Kerry.....we have seen what bush does in office start wars, get soldiers killed for no clear reason except to finish what his daddy couldnt, screw up the econemy even more, and all around is the gotta be the dumbest president ever! that last comment is my opinion and is ment no disrespect to those of you who like bush.

anyway i wish that you could serve more then 2 terms! if it was that way then we would still have president clinton in office and we all would be happy!

You need to relax I was just joking about I was voting for Bush because Kerry is scarier looking.

I vote for Fidel Castro. He is the only dictator who was never overthrown. I'm sure he'll do a better job than these two idiots.

Go Fidel!

i choose kerry. because of the sole fact that bush has done nothin in this country but cause more drama and ruin the economy. gas prices were raised, people losing their jobs to foreign countries that pay less. i almost became homeless again because of that. more effort is being put into the war in iraq rather than helpin all the people sufferin over here in the states. i mean, shit, people here in boston are all gettin shot up every single day and the police force seem to be hours late to respond and help. bush is ruining this country as we speak, and possibly a WW3 might occur because of him. i'm probably gonna get flamed or skulled for this and i am really sorry for this but i gotta post it up anyway, sorry

I don't see what this is all about... Aren't ballots cast supposed to remain confidential?

Anyway, I'm voting for ****** and in 2024, I am running for president myself, being one to hate how the government works nowadays is sending me to realize that the only way I will be able to fix it is if I, myself, am Commander In Chief.

He rescued 2 people in a war a=when he could have gone along for himself and let them die. Their families? What if they became sad, didnt have children, a whole generation is wiped out because Kerry decided to save himself? NO. Kerry saved those 2 people and hes a big hero. He deserves to be elected for that. Not to mention the fact that BUSH IS A RETARD. I mean seriously above i was quoting the stupidest things that came out of his mouth. And those compared to Kerry? You can't compare. Kerry is much smarter than Bush and I'll be damned if Bush gets elected again. Kerry may be a war hero and i have great respect for that but i dont agree with his policies so you cant vote for someone just because they are a war hero. The tremendous act of bravery Kerry showed on the battlefield doesnt necessarily mean he can run the country successfully. I don't understand how a Bob Marley fan likes Bush. Bush, a Jesus freak, a guy so conservative he'd probably have people serve life sentences for weed if he could.

im actually more moderate just leaning on the conservative side, i cant agree or disagree with everything one person says. I support war, the death penalty and marijuana.

I'm voting for Kerry.

That's not to say I really like either of them. In the past 2 months I have heard more about who did what in Vietnam, rather than how they are planning to shape America's future.

I don't want Bush in the office again. A year after he was elected and the economy was slipping the exscuse was, "Well, we are dealing with situations left from the previous administration.". Ok, I'll buy that. Now here we are in 2004, the economy has not gotten any better, and every time a question is directed to the state of the economy, the tide immediatly shifts to the "liberation of Iraq". Liberation? I could of sworn that we were fighting over there because they had nuclear and biological weapons?

Don't get me wrong, the people of Iraq should be liberated from a tyrant. The problem I have with that situation is that it should of been the entire world going into Iraq. In a perfect world, I'd like to think that people actually look out for each other, regardless of what country they live in....

Anyway, the facts are all there. The economy is in the shitter, we fought a war for the wrong reasons, and we get exscuses as to why things aren't better, instead of getting answers. I really don't know if Kerry can do a better job, but I know Bush has had his chance, and I only see America in worse shape if he is re-elected.

hey i support the war too, but not when its for the wrong reasons. also bush has to be the most close minded person on earth. everything has to be traditional for him...let people control their own lives

bush > *

bush, i dont give a fuck what other people say. i believe he has helped us out alot in these times of crisis.

lol! DMitch pretty much called it! I gotta agree.

Libertarian canadate Badnarik is the best choice. Kerry would be second. I'll vote for Kerry because he has a chance to beat Bush. Badnarik would be a much better President but Kerry would do very well if he treads the line of letting people vote on issues like gay marriage instead of pushing for an admendment. On the other hand, Badnarik would end many unconstitutional government abuses like the income tax that no one likes anyways, he would be radical but very popular and well liked. Like Abe Lincoln was in ending slavery, etc.

After seeing Farenheit 9/11, I am definitely voting for George Bush. The man deserves the respect, and if he wins this election fair and square, I believe the American people will give him just that.

If I had been American, I would have voted for Kerry for evident reasons... The American people are intelligent, they deserves better that somebody who lies to them, not only to them, but also to the rest of the world...

It doesn't much matter Kerry program, United States dignity and its image worldwide depend on this election, according to me...

BTW, Bush has done GREAT for the economy. Obviously, September 11th had a crippling effect on many aspects of the U.S. economy, but Bush's leadership has gotten us through it.

Under Clinton (in 1996, when he was up for re-election), the unemployment rate was 5.6%. Now Under Bush (in his own re-election year) the unemployment rate is at 5.5%.

Yes, Bush has been a lot better for the economy than some would have you believe (Source)

I have been undecided for awhile, untill now. I have picked through both parties agendas, and frankly I am more impressed with Bush than Kerry. Granted, there are somethings I do not agree with Bush on, but I believe he has done a good job. I mean look at what Bush has had to put up with during his term. On a side note, I applaud Bush for being a "Jesus Freak" and not hiding it.

