People voting for Bush are just misguided and ignorant. Some of them are really crazy though.

bush is firm on is convictions and doesn't care what others think when he makes decisions based on what he believes in. Kerry feels superficial and has the look of being too polished with ideas that stays in the middle. With Bush, you know what u are going to get whether good or bad. Kerry is still an unknown. In my case, its the choice of the less of the "known" evils.

So if you knew you were going to hell, you would rather stay on track than try another alternative.......nice

He's made the world a safer place. Hmmm wait a second, no he hasn't! I guess I won't be voting for him.
Unfortunately Lurch isn't much of an alternative.

The US government did not need 9/11 to realize there are outlaws out there. All they had to do was look at the CIA. Who commits 100,000 SANCTIONED major crimes per year? Yep, the CIA. God bless America.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. I love cliches. :p

2. I dont like John Kerry's policies and inablity to make up his mind on any pressing matter. (for the war, not for war. For gay marrage, not for gay marrage, for gay marrage as long as its not at a constitutional level, things like that)

Many of the times Kerry is accused of flip-flopping, Kerry changed his mind because of riders on various bills. Riders should be illegal because they serve no worthwhile purpose.

3. He believes in god and Kerry doesn't

Kerry claims to be a practicing Christian.

4. The economy HAS improved under his administraton the last two years regardless of the left attacks.

Umm, wouldn't we have to look at all 4? I kinda think that the economy takes longer to heal itself than other people seem to. I don't think we will see how good or bad Bush's economic decisions are for another 5+ years.

5. Ive listened to Republican Propaganda and Democrat Propaganda, I like the Republican Better.

:beer: (for the propaganda, not necessarily the choice)

6. I think that Iraq and Afganastan are better off now, and I think the world is a better place now that sadaam is out of power.

I can agree with Afganastan. They harbored the people that committed 9/11.

7. I dont like communists, niether does bush.

Is that a hint that he will cut off trade with China? If so, I'll change my mind. :)

8. I dont like socializm, kerry does.

I doubt he favors socialism as a whole.

9. I dont like abortion, neither does bush.

Tough.

10. I dont think gays should be able to marry as I believe that is reserved for man and woman. Call it a communion or whatever, but I dont think it should be marrage.

A rose by any other name...

That pretty much sums it up for me.

Not bad. :p

So people vote:
For Bush : Know the mistake and they are willing to corrected it
For Kerry: Ignore the mistake and hope create new mistake

or

For Bush : Ignore the mistake and they are willing to corrected it
For Kerry: know the mistake and hope create new mistake

Some guy told me the life of a president base on this:
first 4 years term: creating mistake
Sencond 4 years term: Clean up or continue the same shit
For those who believe president candidates , you are a moron . Your only choice is accepted the current mistake or willing to take a chance to create a new mistake

I'm not ready for new mistake. I accepte the mistake and I 'm willing help to correct it

I vote for BUSH and I'm a patriot man

Sounds peachy- too bad our dry-drunk prez doesn't acknowledge having made any mistakes... more likely, he'd consider re-election as a ringing endorsement of his hard-right slap the pedal to the metal policies since 9/11...

Bush campaigned to the center to win in 2000- how does he project that particular illusion today, now that we've seen his true nature?

Regime change starts at home....

people (where i live) support & believe him because:

1. he's the president
2. he says he's fighting 9/11 terrorist bad-guy evildoers
3. he sucks up to evangelicals.

that's the depth of political insight around here.

I wonder how many people will vote for Bush without reading up on any facts, because he tells us that he's doing a good job.

An "uneducated" vote (for any candidate) is probably the worst vote that can be made.

people like you show just how ignorant the American public can be at times
"kerry is going to all my guns and promote abortions"



NO ONE WILL TAKE YOUR GUNS FROM YOU
the NRA will always be there, im sorry if democrats want to make it harder to get full assult rifles to American Citizens, since they are used so much in hunting, and target shooting

please follow the advice of my mom
think before you speak

BTW i dont like either canidate, but Id vote Bush just cause hes been there and done that so to speak

As a registered Democrat who voted for Gore in 2000, I'm voting for Bush this time because Bin Laden and his ilk have declared war on the free world and we cannot be weak in combating it despite the worldwide liberal media being a thorn in the side in the prosecution of this war.

The second amendment has nothing to do with hunting.

Could you please do me a favor and explain what your definition of full assault rifle is. The only definition I've ever heard was from the leftists whos parents never let them play with cap guns and couldnt tell you what a squib is.

I'll put it this way. I always like to look at both candidates but haven't heard a single thing from the Kerry side regarding any issues other than Iraq. Why would I vote for someone other than the incumbent president when I have no problem with Iraq, I have a job making good money, I have health care, etc.

Fully automatic weapons have special licenses and are already illegal in many states. The weapons that are licensed are strictly controlled.

Some deer rifles accept magazines.

A squib is a bullet stuck in a barrel of a gun.

AIDS is God's final solution for the gays, and you impugn Bush's name by insinuating that those untermenschen would vote for him?

Who cares? Bush ain't going to win reelection anyways. He's either tied or slightly behind in the polls and many projectors are saying that when the polls are tied like this he incumbent will lose big.
