Just who am I supposed to vote for?!?

"Vote for Kerry, I want my economy back."

Its back. Its been back. Just because worthless jobs that should be being done cheaper overseas were being filled by morons who can no longer find a job has absolutely no weight what-so-ever.

"Your" economy was on the way down while Billary was still in office. Remember the bottom falling out of the dotcoms?

I am a Bush supporter, with that being said, I give the following advice;
Look at what the candidate has to offer. Do they say/do what they actually believe, or do they say what it takes to get elected? Personally, I think it is a safer bet to vote for a candidate when I know what they stand for, even if some of what they stand for goes against what I personally believe, than it is to vote for a candidate who cant make up his mind on what to believe. At least you know what you are getting.

Look at what each candidate will do for our future. I believe that a President must have a goal, must believe in something to run the country. If you dont support everything that a candidate stands for, and I know that I dont, you need to weigh your options.

Something to ponder, the vast majority, 90% IIRC of those who plan to vote for Bush, support him. Of those who plan to vote for Kerry, only 30% support him, close to 50% are voting for Kerry only because they are voting against Bush...

If you actually care, and want to learn, go to this site, www.factcheck.org it tears apart both candidates claims, and gives you the facts to make an informed decision.

On one hand you got Bush. He appears to be a very moral person. yet he has invaded two countries and hasn't found a logical conclusion to each. But there haven't been any terrorist attacks since 9/11 so thats a plus. But where are these WMDs that he told me were there? Was he lying?

Bush has the highest level of integrity as President we've seen in quite some time, certainly since Reagan. There was an excellent series of reason for the war in Afghanistan that are completely demonstrable. For Iraq the WMD have not been found yet but the programs have been found and dismanteled and the links to terror have been/are being severed. So, although the prime reason for the war (destroying the WMD) has not been accomplished yet a threat to this country has been removed. And no, Bush was not lying. It is possible (although not certain) that he was wrong, but he wasn't lying.

Then i've got Kerry. At best, Kerry is the most liberal senator in the U.S. Seriously, Kennedy is considered the CONSERVATIVE senator from Mass. And, I don't think he is particularly truthful either, I have seroius questions about his combat record that he has been touting (3 purple hearts in 4 months and no limp?!? not too mention a Bronze and a Silver Star...) and his actions after the war.

His combat record is undisputed. He server honorably and with distinction. When he got back he reverted right back into his normal peace-nik ultra liberal north eastern self. The only problem I have with that is that he slandered his fellow soldiers based only on heresay he picked up while in Vietnam. He never saw attrocities, but he claimed he did before congress.

But Kerry is a terrible candidate. He's such an insane whacko that he's got basically no chance to win. His foreign leaders flap is just the beginning. It'll get better as time goes on.

Oh, I'm sorry. Did Bush regulate CEO's pay and unintentionally cause the massive fraud that happened at places like Enron? No, he didn't.

Did the recession start under Bill Clinton? Yes, it did.

Did Bush crash two planes into the world trade center rolling back the progress on the economy that had been made? No, he didn't.

Did Bush's tax cuts stimulate stock market and economic growth of 5%? Yes, they did.

Its coming back, clearly and strongly. Don't believe Kerry who just likes to harp on the jobs. Truth is, the reason the jobs picutre looks so bad is he picks the most pessimistic report to read (and probably the least accurate in today's new economy). The Household report shows nearly a million new jobs created in the last several months (as opposeed to the payroll report which shows only about 1/4 that).

Also put this into account...John Kerry is a carrot. When I met him(yes, even python meets senators he doesn't like from states he doesn't like), his skin tone could best be described as "VDOT Orange". The man is 7 months away from complete metamorphisis into a carotine rich vegetable. Do you want to vote for a man who has identity problems?


Seriously though, Lurch there needs to see a doctor, or farmer, or both.

I'd say just get as much information as you can and chose the candidate that follows what you believe the closest.
