What would be different if Kerry had won? Feel free to post things that Kerry would do or not do that would be significantly different from that which was done under the Bush administration.

He would not campaign to add an amendment to the Constitution defining the concept of marriage to man and woman, like I'm told Bush would like to do.

I believe he already tried that with the Federal Marraige Amendment (http://usgovinfo.about.com/cs/usconstitution/a/marriage.htm).

He can still try again, can't he?

The most obvious difference is he wouldn't legislate religion.

Of course. I would think it would be a waste of time though, considering the less than stellar success it turned out to be the first time he tried it.

Who cares, this is not an important issue.

Everyday innocent people are being killed by American bombs in Iraq.

The disgraced Kerry lost the election, well it serves him right for supporting the war.

I hope to god neither Bush nor Kerry ever enjoy another peaceful sleep in their lives.

Every thread on this forum would have the words Bush and Kerry reversed. Other than that, nothing.

Kerry would have essentially stopped the war on terrorism and would have shifted our foreign policy more or less like Chamberlain's appeasement concept.

He would have continued Bush's spending policies, except stop giving money to churches to handle welfare things.

He would have paid for his spending by raising taxes on the middle and upper classes to probably pre-Reagan levels.

So I am pretty content now that he will not have the opportunity to run our fair country.

I agree with all of your post except the part about the war on terrorism. America has never stood for apeasement. He would have pulled back some of it, as it really isn't that big of a threat. But he still would have gone after them. Why not, we can run roughshod over the world, and as long as we don't take over sovereign nations on the other side of the world the rest of the world will love him.

Well not much would really change.

For all the Kerry would screw up Iraq talk; he probably could not. Failure in Iraq would be bad for the US.

The one thing I would have liked is his talk about corporations and job exporting.

Many corporations get tax incentives for job creation.

If Kerry was true to his word, he would have remove that which I think is right.

I think Kerry would not have had a Lumber company person consulting on environmental issues. Power companies defining engery policy.

But this is the relm of what if since we will never know.

Cause they realy need every nickle to make it through another day.

Yes he would. He would try to legislate it out of existence. Yes, this coming from an agnostic.

All right I will bite.

How would he do this and what do you base it on.....
