I hate them both. In fact, I hate politicians in general. Anyone out there actively seeking power, does not deserve it. Period.
That being said, and keeping in mind that we are stuck in a 2 party system that seems to be a bit of a catch-22, I will be voting for Bush. Here's why...
John Kerry doesn't have any semblance of a plan. I watch the nightly news every day and I still haven't heard him touch on most of the major issues. What I have heard him say is that he plans to do some massive tax raising within a two months of being in office. (Not in those exact words, but that was what he was really saying.) That is not good. I don't want to give any more of my hard earned money to the government only to have them turn around and hand it out to lazy bastards on Welfare that don't feel like working so they pop out kids because it gets them bigger checks each month. (Don't get me wrong, Welfare, in itself, is not a bad program, but I don't think anyone is going to argue that it is already being abused.)
I am adamently against same sex 'marriage', reason being that the word 'marriage' is a Christian term. Where we went wrong here is that they started using it in society too and allowing it to be performed by judges. (Side note: A 'marriage' performed by a judge, is not a marriage in the eyes of Christianity. A priest, deacon or other religious cleric needs to say the ceremony for it to be a real marriage in the eyes of the church.) Keeping that in mind, I feel like they should have left 'marriage' as a religious term, but said that a 'married' couple or one that is in a 'civil union' (Gay or Straight. This is the term they should of used fromthe start for all non-religious weddings.) have equal rights in the eyes of the law. Presto! Everybody's happy.
People often forget that it wasn't only George Bush with faulty intelligence, it was the CIA, the military, even the UN. Bush gets blamed for 'taking us to war', yeah, well he can't do it alone. The Senate and Congress were right there with him. (Even Kerry voted for it.)
I am starting to feel like aI'm rambling already and I've only reached the tip of the iceberg so I'm gonna cut myself off right there. Let me summarize like this...
Bush may be dumb, but he's just a puppet anyways. I think it shows weakness if we change leadership right in the middle of 2 wars. (Iraq & Terror) I don't trust Kerry and he doesn't have a plan, other than raising our taxes.
Like I said, they both suck. We're fucked either way, but if we keep Bush, then at least we don't look like a nation of pussies.
