Kerry should watch out criticizing wetlands regulation reform in Louisiana. Being a native of south Louisiana, I recall when, it it’s original iteration, wetlands rules were so broad that approximately 85% of the state (including most every back yard south of I-10) could be classified as an official wetland upon which one could build no improvements. Many people, mostly farmers, suddenly found their lands “protected.”

I find it hard to believe how anyone can support this guy Kerry. He promises everybody everything:He will save the wetlands, more money for the fishing industry, more land for hunters. Yet he never says how this will be done. How it will be financed or much of anything on details of HOW it will be done. It seems his whole campaign is about how he is going to be the best Daddy ever and make our lives wonderful. I very much dislike the elitest attitude of Kerry and all the other Democrats who are going to tell me how I ought to live.

All of john kerry’s proposed fights can be funded if the U.S. seeks declination of military activity in Iraw and spending more than a billion dollars per week to be there in the interest of OIL!
