Reply #15: Electability more than a buzzword [View All]

We've been giving the reasons for months now. Electability means alot. I just talked to a guy today who said he was leaning Kerry because he knows Kerry has worked on health care for a long time. It's true, despite what people around here want to believe. His record gives his words credibility and when stacked up against Bush or any other candidate, electability.

His credibility on Iraq doesn't come from his war record, it comes from being involved in national security and foreign policy issues for 20 years.

His credibility on foreign policy comes from his work in Vietnam, Cambodia and other foreign countries as well as his work on Kyoto, Jordan Trade Agreement, etc.

His credibility on domestic security comes from being involved with first responders for years. It comes from investigations into money laundering, drug & gun smuggling, and similar issues related to terrorism for years. And recommending courses of action that we now see were right, like reorganizing the CIA.

His credibility on domestic policy comes from cops on the street and crime legislation, welfare reform, budget reductions, small business interests, womens rights, education, health care, etc.

Add in his core nature to fight, which we see even though others don't, and you've got a candidate who can beat the tar out of George Bush. More electability.
