The lessor of two evils is still evil.

If you keep doing the same thing over and over again, why would you be surprised that you keep getting the same result? Why would any sane Conservative vote for Bush?

If you?re a Constitutional, conservative Republican who knows in his heart that it?s true that the Bush-Cheney Administration has given us anything BUT a Constitutional, conservative, Republican Federal Government --- and you vote to re-elect Bush-Cheney --- then you are NOT really a Constitutional, conservative Republican.

Not worth the effort to go vote.

Yet your both in here?

You both should move to a Country that doesn't allow voting, say North Korea or China.

How bout one move to Norht Korea and other China and then report back to us on how you like it.

Oh wait, Internet is not allowed at either so you wou won't be able to do that.

We're heading that way to so we'll be joining you guys anyway thanks to many others following your lead and not voting. Thanks for being such Patriots.

Wow. That's a dangerous precedent to follow.

Anyway, I'll vote for Kerry. I don't particularly like him, he's the next best candidate likely to win.

Any true conservative would vote him in. The Repubs in Congress suddenly GO BACK to being so-called conservatives again and checks and balances would resume.

Today, next week, the day of; it makes no difference. I will vote for the person most likely to defeat Nicolae, and that will be Kerry. I've known who I was voting for since the day after last election, and there hasn't been a split second where I was even close to changing my mind, nor will there ever be. Only one thing matters, getting the current prez out.

IMO this is a bad reason to vote someone into office. Many Germans didn't want to exterminate the Jews, but at least Hitler did what he believed in?

You need to seriously qualify this.

The point is to fullfill your duties and obligations to the Office of the Presidency. It is a Republic NOT a pure democracy. Every four years we "hire" someone to do the job and then he pretty much gets to do whatever is within the basic scope of the Presidential Powers.

Considering there has been so much criticism of Bush on TV, radio and the internet nobody can say that opposition voices are being silenced.

Kerry, unless Mario Cuomo runs. I've seen what I predicited would happen with Bush, and I'm satisfied anyone is better than giving him and Cheney free run of the country as lame ducks. I would also like to see energy companies come under a mandate that if they do not do all they can to ensure fair prices and ample supply, then they will forfeit profits above 2% of gross sales. The price of energy today is obscene. That is what happens when energy policy is made behind closed doors, the way this administration likes to do things. And then I would go after the pharmicutical companies the same way. The way thingsare going now, these industries threaten the security of this country, running unchecked and at some laughable concoction of free enterprise marketing. Folks, it aint workin. Its time to fix it. The Reps had their chance. I will vote for Dems to see what they can do.:D

Bush.
To drop the same as said before - we know that he will do what he says - even if it flies in the face of popular opinion. He is not controlled by the polls.

Andrew in AL

Well, I do agree with a lot of the things he says too - but I take pride in the fact that I'm voting for someone who has integrity and strong core values (which I identify with), unlike kerry who will switch sides on a dime.
