When you said Kerry was a friend of Communists and Terrorists you entered the Fruitcake Zone usually occupied by the likes of heartsurgeon. Kerry may be a Liberal and he may be a Waffler but he is no Commie or Terrorist Sympathizer.

Hes [or if you're republican, his 'intelligence'] is repeatedly decieving the american people. He is reluctantly letting the truth be known about 9-11 and WMD's. Crucial investigations and studies over the jeapardizing of peoples lives, jobs, and health are being swept under the carpet or replaced with administration-approved views. We are so agressively pursuing the killer of our own people that a 24/7 hunt only began last month. Bush's war on terror has been too broad, too vague, too expensive, and too polarizing (iraq is evil, france is evil, germany is evil, anyone who doesn't support us is evil), "There ought to be limits to freedom", his inabilty to come off as someone mildly intelligent, this complete lack of focus on domestic policy (unless some event like gay marriage and not poor education comes off as 'troubling' to him), his administation's links to the oil industry, his belief that companies getting richer by seeking cheaper labor equates to recovery [the jobless recovery they call it] and..... I'd write more, I really I would.

you do realize that bush and kerry have the same opinion as far as gay marriage, right?

not exactly. You certainly won't see Kerry saying something like this about gays: "Yes, I am mindful that we're all sinners," the president said Wednesday when asked for his views on homosexuality. "And I caution those who may try to take the speck out of the neighbor's eye when they've got a log in their own."

this complete lack of focus on domestic policy

medicare reform, no child left behind, tax cuts - this doesnt count?

You know very well that no child left behind was underfunded. Its being discovered that the medicare reforms will cost more than was argued - already hinting that the deficit ain't going away anytime soon. And giving people tax cuts is like a guy banging a random chick from a party. It may be great while its around but both sides are gonna pay for it the next morning. Tax cuts are at the very least an effective short term political tool. But since opinions of the tax cuts' effects vary greatly between sides, I won't bother arguing this one.

his administation's links to the oil industry

and this is bad why?

while this is a bit conspiracy-theorist-ish, its becoming pretty obvious that our overseas activities are benefiting not only oil companies in general but the exact same companies our leaders worked in. I hope that we went to war for the people's sake and not for the sake of influential businesses but with all this news of Halliburton I have my doubts

And you also very well know that Education funding has seen HUGE increases in funding under Bush. Do we need to dig those numbers up again for you?
Medicare - isn't "more" what the Democrats wanted? They kept saying Bush's plan wasn't "big" enough and they said it was a "down payment" ;)
Complaints about the deficit? Weren't your first argument that Bush didn't spend enough? And the Democrats contention is that Bush didn't spend enough on both of your first two? Then they have the nerve to whine about deficits? Sure....whatever.
Yep - don't argue the tax-cuts because your talking points are almost nil on that issue. All you have left is whining about the "rich";)

A lot of people seem to be blaming bush's shortcomings/failings/problems/whatever on Clinton. If that isn't the American way I don't know what is. Blaming all your problems on some one else instead of stepping up to the plate and playing the damn hand you were dealt. You don't see me sitting around all day whinning that I'm not tall because my parents weren't tall, or I'm not a genius, etc. I take what I have and work with it. You don't just sit there and point fingers at the last guy. And besides trying to divert the American people's attention from the problem thats pretty much all Bush has done.

I don't have any strong political views for either party. I have some liberal leanings on some issues and the economy, but I've voted for whoever's plan I liked the most.

That said, I'm voting for NOT BUSH this coming election because I don't want a WWIII. To quote a guy I saw on the news a few weeks ago, "Anyone but Bush, I'd vote for the devil." I don't care about gas prices or some other countries problems. This one has plenty of its own to deal with. We should just increase security here and stop pissing off the entire universe by blowing random countries up.

Saddam was bad yes, but there's plenty of bloodthirsty dictators in Africa and other places that we don't even bother going after...why? Because those places have no resources we want. Frankly, I'll take the high gas prices...I drive a compact car.

Quit using logic and fair reasoning here. It confuses us.;)

"Proof?"

Your comments are purely partisan, Republican party-line drivel with no basis in reality. There is no reason to believe Kerry will worse than Bush-lite when it comes to national security, and many reasons to believe he will be much, much stronger. Kerry has real military experience, for example, and is not a reckless cowboy eager to advance a neo-con imperialist agenda. There is also no basis to suggest Kerry will push for greater government control than Bush. Indeed, there is good reason to believe he will reduce government intrusion in the lives of Americans.

You are quite welcome to provide a realistic and objective analysis demonstrating through factual references your contention that Kerry will be "weak on National Security" and "for more government control" compared to Bush. I won't wait up.

This is the reason why you shouldn't vote for G W. Bush

Even the real conservatives have turned against his policies. I think it's time for a change of direction in this country.

That's just my opinion.

Don't take what anyone says for granted, do research on the facts, take a look at the issues, look at both sides, and then decide whos better. Too many people want to impose their views on you, Liberals and conservatives, partisans, the media, and plain crazy people.

I can't and won't tell you how to vote. You have to come to your own conclusions based on who you think can do the job best. That's your job as a member of society. I hope you do your homework and study for the final exam.

But I will tell you why I won't vote For Bush, based on his (and his administrations) dismal performance--which I grade as a total Failure.

Succintly: A solid pattern of Corruption and deceit on a scale grander than that of the Nixon administration, on matters of important policy.

Ok, let me get this straight...
I am the CEO of a large corporation and RAPE the shareholders and employees. I step down and 5 days later there is an investigation. The gov't finds out about everything that is done.
According to what you believe, the new CEO should be arrested and thrown in jail. He should be held accountable.

That is messed up.

Succintly?

Clinton lies about having an affair and is impeached. No lives (American or otherwise) were lost in the process.

Bush lies about WMD and the "imminent threat" of Iraq, goes to war, kills 500+ Americans and thousands of Iraqi citizens, and has the balls to proclaim himself a "war president".

And I don't believe the spin of "Well, Iraq is a better place now, no matter what our initial reasons for going to war were." That's bull$hit - even if Iraq is a better place, you can't use the ends to justify the means after the fact. After all, how would you feel if someone came and emptied out your bank accounts, maxed out your credit cards, and sold your valuable assets to give all the money to needy charities, claiming "But all of these charities are much better now - the fact that we stole this money from you is irrelevant, because of all the people we are helping!"
