Marketshare & Politics

If it's good for ketchup, why not for America?
(While written when John Kerry was running for president in 2004, this still applies to whether or not your values and beliefs ever make it to the public marketsquare.)

Before you finalize who you're going to vote for on Tuesday in the 2004 presidential race, consider marketshare as a main reason for voting for a specific candidate. But I bet you never realized how critical marketshare really is for the future of your child, your grandchildren, or your country, America.

First, marketshare is important in the success of a business. Companies such as Heinz, Johnson & Johnson and Pepsi know that marketshare is critical to the future and the growth of their products.

The reasons are obvious.

The greater the marketshare, the greater the market. As the market grows so does the number of customers. The growth cuts individual product cost while increasing the company's image; it allows more products to be distributed, the company's name displayed even more in customer's homes. If a company becomes large enough, it can actually influence entire societies.

For instance, the phrase, 'I'm going to the fridge,' came from the mass marketing of the name 'Frigidaire,' the successful manufacturer of what people used to call an 'icebox' that kept food cold . . . now known to all Americans as a 'refrigerator.'

And we all know today you just don't open a window unless you explain you are either going to cool a room or boot a computer. Bill Gates, through massive marketing worldwide, did this with his platform concept called "Windows." Windows probably owns 90% of the world market today that boots a computer.

The same goes for the apple; are you going to eat one or boot one? Fantastic advertising made this company's name famous but it was 'Windows' that won the marketshare and influenced BILLIONS of people the world over.

So if marketshare is good for a company increasing its business and product image, why not for a democracy . . . for America?

Are you now seeing how the concept of marketshare can effect this election if you want more of it for America?

John Kerry, while supporting marketshare for his wife's company, Heinz, doesn't support it for America. He voted again and again against it when America presidents said America needed more marketshare. For whatever reason, he just doesn't' understand that what's good for Heinz is also good for America.

- When Kerry voted against President Reagan's efforts to end the Cold War, Kerry was voting against more marketshare for America in the world.

- When Kerry voted against the Gulf War and the removing of Saddam from Kuwait, Kerry was voting against more marketshare for America in the world.

- When Kerry now says he is against the Iraq war, he is again against more marketshare for America in the world.

The more marketshare America has among the world's population, the more it spreads the message of freedom. This makes it better for the future of your children and grandchildren, their not having to later fight the spread of these ideologies to American shores that hate their free thought.

Kerry has voted to decrease America's marketshare in the world for decades. It is who he is! So, let's make it simple for you.

Would you want America to be like Windows and influence billions of people, or like Apple, a great idea that few people use. It's up to you. You can vote for America's marketshare in the world by voting for President Bush, a businessman where marketshare is second nature to his upbringing.

Kerry?

He kept America from winning marketshare in Vietnam, tried to do the same in Russia, tried to do the same in the Middle East and Kuwait, and now wants to do the same for Iraq.

Kerry is not just bad for America's marketshare. He's bad for democracy and its growth of marketshare in the world. Vote for Kerry and watch Muslim and Communist influence begin to flourish again in the world.

It works for other ideas, too.

Remember Constantinople? Today its 98% Muslim. Did you know it used to be Christian? Marketshare works for you . . . or against you if someone else promotes their product better than you do.

Or are you against partial-birth abortion, where a fully-grown baby's head, ready to be born, is crushed and its brains literally sucked out by a trained doctor? It comes down to your loss of marketshare if allowed to continue.

So when the media lies or sides with Kerry such as the New York Times and CBS News has recently done, they simply want to take away your marketshare.

If you want your ideology and values to have meaning in the world and not taken away from you, all you need to do is to remember this simple rule about marketshare. If this doesn't scare you, nothing will.
