking Kerry, but telling the American people what they should know about our little friends Mr. Kerry and Mr. Edwards.
When the new Prime Minister of Iraq came to speak to the U.S. Congress, guess who wasn’t there, but criticized him right after the speech? Think about it. It was Kerry. You would think as someone who is so concerned with our country and what is going on that he would attend such a conference. The conference changed ties with Iraq, the Prime Minister Allawi, and the Iraqi troops who are contributing to taking their country back from the regime and other terrorists.
I do not think Kerry and Edwards are ready to take over the country even though some of their domestic policies could be a positive thing for our country (although their tax increases are going to kill me!). Their foreign policies are crap. Their outlook is too blurred by their love for themselves and each other, and their stance on most issues change according to what the people would like to hear that day and at that place.
I laugh because all this that has been proven true about the democratic running mates. I can’t believe that some people still go along with their ideas. I am Emma Hunt, I am for Bush, and I like Hunt’s ketchup better. It taste better and it’s cheaper. I’m not telling you who to vote for, I am simply giving you issues to ponder. Remember, if you’re old enough to vote and you choose not to, you have no right to complain.
