The differences between John Kerry and Preznit Send-me-a-check in a nutshell:
"These are pretty stark differences," said Robert D. Reischauer, president of the Urban Institute and former head of the Congressional Budget Office. "Kerry is expansive and wants to preserve and strengthen the role government has played in the economic and social life of the republic, and Bush would like to scale back the role of government to the most basic services of protection of life and liberty and a safety net for those who really have no ability to care for themselves."
Yeah, what he said.
Of course the republicans will have a field day with this, immediately after banning instruction in higher math (balancing a checkbook) and philosophy (common sense). All references to said subjects will be removed from future massive testing measures and replaced with "why god is good for the economy" and "how jesus made ends meet on a budget".

That's not actually true -- Bush expanded Medicare, enacted federal testing in k-12 education and wants to use the government to tell you to get married and go to church.
I don't know where Bush gets his smaller government cred. The guy's the world's biggest panderer.
A right-winger pandering to the center gets you the worst of both parties. A left-winger pandering to the center brings you pretty good government.
