THE SMART MONEY IS ON A KERRY-EDWARDS TICKET
Pictures from New Hampshire
Check back later this morning for pictures from New Hampshire!
The New Hampshire primary is now history. Life in Manchester will now return to its frigid winter normality until 2008 .. the next time the voters will really matter on a national scale.
After Kerry's New Hampshire win, and the strong showing from John Edwards, the smart money is betting on a Kerry / Edwards Democratic ticket in November. That's wonderful. Here's two candidates who (a) can't wait to raise taxes and spend money; and (b) have never pledged to pursue or win the war on terror if they're actually elected.
I heard a sound bite from John Kerry this morning where he was slamming George Bush on the size of the federal deficit. You do realize, don't you, that even though John Kerry is proposing massive tax increases on the rich, he also has spending proposals on the table that would exceed any revenue increases that might come from his tax increases. In other words, his calls for tax increases are designed for one thing; to appeal to the envy and desire for revenge that festers in the hearts of so many Americans. These Americans could care less about budget deficits. They only want those who have more than they to be punished for their success. Democrats are willing to carry that banner with their calls for confiscatory tax rates.
Pollsters ... and Howard Dean, by the way ... are telling us that the two most important issues in New Hampshire were health care and jobs. Excuse me, but isn't New Hampshire the "Live free or die" state? They drive around with that motto on their license plates while worrying about how they can get the government to satisfy their health care and jobs needs? What about freedom? What about economic liberty? What about being safe from the murderous designs of Islamic Jihadists? These things aren't at the top of the list in the "Live free or die" state?
Sadly, the voters of New Hampshire probably aren't all that much different than the voters in most other states. They're just colder. Years of political pandering have taught these people to look not to their own resources, but to the government to satisfy their basic needs. Freedom? Oh sure. We want to be free to decide where we can live, and we want to be free to chose what we're going to have for dinner tonight. We want to be free to decide where to go on vacation, and which type of car we drive (as long as it's not an SUV). But do we want to be free to fend for ourselves in the jobs market? For many of us, the answer is no. The government owes us jobs. The government should make sure we have jobs. No matter how much we squander our educational opportunities, the government should make sure we have jobs, and the government should see to it that we're paid more than we're worth to insure we can raise a family with no job skills and a limited work ethic.
And health care? Nope, that's not our responsibility either. We should be free to eat what we want, and to exercise or not, but we don't want the freedom to provide for our own health care. Our employer is supposed to do that. Everybody knows that employers are supposed to do so much more than pay us for our work. They're supposed to take care of all our health needs also; and if they don't do it, then the government should. No .. we don't want the freedom to take care of our own health care needs. After all, we might make some wrong decisions? It' OK if we mess up on a choice for a vacation site, or where to live. After all, we're free to move if we want to. But if we screw up on a health care issue the consequences can be severe ... so we'll pass that responsibility off to someone else.
Make no mistake. There are a significant number of Americans who are only willing to pay lip service to the idea of freedom. When the chips are down, and when the consequences of a bad decision are severe, these people plead for the federal government to remove the burden of freedom and replace it with the cloak of government-provided security. What a shame. Evidently there are quite a few people who fit that description in the "Live free or die" state. Maybe they ought to give some thought to a new license plate slogan: "Security, not Freedom."
