Election 2004!

[La Vie Boheme]

Hi all, wow its been a VERY long time since I posted...probably about 6 months? I cant remember exactly, but I just started college this year and its been very busy.

Anyway, I had some free time so thought I'd catch up with the crowd. I noticed something looking over the posts that caught my interest. There's alot of slander going on about both candidates, and it seems that if it slanders Bush that its horribly exaggerated and untrue, but if it slanders Kerry its the holy word...

Now Im going to be honest, I really really really don't like Bush. On the other hand I'm not a big fan of Kerry. BUT since it is my first election and I want to vote, and sadly since the two party system doesn't represent my political views, I will vote for the candidate who I agree with more who is *drum roll*

Mr. John Kerry.

This is just my opinion, I don't think any less of anyone who votes for Bush...I just agree with Kerry more. The thing is, neither man is perfect, and it seems dumb (to me at least) to overwhelmingly accept and encourage the slander of one and ignore slander of the other, regardless of how true or untrue any of it is...just listen to what each man says and vote for who you think is right ya know?

Also... the last time I checked, this IS a Democracy and it wouldn't be a Democracy if we didn't have people who had varying opinions. So really, I don't get all the bashing of people because they like one candidate or the other. Embrace the fact that we are allowed to have these opinions: to each their own.

Now that I'm done ranting, I thank you for reading my bloated, horribly preachy (I honestly hope it wasn't), and over-wordy post. I look forward to replies!

Viva La Vie Boheme!

Yes please tell us

Hmmm....

The whole point of my post is that as Americans and as a Democracy people think differently and are allowed to have opinions.

Am I wrong for voting for Kerry? No

Is anyone else wrong for voting for Bush? No

Both liberals and conservatives want to make this a better country, because we all love this country. We just have different ideas of how to make it better. There's nothing wrong with having a difference of opinions or ideas.

Are you a Christian?
Do you believe That Christians are to follow the guidelines set forth in the Bible?
Do you wish to keep your freedom?
Do you want the U.S. to stay out of the one world government?

Welcome back La Vie B!  Now, just to set the record straight...

...if you believe in growing babies to kill for their stem cells...vote for Kerry.

...if you believe that it's best to save the mother's life, with, or without her approval, by crushing the skull of her baby while it is being born...vote Kerry.

...if you believe that Adam and Steve have every right to be a married couple in the eyes of God and in the law of this land...vote Kerry.

...if you have a moral bone in your body...don't vote Kerry.  Vote Bush.


   WB!!!!

My apologies!   Here's a more mature response that all of your what? 21 years might appreciate.....

I do not believe that Kerry is the better candidate nor do I believe that Kerry is even a good candidate and I have heard no mature response from you as to why you think you should vote for Kerry.

Does that meet with your approval?

Am I wrong for voting for Kerry? No

RECOUNT!

Some of you seem to be bordering on idol worship when it comes to Bush.

Listen, friend, I really want to help you. President Bush signed a law to give money to do research on stem cells. Flinging around silly rhetoric is no substitute for the kind of thoughtful debate that is necessary to get our country back on the right track.

And to the silly remark about the Berlin Wall, the West Germans and Hungarians did much more that Reagan ever did to bring down that wall.

Timmy, You really aren't any good at this mind-reading stuff!

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real...."
