DEMOCRATS: Issues-based questions, can you answer?

[KSig RC]

We get heated up in this piece when it becomes Dems vs. Reps, and for good reason: we're all boneheaded douches who know we're right.

NONE of that in this thread.

Instead - answer a couple simple questions for me:

1.) Kerry talks a lot about how 'poorly off' the economy is today. Now, economic indicators are mixed - there's proof in both directions. How does Kerry plan on reversing the current economic status? So far I've heard of middle-class tax cuts and possible education credits - how do these solve the problem?


2.) Kerry's position is that the war in Iraq is a massive mess. What are his specific steps toward cleaning it up?


These two issues are prime for me, and I really can't see a token 'independent' voting for Kerry until they have concrete steps he wants to take to clear these perceived problems up - provide them for me, earn your man some possible votes, and prove us all wrong that he hasn't addressed these issues.
