American Elections

[Jay]

All comments are welcome. Also, if you are going to vote, please give the top three reasons behind your choice.

I'm going to vote for Kerry myself. I'm a democrat but my reasoning goes deeper than that. The economy has been pretty shitty the last four years, we have no business in Iraq, and his tax cuts for the rich have created another deficit. I have more reasons than that (Halaburton for one), but those are the top three. I know that Kerry won't pull us out of Iraq, but we need someone else to run the campaign. We can't just pull out now because all of Iraq would be thrown into anarchy and/or civil war, however we need someone in charge capable of devising a clear exit strategy... Hell Bush can't even read or pronounce the word strategy.

How intriguing. If you can't make up your mind about who you would vote for this election then you shouldn't be allowed to continue living. Your choices are...

1. The former town drunk who scored a 1206 on the SAT's and gained widespread support for a pointless oil war by lying to the public. Where are those weapons of mass destruction anyhow? Bush also still seems to think that Iraq and Al-Qaeda are somehow connected. Bush also won't admit that the war was a bad idea, even though it's painfully obvious to everyone with any speck of intelligence inside them. He went in with little support from a small amount of countries and of course without the support from the UN. In fact Bush calls Kerry a flip flopper for changing his mind on the war, but Kerry is only one of millions of other US citizens who changed their mind when they found out that the Bush campaign was lying about the weapons of mass destruction and that the intelligence was all wrong. Many people in congress changed their opinion about the war as well.

or...

2. Senator of 20 years, he's not great, but a hell of a lot better than the other choice.

You can either give somebody who has already proven himself to be evil, corrupt, stupid and monkeylike another chance to fuck things up for half a decade, or use your vote to over-rule the cornfeds and give somebody else a chance, even if they might not seem perfect.

ive stopped listening to the news because i'm sick of hearing kerry this and kerry that or bush this and bush that, so him being a drunk is new to me (although was he the one rumored to also be on crack?). whatever, i dont care and frankly, i dont think people should care about my vote. there are too many people out there who will try to convince you to vote the other way (and waste my time at that), so i guess that has scared me into not wanting to make a decision

although if i HAD to vote, it probably would be for kerry, but if i had to vote, i'd also do more research on bush before i made a final decision

[Corey4666]

and jus cuz im younger you guys might laugh at me and think i made a dumb choice but f**k you i dont wanna argue

I think both the main US presidential candidates would be laughed at if they stood for election in any other country bar the USA.



That said, I would rather Kerry won, because I don't believe Bush is doing the worldwide community very much good.

Kerry is just the lesser of the two evils, vote for him.
