9 Minutes From Debate 2004 That Foreshadowed Debate 2012 (VIDEO)

If you ever wondered “why our country is where it’s at,” Save Jerseyans, then this 9+ minute clip from the 2004 presidential domestic policy debate will provide some clarification.

The big Bush vs. Kerry clash revolved around topics that will all be rehashed tonight when Obama and Romney meet in Denver, Colorado: (1) Medicare cut accusations, (2) nationalized healthcare rationing, and (3) dangerous debt spending. New debate, same as the old debate!

Interestingly, John Kerry spent 2004 campaigning on a health care reform proposal that he swore wasn’t “national health care.” That claim was repeated in the debate clip below. Flash forward eight years, and Senator Kerry is assisting President Obama with debate prep after he played an instrumental role in shepherding the ObamaCare legislation through the U.S. Senate. Oh, sweet irony…