As far as Kerry is concerned, he seems to inconsistent for me to vote for him.

If I could vote I would vote for Bush.
Kerry is a "war hero," this is what we hear most of him. Yet after receiving three purple hearts, he came back to America to bash the troops and call them baby killers. Now, some of them want to get back at Kerry- there is supposed to be a book coming out soon on his actions. Just because you haven't been to war doesn't mean you can't have an opinon on war, because only a samll percent (I believe 6%) of living American males in the country have been to war. Should no one else be allowed an opinion? One of his purple hearts was given to him for something caused by his gun-fire ("self inflicted" but not meaning he shot himself), no amount of information has been released on the other two purple hearts (they are locked or something)- but they are rumored to be "boo-boo" like wounds.
As for "seperation of church and state," many people take this extremely out of context. It is a means to protect churches, not seperate them from the states. It means no law can be forced on them. And the "seperation" that people mostly think of isn't even in the constitution.

Sorry if this is too far into religious discussion, but "separation of church and state," I believe, is in regards to the first amendment that clearly includes the right to (along with freedom of speech) freedom of religion. Freedom OF religion must also recognize freedom FROM religion; the passage of laws, or government actions or policies, based on specific religous doctrines, essentially contradicts that. People often say that many of our laws come from the Ten Commandments (ie. laws against murder and theft), but these are common to basically all religions, and are common-sense elements of the "social contract," a general term for a basic doctrine described by the philosophers Thomas Hobbes and Jean-Jacques Rousseau (albeit in different terms and from different perspectives) by which humans exit a "state of nature" (in which life, according to Hobbes, is "nasty, brutish, and short") to form society and establish the rule of law. The social contract is an idea based entirely upon practicality, not faith.

Anyway, as for the part about Kerry's "war hero" image, it seems to me that this is a direct response to America's view that Bush is stonger on the War on Terror, and voting for Kerry is potentially dangerous. I'm sure you've been hearing the phrase "Don't change horses in the middle of the stream." The attention Kerry has put on his service in Vietnam is meant to say, "But I've BEEN to war! Who do you want leading you in wartime: a veteran with 3 Purple Hearts, or a guy who used his daddy's connections and influence to avoid service?" Maybe he's making too much of a big deal out of it, but I think it's easy to see why: to show credentials in an area where he looks weak. I don't know how people can say they think the world is safer thanks to Bush; his agressive, almost imperialistic foreign policy has made the US hated and feared around the world on an unprecedented level. His war in Iraq, far from undermining terrorism, has turned Iraq into a vast new arena for terrorism. Saddam had completely antithetical views to the type of terrorists responsible for 9/11; he and Osama were ENEMIES. Yes, there were terrorists in Iraq, but they were in an area outside of Saddam's control. Yes, Saddam was an evil man, but he was a sociopath, which means he'd commit evil acts that will benefit his own interests. If he had WMDs, once he gave them up to a terrorist or group of terrorists, he has relinquished all control of the weapons; he has no authority over how the weapons are used. Anyone with an understanding of Saddam's regime, and the given nature of centralized dictatorships such as Saddam's, will realize that Saddam wouldn't take a stupid risk like supplying weapons to terrorists when he knows a.) they could use them against him, and b.) if the US tracks the weapons to him, his regime is toast. Terrorism has spread throughout Iraq now BECAUSE OF US and because of what Bush has done.

Kerry protested the very war that he is trying to use as a false image that he was a hero. Come on. And that's only reason one of several.

Swing the right way. Be Republican. :)

Yet, poverty rates are still increasing, 2.2 million jobs have been have been lost, and a $521 billion budget deficit has been created. Bush said that his tax cut of 2001 was going to create 800,000 jobs while his 2003 tax cut would create 1,000,000. Neither happened. Plus, Bush's 5 year plan for getting us out of the deficit he created relies on money that isn't there yet and may possibly never be there. Namely, oil from Alaska.

So? You don't have to agree with a war to want to serve for your country. I'm sure a lot of people in Iraq right now don't support the war. They're there because somebody has to be.
As for your "Swing the right way. Be Republican." comment, that basically shows, to me, that you're just republican for the sake of being republican. You could be an uneducated fool, for all I know, and debating with you will be useless.

Exactly what I was thinking. I've read numerous stories of soldiers who believed the war in Iraq was justified, but now that they've been there, they realize it's a load of bullshit. I'm sure that's what happened with Kerry in Vietnam.

I honestly don't see how anyone can vote for Bush, unless they are ignorant, blind, brainwashed, or all of the above. Bush's policies have created almost unprecidented ideological polarization, and his wars, supposedly to fight terrorism, have just created MORE TERRORISTS. I'm sorry, but in my eyes, Bush is a terrorist. He is a fraud, a criminal, a liar, and a murderer. I'll take a self-agrandizing war hero-wannabe over that any day.

Sorry if I'm being out of line, I'm angry and I'm out of my medication.

KERRY. I won't even explain myself because I'm so sure of the fact........
