Paige’s Page Enthusiastically Endorses...

For President, we enthusiastically endorse John F. Kerry.

We believe that John Kerry has the right mix of policies and vision to take this country and move it in a better direction. We have applauded here in this blog his positions on jobs, health care, taxation and many other issues as being positions that will make America a better place. But don't take my word for what Kerry’s policies are (and certainly don’t take the Republican’s word on what Kerry’s policies are), read Kerry’s own words on his policies.

John Kerry volunteered for service in Vietnam and served admirably. Kerry has taken stands throughout his career that have been unpopular in some cases, but eventually Kerry wound up prevailing and making America a better place. Kerry testified against the Vietnam war, bringing the horrors of the war into the public debate and consciousness. Kerry attacked the Iran-Contra scandal, bringing him the disdain of the Reaganites, but it was the right thing for him to do. He dug into the BCCI scandal, despite the wishes of the first Bush administration and even his own party, eventually exposing this scandal and drying up a major source of funds for the terrorists. This is a record that Americans can be proud of. It is a record that bodes well for soon-to-be President Kerry.

In addition, we believe that President Bush has done nothing to merit another four years in office. In fact, we believe that he has adopted policies that are abhorrent and take this country down a divisive road. We believe that virtually every thing President Bush has done in office has been just plain wrong, migsuided or stupid. His biggest failure was to lead us into an unnecessary war with Iraq, resulting in over 1,000 Americans dead, many more thousands wounded, over $150 Billion dollars spent (with many more billions still to be spent), when there was no reason for such a war. Imagine how those billions could have better been spent. There are at least 100 good reasons to be opposed to President Bush.
