Yeah Kerry has some rather stupid ideas, especially his stand on gay marriages.

Just eat yourself to death.

...Unlike truly accurate and fair sources of information and opinion, like Fox News.
Everyone's in the truth distortion game. So why not Michael Moore?
All I know is that our respect and credibility in the world at large has only gone in the toilet since the Bush presidency. And with the way we currently think that the rest of the world doesn't really matter, the seeds of eventual demise for every great, dominant world power in history has been this kind of hubris. And we're not just talking military either -- it's economic as well.
If anything, we've radicalized more and more of the world against us. The Bush administration has been a better recruitment tool for Al Queda than anything Bin Laden could do or say right now. And the majority of world opinion suggests that the U.S.'s tactics have lead to a more dangerous, and not a more secure, world right now.
And who can be held accountable -- and will take responsibility -- for sending hundreds of Americans and thousands of Iraqis to their deaths over a very public premise that was either a boldfaced lie or complete incompetence? I can't imagine any other arena where thousands of people die and billions of dollars are lost over a wrong decision (or worse, a deception) and yet no one loses their job over it... or is even asked to be held accountable for mistakes.
Of course, I have some liberal biases. But I have some very conservative tendencies as well (I'm not sure who hates hippies more -- me, or Eric Cartman). This is the first election in my memory where I've felt there were such moral responsibilities for voters. There is a lot of "ends justify the means" thinking going on now.

Oh -- and Quiznos? I almost punched out the guy in the inflatable Quiznos suit when he blocked my exit from the subway on the way to work yesterday. Quiznos and Subway can duke it out as much as they want. They'll get my business only if my remaining choice for something to eat is some tired formula of cold semi-edibles slapped on slices of bread.

And besides protecting our Nation against Terror, I also want some protection against Economic disaster. The Economy is as sick as a puppy who just drank antifreeze, and its system needs to be cleansed. Can Bush do that? Hell if I know.
This Election reminds me of dicussions of which team I hate more, either Inter or Roma. :dontcare:
No thanks... the last thing I'll do is vote for our poor excuse of a president.
What kind of president uses the word "Crusade" when talking about going into Iraq. His writers surely know what this word means to the Muslim world.
He just looks for trouble.
The fact that he said Sharon was a "man of peace" destroys whatever hopes there is for the US gov. to at least show that it's looking at the Palastinian-Israeli conflict from a non-bias standpoint.
He's completely ignoring the conflicts now that the elections are comming up.
His forgien policy is shallow...He's full of hot air....
I watched Moore's movie. I admit Moore was a bit childish with bellow the belt shots at Bush, but we can't ignore the fact that a lot of what he said was true.
I dont see how a man like this can be the head of the leading country in the world.
Don't even get me started on his decision to invade Iraq ( and the way he did it)...
He can show all the strength in the world. He'll probibly invade Syria, Sudan, Iran... God knews who's next, but one thing's for sure is that he's putting proud Amercian soldiers in harms way for nothing. Many innocent people will die, and he'll just make more enimies.

I dont know much about Kerry, but I know I won't be voting for Mr. Bush.

I don't think even Bush was that stupid. He meant to use "crusade". Bush doesn't support the religious right, he is the religious right. As a born again recovering alcoholic, it's been quite clear before even Sept 11 that he's ensuring his religious agendas infuse our public policy, our scientific policy, and our political policy. And then when people call him on it, he invokes some divine-right-like mumbo jumbo as if he's the right hand of God and therefore beyond questioning.
Bush really does feel he's on a religious war and this is about the Christians against the Muslims -- make no doubt about it. It's just too un-PC for him to come out and publicly say that. But his actions say everything.
This is why I call his administration the American Taliban. The parallels are uncanny.
