John Kerry Campaign
Recent polls have shown President Bush and Sen. John Kerry virtually tied in their chances for getting elected.
Many critics have scored both candidates for having identical position, despite their Republican or Liberal posturing. However, a deeper analysis would show that only Kerry is making solid towards alleviating many of the country's critical social and economic problems.

Kerry's social policies also ensure that he will continue to enjoy this support among the middle class sector.
By focusing his campaign on socio-economic issues, Kerry is appealing...

Gun regulation is not about banning guns, but about controlling who has access to them. As proposed by the President, background checks are essential when it comes to being able
interventionism from the perspective of realism vs. idealism. Realism is defined in relationship to states' national interests whereas idealism is defined in relation to the UN's Responsibility to Protect doctrine -- a doctrine heavily influenced by Western rhetoric over the past decade. By addressing the question of interventionism from this standpoint, by way of a case study of Libya and Syria, a picture of the realistic implications of "humanitarian
17). The third secondary source we will look at here is Kaiser (2009). Kaiser argues that money has corroded the electoral process in the United States. He gives statistical data on the rising cost of political campaigns as an indication of how money's importance has grown in the last several decades. If the campaigns of all the candidates for President, the House, and the Senate cost less than a billion
