Yay, no Andrew F. Adams
I totally assumed that The Daily Cal would throw in another Andrew F. Adams column before the election, and was pleasantly suprised to not see it at first. But then I noticed they had brought in a Guest Andrew F. Adams for today, one Professor Arthur Blaustein.
Summary: A Bush victory will be bad, so you should vote for Kerry. That doesn't make any sense, of course, since our voting for Kerry has no impact on whether there will be a Bush victory or not, but meh, whatever.
The only issue he [Bush] has going for him is a manipulative one: that of trying to scare the hell out of the American people with terrorist rhetoric.
Whoa, that sounds bad. We don't want people trying to scare the hell out of the American people.
If Bush is re-elected and the Republicans keep control of Congress, the consequences could be devastating.
Uh, wait, didn't you just say...
With another Bush victory, and big-time IOUs from the religious right and the National Rifle Association coming due, things could get ugly very fast.
Umm... are you sure you meant...
With four more years of Bush’s economic policies, we could wind up on the “endangered nations” list.
Okay, okay, hold it. What exactly was your complaint about Bush trying to scare the hell out of the American public?
But there are many crucial differences between the candidates and the stakes are extremely high. They include the Supreme Court, women’s choice, the environment, campaign finance reform, the economy, the resumption of the draft, separation of church and state, civil liberties, the national debt, public education, health insurance, Medicare and Social Security.
Interesting. 50 points for whoever can explain the differences between the two candidates on the following issues, selected from the list:
Women's choice
Campaign finance reform
The resumption of the draft
Separation of church and state
