okay, just take the fact that Kerry seems to have an idea other than "stay the course." That mentality never works. If you're digging yourself a hole, what makes you think that if you keep digging it will make things any better? Bush is a total moron. Am I a huge Kerry lover, no. I just see him as a confident choice, much lesser of the evils. Not only does he seem to have an answer (maybe not the answer but a sensible answer none-the-less) to how to get out of a stable Iraq, but he recognizes what worked in North Korea. Bi-lateral talks. Bush is rangling other countries, like a bully with his toadies to put a stop to N. Korea's weapons program.

Domestically, that debate is yet to be had. However, Kerry has an idea. He's going to raise taxes. Nobody likes to hear those words, I don't - except I KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN. He's not nailing the poor or middle class, he's nailing people like himself. Tax the rich, they have the most money to fund what the government needs to do. It's the general philosophy of dems. The republicans will say "rasing taxes, you don't want to pay, do you? You have a right to the money you make." But the truth in that statement is not really directed at the American people as a whole, but rather to the top 10% or so. With this money he will be able to pay the "heros" (the firemen, the police, the park rangers, etc.) and have money to improve education. Bush has taken the greatest surplus in American History that Clinton left behind and turned it into the greatest deficit in proportion. Am I saying he led us to another Great Depression. Not really, just that he's proved he's a fuck up on the whole. I think it's someone else's turn to see what he can do. He seems to have a good head on his shoulders, even if it is a bit cartoonish.

If that doesn't get you leaning to Kerry, come back with some questions, comments, etc. What would make you vote for Bush? (no, really, what is it? ) Plus, Bushie (Republicans in general) want to appoint more conservative judges, which could lead to a real imbalance, one that most certainly will take on the right to choose. Or the constitutionalism of same sex marrige... think about the fellow Americans that would affect. Seriously, the social ramifications of the Republicans getting into office again is a HUGE concern to me. Hope that helped!
