Its looking like this presidential election will be a close one. In any endeavor, its always a good idea to have contingency plans for any outcome. So, here's the bright side for non-Kerry supporters if Kerry is elected--we get to hold him to the same standards and take the same cheap shots he has aimed at President Bush. Accordingly:

1. If anything goes wrong, or any mistakes are made in Iraq, no matter how small, or how far down the chain of command it goes--its Kerry's fault. It will be absolute proof of his abject incompetence and misplaced priorities as Commander in Chief.

2. If we don't instantly regain all the jobs that were lost after the end of the late 90's economic bubble, and add more, Kerry is a complete failure on the economy.

3. If he doesn't provide free healthcare for the majority of Americans without raising taxes on the middle class, and without turning our healthcare system into a bureaucratic nightmare like Canada's, he is a complete failure on healthcare.

4. If we don't have an excess supply of vaccine for all known illnesses on hand, all the time, including anthrax, he is a complete failure.

5. If any illegal aliens get across our borders, it is Kerry's fault.

6. If 100% of all shipping containers coming into our country are not thoroughly checked for weapons and chemicals, Kerry is a failure. (He must do this within budget, and without bringing commerce to a halt.)

7. If France and Germany and a host of other "good" allies don't replace a large portion of our troops in Iraq with their own troops, Kerry is a complete failure.

8. If inner-city crimes involving guns continue, it is Kerry's fault for not removing the guns.

9. If we don't promptly end our reliance on foreign oil, while keeping our economy bustling, it will be Kerry's fault.

10. If so-called global warming continues, it will be Kerry's fault.

11. If the Red Sox fail to win the World Series again next year, it will be Kerry's fault. (He could certainly step in with federal subsidies to keep the team together!)

12. If he doesn't save Social Security and Medicare without raising taxes, and without decreasing or delaying benefits, Kerry will be a complete failure.

13. If tax incentives or subsidies of any nature are given to any evil Corporations, it will be absolute proof of Kerry's sellout to evil Corporations.

14. If any terror attacks occur against Americans, it will most assuredly be all Kerry's fault.

15. If we don't completely clamp down on all possible terrorists in our country without impacting civil liberties one iota, Kerry will be a failure.

16. If anything at all goes wrong--it will be Kerry's fault, and the direct result of his foolish failure to have "A Plan" to prevent it.

The list could go on and on. This could be fun. Unfortunately, the fate of our nation is too important.
