The November election is coming up soon and I was wondering what are your reasons for voting this year. I'm under age but if I had a reason it would be the mininum wage Increase, but what is yours.

How about to keep a dim-witted poll-driven hack from being president. That's a pretty good one. While I despise Kerry with a passion, I do agree with him on several things like stopping the outsourcing of jobs. Also, I'd like him to bring the troops home so we can end this futile Iraq conflict once and for all. Oh, wait. That last one there, I don't quite agree with that. As a matter of fact I'm against it. Yeah, there's not much I do agree with Kerry about. Bush on the other hand has proven himself to be a leader, has a spine, doesn't lie about everything and has a great administration. Oh, and he's sensible too. You only get that by not following the polls and supporting what you think is right. That's why he doesn't change his stances on platforms every day like Kerry. He actually has integrity. Kerry and Edward's have none and I don't listen to anyone who says otherwise.

If you really wanna learn something Kid, listen to Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh on 770 AM. Those guys make sense and they KNOW what they're talking about.

Thanks I'll look into it. How old are you Krackalackin.



Not voting. Both Bush and Kerry are from Yale. Both were Skulls. What's the choice?

For one thing if you dont vote. You dont really have a right to be angry at the person in power since you didn't do anything to try and change that vote. So if the person you didn't want to get elected does. Don't complain cause you didn't help out the other guy.

I wish that quote could go into the history books...maybe these punks who say, "I hate war. Be free. Do drugs." would for once shut the hell up.

Bush=Pussy
Kerry=Pussy

That's the best way I can make it out. While one can't run a country with out throwing in a foriegn country, the other can't stop changing his view on ideas.

Then again, what is wrong with changing your views, especially if you expand yourself into the right direction. People are going to label John as an idiot for continuing to swap ideas in a category, but if it allows the best outcome thats good.

I just hope he doesn't serve most of his term on vacation



actually elephant man is right...voting is a privilege that should be taken advantage of, not ignored...no matter who the candidates are and what they stand for...

as soon as i turned 18, i registered to vote (i'm a baby boomer by the way, one of those "tune in, turn on, drop out" people) and i haven't stopped yet...

i do urge everyone to go out and make your vote count whether it is for bush or kerry...

I don't understand how what college they attended should effect your decision but just for the record, Bush recieved his master's at Harvard.

Kerry, who however also attended Yale, did not graduate because he was more interested in throwing it away to go to Vietnam for four months with a camera crew to help his future political agenda.

That's the facts

That's really a silly thing to say. Isn't it obvious to you he changes his opinion to try and back the stance he thinks more people will give him a vote for? Listen buddy, I'm twenty years old and I know my stances on issues and I don't change them literally over the weekend either. And Bush is no pussy because if he was, he wouldn't have engaged in a war that could complicate his re-election or are you too dimwitted or naive to understand that? Apparently, you're a mental midget because frankly, how could you label either candidate as a pussy if you had any brain capable of using descriptive adgetives to better illustrate your opinion. Someone like you, without the mental capacity to understand such subjects shouldn't be entitled to an opinion at all.



The Facts

Kerry never graduated Yale because he went to Vietnam. He had his own personal camera crew there and stayed for four months on a swift boat (small gun-ship). While he was there, he was decorated with four medals, then went back to The United States to Protest the war. When I first learned that, it didn't make me cry foul or anything but it was a real surprise to say the least. This didn't bother me too much until I heard afterward how exactly he was involved in the protests. John Kerry personally led a Committee who's purpose was to set up a case to the Federal Government on why we had to end the war. During his plea, he lied about events and slandered the United States Army. He said he was personally involved in killing and rapings that the army made him do under orders. He talked about burning villages, cutting off heads, blowing up bodies, killing and raping children, pretty much everything you could think of the most distasteful. It was all a lie. It never happened. There was once incident in Myan that was somewhat in the same ballpark but Kerry was on a God-damn swift-boat. I personally now hold him partially responsible for why the American people were so uncaring and sometimes abhorrant of our Veterans after they returned. He slapped his fellow comrades in the face and not by backstabbing, worse, by sheer lies. And this person is running for President? I wish they had one of these cute smiley face guys over here that could repeatedly gag. This man is totally anti-military and pro-socialist. After all, he did spend many years in Europe after the war was over. Eventually, he settled in the senate, voting against every militarily beneficial bill and defense proposal for the last twenty years. Looking back at some of the things he voted for, I can't say I don't understand any choices he made but most are just liberal madness. It's amazing how many people assume he's a good candidate because he's running against Bush which they probably know not much about anyway. I can't believe people call Kerry a Leader when he's against using any kind of military force, no matter what the motive or intention and worst of all, changes issues manicly to hopefully pull in the most votes. A leader doesn't change his oppinions. That's why people follow leaders. They are able to make choices and stick with them. The leaders, in which their choices turn out the most effective are branded as the best but its hard to tell these days because there's so much chatter and controversy in the media. I personally can't believe people are already forgetting about that one day.........You know the one. It was the day when a certain two objects destroyed two other objects and a third gave the pentagon a new face lift as well. I haven't forgotten, and I'll be damned if I let some weasel like Kerry run this country. He doesn't deserve it and he hasn't earned it. He's a lying, paper-thin sleazeball politician. No President, that's without a doubt. I can't wait 'till they debate but unfortunately it might be too late by then. People might've already figured him out. They're definitely starting to come around. The polls show it. Judging by this evidence which is all absolutely true, no matter what you think of Bush, you're an absolute fool to vote for Kerry. People who aren't leaders make bad choices and there's no telling what JFK would do.

Seriously? if you're going to present "Facts," offer up sources. This is biased "Fox News" style ranting at best. No, I don't like bush, I think his policies are so right-wing they border on facist (several of my friends who are die hard republicans also want Bush out of office) and I dislike his "War All The Time" attitude, but i don't label my rants as facts unless i can back them up. I actually know John Kerry and I believe he is a decent, honorable man who will do this country proud.

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but
now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

Yeah you are sooo worldly at the ripe old age of 20....Seriously, NO NEED for the abuse, guy. It's called civility, look into it.

So.. What's the problem?

Krack, you do realize that you're not exactly recruiting any votes for Bush with your chicken**** for brain posts? On the contrary, you're only convincing people to vote against him, which is for Kerry. Your posts are almost satirical which leads me to believe that you are pro Kerry, set out to make all republicans look like fascist ********. And you're doing a great job at it by the way!

So, for how long have you been a member of the Democratic Party?



I'm voting ABB.

Anybody But Bush

They're not as different as they would have you believe; that's true. But there's still plenty of difference. They have vastly different ideas on how tax cuts should be targetted, free trade, and whether diplomacy or aggression is more likely to keep us safe these days.

You all know who I'm voting for, barring a dramatic turn of events between now and November. Bush has plenty of flaws, and he's by no means ideal, but he understands a few very basic economic realities that seem to elude Kerry and Edwards, and I suspect history will be kind to the Democratization efforts taking place during this term.
