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.

I'm voting for Bush. I feel that instead of sitting back and waiting for things to happen he has grabbed the reins and took control, this scares people. A lot of people don't want a leader who will make a preemptive strike against something, (terrorism) they want to wait until something irreparable happens and then try to fix it, (stoplight syndrome) we have already had that happen, and hopefully it will never happen again.
Maybe he's not the smartest guy in the world, but I don't want that guy, because he thinks he knows it all already. What's wrong with his family being rich. I'm sure any of us would think it was OK if we were. I consider myself a Conservative on most issues, and Kerry is to liberal for me. I also don't like the whole deal with his wife, I'm voting for the candidate, not his wife. The last thing this country needs is another Hillary Clinton riding along on her husbands coattails....turns his head and whence's as he prepares for the blows...bring on the pain!

I'm voting for Kerry, based on the fact, that unlike George Dubya he has actually served his country in combat. Although I am tired of hearing about his 3 purple hearts.
Also I believe that Bush is the WORST President in History. He has already put our country into more debt than any other President in our country's short history. He has LIED and LIED, and LIED to the American people. He has said that Saddam has ties with Al Qada, well guess what so does he!!

Because it's a brilliant film, it's so funny, and the soundtrack kicks fucking ass!

Yeah he served his country for a couple months, did what he needed to do to get out (3 purple hearts, two of which were for self-inflicted wounds) and then he came home and burned flags for a couple years while protesting the war, not to mention writing a book about it (Which he has since tried to buy up every copy of.)
What a hero... :rolleyes:

I'm voting for Kerry. When Bush was elected into office, my friend turned to me and said: "You know, this is the beginning of a long road to hell." And he was right.
As a teacher, Bush's decisions have affected my life personally. His "No Child Left Behind Act" has put more accountability on the teachers for a child's learning. If you spend one day in the classroom, you will know that a teacher will work his/her heart out to get these children to learn ... and they will sit and stare or mouth-off. They will refuse to do the work, never do the homework, and when the parents are called, the teacher gets chewed out by the parent for their child's performance (at least, the parent's who care somewhat about it will chew the teacher out. The other parents who don't care will hardly listen and hang up without saying a word.) Yet, if a child does not pass the state test (which anyone with an iota of knowledge on educational theory will tell you that high-stakes testing is NOTHING but bad), the teacher is called on the carpet and his or her job is in serious jeopardy. The fact that Bush has put a ban on stem-cell research proves that he his letting his religious views affect his decisions. Because he thinks it is "immoral" according to his faith, Bush will not allow science to advance in an area that could be of GREAT benefit to humankind. Banning same-sex marriage is equally ridiculous -- and to imply that officially recognizing the union of two people in love will open a Pandora's Box of sexual evils is ridiculous as well. Who's to say that allowing to men or two women to form a legal bond will allow people to begin marrying their sisters, cousins, pets, etc? I don't see it going that way, and you can't come to that conclusion logically. Not if you take into account the genetic dangers involved with inbreeding (dangers that do not exist between a gay couple). As for marriage being a Christian term --- it may have been at one time, but the usage has changed. It has not been a Christian term for a LONG time. It is a generic term used to describe a close union between two things (As in "a marriage of minds"). I mean, if you want to get picky, Christmas isn't REALLY a Christian holiday. It was usurped by the christians in an effort to convert more pagans (who were simply celebrating the coming of winter). So, it seems to me that Bush has waged just as big a war on the American people as he has against terror. I can't think of ONE good thing that Bush has done for us here at home that is not related to his stupid war. Not one. So, I'm voting for Kerry. Anything has to be better than Bush.
