As near as I can tell, it's about 98% of pilots who are smart enough to
realize that a Kerry administration would be a disaster.

When the Democrats see a problem like the coming crunch in ATC capacity,
they just can't resist the "Tax and Spend" response.

Same thing with a host of other things:

Guess how many people OTHER than Mexicans are walking across our southern
border? Hint? It's more than the margin of the popular vote by which Gore
lead Bush in the last election. These are people from other countries who
went to Mexico first because they knew it was the easiest way in if their
papers wouldn't stand up at an airport of entry.

Sit at any railroad crossing and watch the cars go by. What do you see on
the sides of the Hazmat cars? GRAFFITI! The war in Iraq makes me feel real
safe from terroism.

When Democrats see problems, that old "Tax and Spend" is just like a knee
jerk.

Now, the Republican's aren't really different on the spend part although
they tend to spend on different things. It's the tax part that is important.
Cutting taxes and giving money back to the richest is important because they
already have everything they need and won't spend it on silly things like
necessities that will just increase the demand and inflationary pressures on
consumer goods. Most of those things come from China now anyway. Instead,
they'll pump the money into the imaginary value of companies by buying stock
and increase stock values which everyone knows is the only measure of our
economic health and strength.

The Republican strategy is "Borrow and Spend" and the real genius is to
borrow the money from our children. Children don't vote so their future
upset over their taxes won't increase risk of a Democratic administration
after the next election.
