Why is it "yeah, I thought so"? What answers do you want from us? Why can you not vote the lesser of two evils? And why is it when you've grown tired of debating a subject into the ground, you can just say so, but when somebody else does, it's "yeah I thought so"? Personally, I dislike both parties, but to me Bush is so much worse, because he is TOO much of a hawk. I disagree with the war in Iraq, Bush has caused countless deaths in the past 4 years, not just terrorists and our WAY too young to die men and women in the armed forces, but innocent civilians, and most tragic children. You claim to be appauled by 9/11 and attacks on innocent Americans, or the children that were slaughtered in Russia, but, you blindly yet whole heartedly, support Bush ordering the SAME THING! No matter what reasons or justification you will try to give, the end result is the same....frightened civilians and children being killed, whether by accident or design, by terror or guided munitions, is that what you think the victims of 9/11 and other attacks would want if you could speak with them from the grave? Do you think the mothers and fathers who died that day would condone this? The killing of babies and children just like the ones they raised, just because there may be terrorists in the next building, so hey, if innocents get killed, that's just war, right? I can f**king guarantee you they would not want that. I am a father, and if I am killed in any kind of cowardly terrorist attack and anybody feels it's OK to go kill children to get to the ones they believe did it, I will tell them in advance that is the last thing I would EVER want, that would make my death 1,000 times more tragic. So if your voting for Bush because he's a wartime President, maybe you should look past your hate and fear and realize your wrong. There's got to be a better way out of this $hit the world is in right now, but sheep who believe every word this corrupt administration tells them, believe every bogus terror threat they announce to scare them into submission, have no desire to find the better way, just kill 'em all right? It makes me sick. So I will vote for Kerry because he's "not Bush", then I will promote third party candidates the day after this election, hopefully Kerry will win and less children will die while we focus on fixing this extremely broken nation, and taking back our government from both parties.

It's going to be a sad day if he wins.

Not for me.

A president voted in just because they didn't like the other one.

Yes, how could that not make sense? If you hate one of your teachers at school, and there's another teacher who also sucks, but not as bad as the other one, and you had the opportunity for a transfer, you wouldn't take it?

It's going to be a tough war if he does win.

Yeah, kinda hard to fight a illigitimate war, if your troops ARE HERE AT HOME!

Christ, you're so defensive!!! Good god, I said four sentences and you managed to do that whole essay with my quotes and stuff. As I mentioned in the begninning of this, I don't want it to be a fight. It's informative. I wish to learn. I'm not insinuating any insulting things by saying "I thought so". All I meant is that I thought nobody would have any real reasons for voting for Kerry other than that he's not Bush. I don't know what's so insulting about that. Are you just frusterated that you know there really are hardly any other good reasons for supporting Kerry? Why are you so bitter towards me?

The answers are that I wanted are reasons for voting for Kerry, as stated in my title. You've grown tired of debating this? Since when have we debated Kerry's stances? Barely ever.
