OK I'm 22, I voted for Kerry because...well that doesn't really need an explanation. But I thought it was always assumed that Kerry would win because Bush is...Bush. But what the fuck is happening, how is this so close??? I just cannnot understand this. Every intelligent person I know understands the dangers of Bush in office, as does the rest of the planet, so why does he have so many supporters here in the US? Why in your right mind would you vote for a man who has 'convictions' that arent RIGHT. everyone has convictions, the drug dealer that lives down my road has convictions about dealing drugs, that doesnt make them right. why would you vote for a man that did not have a real job until he was 40 when he was elected gov of Texas. Why would you vote for a former CEO of a corrupt company. And you pick these 2 men over a former trial lawyer and a senator of 21 years? After what Bush has done to this country?> What the fuck are you talking about 'let him finish his work??' He's done enough already, the US is looked at as a completely different place now than it was 4 years ago. Goddamnit, I hate this. He has made it a joke to be American. when you vote today, show the world us Americans have the common sense to oust a leader that is bad for us. Good god, this is unbelievable.

bush = religious zealot
bush = no separation of church (as he sees it the church)
bush = war monger (in the eyes of many other countries)
cheney = aging corrupt politician (just looks at his connections to Haliburton)
bush/cheney administration = largest decline as a country ever seen during one administration
bush/cheney administration = started a war that UN president Kofi Annan declared illegal (gee, I wonder what the world thinks of us)

But what scares me the most is that the man in charge of the country right now, and possible for the next 4 years (GOD FORBID), speaks to God, and God told him to invade Iraq (yes this was a quote that I saw the other day and I might be able to dig it up again). Where are people that God speaks to? In the church, in the insane asylumns, and in the Oval office.

Bush has never been my president, and hopefully will not have the title of president too much longer.





However, agree with me or not, the most important thing is to get out and vote and make your voice heard.

no, the reason is pretty much what midwest was getting at. every conservative is a freaking moron, who has no idea or concept of what has happened the last 4 years. they dont understand the inherently superior philosophy of liberalism. face it, theres a lot of people who are too busy watching nascar and going to church to REALLY understand the world. that is why you will NEVER, find a republican, conservative, whatever, that knows the first thing about anything. they are all so totally dissillusioned about the world. they love to kill, they love corperate greed, and they hate fags and the environment. this is true almost across the board, and without exception. i dont know any of them who even graduated college. its pretty rediculous when you think about it. that is why it is so close.

i come from an extremely republican area and most of the reason is is that they are 1) very religous 2) gun owners 3) close minded and 4) nationalists...i think this is probably why bush will win again...all the rednecks in america (and God knows there's alot) are gonna vote for this lunatic.

Or my favorite answer when asked why someone is voting bush:
'Because i'm a republican'
this response almost gives me an aneyursm ever time i hear it. there could be no reason to vote bush that's as stupid and thoughtless as this one.

If I am not mistaken christians are supposed to be against any killing of any kind so then really they should be against bush because of iraq and his death penalty position

^^wow, way to claim 'facts'!

^no, christians are oppossed to the a person doing as he feels is what is right, we believe govermental authority, used righteously is fine. we dont want to go to war, but if the reason is justified, we biblically feel its fine. if your gonna diss on someones religion, at least know something about it.

saying christianity is against killing is like saying hitler was against killing. The church has killed million upon millions of people, almost in league (for time and amount) as hitler. Just look at France and the Crusades. Bush is an example that it's not the man the gets elected, it's his beliefs and what his party wants. Bush is not a good man.

I have just read through this thread and have come out dumber, every liberal explanation is the biggest load of shit that I have ever heard, we are not what is wrong with the nation, misinformed ignoramuses like ya'll are. Get some actuall information or facts before you open your mouth, you will look less retarded.

i like his values, and his values are right in line with what every christian would belive, that abortion and gay marrige is wrong, that is why Bush is winning with christians by about 65 to 35.

its sad and funny that the bible thumpers who claim 'christians are for Bush' are in fact doing a great diservice to their religion. they are basically saying 'our group of millions cannot think for themselves and therefor have one homogenous opinion on very complex issues'. i know this not to be true, and its characteristic of conservative oversimplifications to make that point

Hey aggro, sorry if I came accross as 'dissing' christians. I was serious when I said that Christians believe in peace. I believe Jesus did say 'Do not resist one who is evil, but if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other.' some would say that means that retaliation (such as the death penalty) is wrong.

my priest apparently preached that voting for kerry is a sin in my liberal ass town, and everyone walked out in the middle of his sermon. he's a douch. I agree with you all, though, that it will probably be the better educated people voting for kerry, and the greedy assbags and stupid people voting for bush.

yeah ^^ since evry single graduated engineer in the work force, that I know, votes Republican. Good assumption though, you bloody wanker. And also, why is every single anti-bush protestor that I've protest warriored has been an uneducated out of work sleaze bag?
