These protests WILL have a negative impact on the Democrats push for the White House. I am a moderate Republican leaning toward voting for Kerry. After this, I'm less likely to vote for him. I wonder how many others "in the middle" are so turned off by this?

Wait until Friday when W is in town. That's when the violence will start.
 

I'm going to draw a parallel of sorts here for fun. So don't get your panties in a bunch. :)

You people here arguing about protesters are no better than them. In fact, I'd give give the protesters a minute fraction more credit due to the fact they are actually doing more than just posting on an internet forum.
You're making pointless arguments and spouting agenda that doesn't affect anybody, nor does it increase anybodys quality of life. The thread will most likely (and already is) turning into a name calling match (much like protesters).
Many of you are also doing it on company time, which is just as bad if not worse than a protester. At least the protester isn't on the job pretending to work. ;)

I like bush because when you shave it, there are clams beneath it. :D

I don't support bush. I can say I barely support any politician. They no longer do the job they were intended to fulfill.

no. sorry. i meant to ask the question to the general ATOT community since there seems to be a lot of Bush followers here.

But Sampson, so do you then support Kerry?

I agree completely. That's why I will not for Kerry. He's the "buffoon" in this race.

I'm broke as hell. But, I see no reason to have the government take my money to give it to people like those who are protesting. So, I'll vote Republican.

I'm relatively poor, so is most of my close family. We vote Republican because of lower taxes among other things. that helps everyone, not just the rich.

P.S. I think the rich deserve a HUGE tax cut. It is not fair that they have to pay 30+% of their income when others earning less pay a far lower percentage.

No, everyone is a liberal until they grow up and realize that entitlements and socialism do NOT cure society's ills.

And if "filthy rich" was the only requirement, explain why so many "filthy rich" hollywood stars are so liberal?

No, I do not support Kerry either. The extent of my support for Kerry is to remove Bush from office.

I am under the impression that most of the protesters are yuppies and not dirty hippies.
*shrug* I don't really care either which way.
