I think that president bush is a better person, leader, and thinker. I can see through Kerry's campaign it is a bunch of meaningless remarks with no backing. I mean when his microphone was off you are able to see who he really is and he said some really bad stuff about people. He also floats his campaign off his wife and didn't work for his money, but Bush did. in conclusion Bush should win the upcoming election :D

...Bush worked for his money? I find that a VERY interesting comment, considering the history of GW's personal finances. You do know about the history of where GW got his money, and what he did before he was president don't you?

Its very true Kerry's campaign is less than stirring. I reccomended it over Sleep-ez for insomnia; he has a soothing effect that blankets the conciousness with restful boredom. Still, if you look at the nature of his "off-mic" comments, they betray a deep concern for the US due to what he presents as a highly corrupt administration with bad policies. With this thought, misguided or not, his concern for our nation as a whole should not be slighted.

Also, the "should" nature of your argument seems misguided. I would argue that a more complete phrase would be;

"I have studied the facts and figures behind the Bush administration's policies and find them to be sound. I have decided that his re-election would be benificial to the nation as a whole and that his faults or mistakes, whatever they may be, are outweighed by his usefulness to the nation."

I'm assuming of course, that you have studied the specifics of the debate on GW's administration and come to your own conclusion; rather than accepting one set blind rhetoric over another.

I believe GW is a man of faith and he says what he means he will get my vote in ( mock election) in November. Unless he backs out on his faith my vote will go to the Constitution party candidate.

Faith is for the weak who don't know what they are doing.

Kerry didn't work for his money :shock: and this comes from a person who supports Bush, who was given money by his Dad's friends to find oil in Texas.

Also, you claim that Kerry said bad stuff about people. Do you realise that 75% campaign ads were personal attacks on Kerry filled with half-truths, distorted facts and outright lies. Also it was Bush who had a picture faked to make him look like he was close with Hanoi Jane, when it was two different ones edited together.

Who deserves to win? Well certainly not Bush, but Kerry isn't perfect either. Kerry seems like weak competition to Bush, we need someone better like maybe Edwards or somebody. Also Nader seems cool, too bad he has no chance at all.

What we need is another Roosevelt. Definately, since he'd be a Democrat since both Roosevelt's were progressive and the Democrats are more progressive than the Republicans. Or we could use another Kennedy. Too bad JFK Jr isn't still around.

Just hoping here that Kerry picks a dynamic running mate (John Edwards?), to defeat Tweedle Dickee, and Tweedle Dumb.

Bush Worked for his money? What?! If you call being born into a rich family working for your money, then I guess he did.

Also, I don't know why anyone would vote for someone who made the economy take an 11 trillion dollar turn around. Bush screwed up the good work Clinton did. Maybe we should elect Clinton again, he already knew how to clean up after the first Bush.

Saddam was Hitleresque??

Hitler: Invaded all of Europe while mass murdering 10 million people from all over Europe. On holy campaign believing that God put him on his trek. Became leader following campaign of stormtrooping and preaching to people about making the Jews the scapegoat for all of Germany's problems.

Saddam: Invaded Kuwait following US approval. Fought war with Iran following US encouragement. Killed several thousand of his own people. Became leader by staging coup on relative that was installed after several CIA backed coups.

Are we really comparing the two?

We got him....we always had Saddam. We've had him for 50 years. But, since you're a Bush fan, don't you remember initially that this war wasn't about "getting Saddam?" Wasn't it about the imminent danger....all of the Iraqi terrorists....the weapons of mass destruction bound to destroy the US, Israel, and the rest of the Middle East...the "connections" to 9/11 and al-Qaeda? You are satisfied that none of the pretexts for this invasion were met?

People die in war. You got that right. But hopefully they die for a noble and worthy cause. Dying for a lie is neither noble nor worthy. It is what separates this war from every other the United States has been involved in.

This is why I worry....Bush supporters never seem to care about what was said the day before (unless Clinton said it)....only what the administration is saying today. The administration goes unchecked day after day. Its like Mike Malloy has said for 3 years: the Bush supporters are living happily in the ether.
