For Kerry, or against Bush

Recommended Posts

I'm voting _for_ Bush, because he's not Kerry.

How's that for putting it on it's head?



i agree, unfortunately the more fundamental extremist religious dogma that man spouts and attempts to ram down america's collective throat, the closer i am to pulling a 'Kerry'. :|

Well, I would have liked a -better- choice than Kerry, but since I truly believe that GWB has done this country far more harm than good, I can't reward GWB with a vote and I feel it's my duty to vote for the way most likly to remove him from office. To that end, I have to vote for Kerry.

Others may think that Kerry will do more harm, but history has yet to be written for the next term and I simply do not wish to relive the last.

At the start of this campaign season I was most definately not an "Anybody But Bush" voter, but some votes cast in some states with fewer votes than in some counties near where I live has forced my hand.

The current primary process stinks. The average person in my part of the country had no voice, whatsoever, in who will be the Democratic Party candidate.

There's a difference between a Massachusetts Liberal and a California Liberal?????????



Hopefully, you're just joking as indicated by the smily face.

There are huge differences between the concerns of folks in Ohio, New Hampshire and California.

It is a mistake to lump all people not for GWB into the liberal category -- especially if you use the term in a derogatory manner like Limbaugh does on a daily, if not minute-by-minute, basis. It is perhaps "good radio", but it is not reality.

It is "convenient" to throw the labels around when attempting to make an argument or joke, but it is perhaps the least well educated thing I see go on in this Forum on a daily basis.

Neither.. I'm for Bush.

I do not like everything about him, in fact I hate that he is interested in pushing some of his religious beliefs on us all, but of course it will take more than just his vote to make those things happen.

I don't think anyone but Bush is capable of handling the current state of our country. To cut him off now would be to hand this mess to someone else. I mean, 4 years isn't hardly long enough to make a difference anyway... but at least I believe he should get the chance to finish what he started.

I feel safer with Bush as the president...
Kerry.. well... it seems he and all the other candidates would like us to believe that our current president is the enemy.. he took jobs away, he got our country further in debt, he went to war on a personal vendetta..
I think it's all crap. I got a check from Bush and tax breaks from Bush that help TODAY not in the future. So what if we're in debt.. really now, who isn't? I mean if the average american has about 50K in debt, why is it illogical that our government would be in a similar financial situation? We ALL live beyond our means. Also, taking jobs away, I know this will really hurt some feelings, but mine is NOT the first generation that has known we must have a career/skills to fall back on. There is always going to be changes like these, we musn't blame any president who is trying to save our country money, because we are unwilling to work harder or learn new skills. Did anyone stop to think these people might be better off if previous presidents had done a better job? I mean, Bush really isn't responsible for what happened before him.. he like all the other presidents are simply trying to keep things running smoothly and try to keep us safe. To blame Bush for the elderly, the aging, the out of work.. I just don't think it's right. We are responsible for our lives and I know it's not fair, but hey, life just isn't fair.

I will continue to support an additional term for the most sincere president I have seen since his father.
We are all human, we all make mistakes...
Kerry will too if he is elected.. noone is perfect.

It will always be impossible to please everyone... but I don't get it, I'm a little guy, I have benefited from GWB as president...what am I missing here?

I guess I'm not alone though... 3 out of 16 votes think Kerry would make a good POTUS.. that really says it all right there! I will look forward to more votes on the subject...

You're assuming that skydivers are representative of the population as a whole?

I'm not really sure I buy into that.

Anyway, my point was that generally speaking skydivers are more likely to be: white, of better than average income and a number of other things that makes the population of skydivers not representative of the general population of the United States.

BTW, if you want polling data . . . try http://www.pollingreport.com/. It has collected polling data from many sources and I find it interesting to contrast the different polls against one another.

I live in Massachusetts, and I love Kerry so much I could not stand to lose him as my senator, so I'll vote for Bush.:S

The sad part about it, either way the election goes it still sucks for Massachusetts.[:/]

Just got this, and thought it funny:

One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut. After the haircut he asked about his bill and the barber replies: "I'm sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing 'community service' this week. The florist is pleased and leaves the shop.

Next morning when the barber goes to open up, there is a ''thank you card' and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.

Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his bill the barber again replies: "I'm sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing 'community service' this week." The cop is happy and leaves the shop.

Next morning when the barber goes to open up, there is a 'thank you card' and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.

Then John Kerry comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his bill the barber again replies: "I'm sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing 'community service' this week." Kerry is very happy and leaves the shop.

Next morning when the barber goes to open up, there are a few hundred Kerry supporters lined up outside.

Ditto.

Though I'm actually starting to like Kerry, the more I learn about him...

George Bush will get my vote when pigs fly.

And I hope those of you who are planning on voting for Bush are okay with being lied to over and over by an administration as corrupt as his (don't get me started). Also, if you are voting for Bush and between the ages of 18-26 whether you are in the military or not, I hope you are ready to go off to war because that is exactly where he intends to send you.

Peace and Blue Skies.
