republicans not only try and push their opinions on you, they try and make their opinions law.
not that some democrats dont, and i hate partisan bickering, as i dont think either party has it all right or all wrong, but the attempts to pass constitutional matters on marriage,(which is as i see it, a religious thing,) is just wrong.
However, someone asked to tell why they like kerry/edwards and not just state that they dont like bush.
Im gonna make some disctinctions now.
this is all my opnion btw.
1) we should vote for the best candidate, but we dont, and as nice as it would be for us to be able to pick the best president, we cant. sometimes we have to vote for the lesser of two evils, and try and minimize damage. i support a utilitarian method of voting. and i feel that more good for more people would be done with kerry.
2)bush sucks.
so, why vote for kerry? he has a plan for iraq, he could get help from other nations, he has plans for healthcare, half the world doesnt hate him, he actually served in vietnam, he doesnt have the saudi oil money in the family, he supports womens rights for abortion, they dont think there needs to be an amendment for *** marriage, and they just seem to care more about the common man that does g.w. they wont give tax cuts to the wealthy and they would not raise taxes on lower income families. they also address the issue of paying of the debt as opposed to just giving more tax cuts. also, the economy has done statistically better under democrats.
disagree with me if you wish, but those are the reasons in voting for kerry. i also dont like bushs refusal to admit wrong, the way his administration is run, what hes done with the economy, healthcare, the war, or with taxes, or with the debt.
but thats just me, and im just one man. it makes me sad to think that as informed as i am about the issues, my vote is equal to some stupid redneck thats just gonna vote for bush because he thinks the democrats are gonna take away his guns and let fags marry.
also, bush sucks in reference to the economy.
i dont want a president i could have a beer with, i dont want my country run by a man who cant speak english. i want someone that is better than me, and someone that i can at least think i can trust. not a liar, a misleader, and someone who wont even meet and talk under oath about the greatest tragedy in american history.

You must be one of those guys that makes over 200k per year. I think those are the only people that John Kerry isin't going to give tax relief to, and even amound those voters he is carrying 60% of them.
