what's wrong with voting Kerry?

[Tim Vaughan]

Right?? So, is this your apology for your lies all over the forum?

Something is a lie only when the motive is wrong. The person who said yesterday that the 3 million Polish Jews weren't part of the 6 million total holocaust victims wasn't lying. This is pretty basic stuff. We both made inaccurate statements based on what we believed to be the truth.

.............
I think that Kerry-Edwards would make better leaders for the nation.
..............
Anyway, what do you think?

Kerrys meeting with the North Vietnamese Leaders prior to the end of the war made him - to me - a traitor.  
A traitor is not the kind of leader I would follow.

A QUESTION TO ALL KERRY SUPPORTERS.
Why is your candidate the best man to run the country?

1 or 2 paragraphs only please.

Grace and Peace!

No takers?  hmmm

The next president will likely appoint four new Supreme Court Judges.  This could have a real impact on issues like abortion, so-called gay marriage ,Pledge of Allegience cases and other issues of interest to Christians.

Very true acinom.   This election will have impact far byond the 4 year term.   One thing that really gets my blood pumping are Judges legislating from the bench when they are not held accountable by the people.   After all, this nation is suppose to be for the people and by the people.   Another reason why this election is so important, and will probably have long term affect our legislating court system.

Grace and Peace!

From World Net Daily:

The first documentary evidence that Vietnamese communists were directly steering John Kerry's antiwar group Vietnam Veterans Against the War has been discovered in a U.S. archive, according to a researcher who spoke with WorldNetDaily.

One freshly unearthed document, captured by the U.S. from Vietnamese communists in 1971 and later translated, indicates the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese delegations to the Paris peace talks that year were used as the communications link to direct the activities of Kerry and other antiwar activists who attended.

Kerry insists he attended the talks only because he happened to be in France on his honeymoon and maintains he met with both sides. But previously revealed records indicate the future senator made two, and possibly three, trips to Paris to meet with Viet Cong leader Madame Nguyen Thi Binh then promote her plan's demand for U.S. surrender.

Jerome Corsi, a specialist on the Vietnam era, told WND the new discoveries are the "most remarkable documents I've seen in the entire history of the antiwar movement."

"We're not going to say he's an agent for Vietnamese communists, but it's the next thing to it," he said. "Whether he was consciously carrying out their direction or naively doing what they wanted, it amounted to the same thing -- he advanced their cause."

no...no takers...and I wonder why! Geesh! I'm not gonna sit here and waste my time telling you why I like Kerry...because this is stupid. There is no debate here! It's like two against the rest of the site...my opinions aren't going to change your minds anyway...I don't feel like talking about this anymore at all. I'm sooooo sick of this whole election....uh. I hate polotics...everyone lies and cheats, yes, even the "wonderful, angelic" George Dubaya Bush.

Okay, I have in front of me a newspaper clipping from the opinions collumn...A Catholic who's voting for Kerry
   "If George Bush were so intent on fostering the culture of life that Catholics hold so dear, he would not have rushed into a war that even the Pope called unjust.
   "During his years as governer of Texas, he would have commuted the death sentences of prison inmates. Instead, in stark contrast to Catholic teaching, he presided over the executions of more than a hundred of them.
   "Today, he would be choosing to use extant but now un-needed or unwanted frozen embryos to further stem cell research and unleash the promises it holds for improving life. Instead, in a morally bankrupt act of ommision, he chooses to do nothing, so inevitably these embryos are fated to a meaningless destruction. I'm a Catholic and I'm voting for a fellow Catholic; Sen. John Kerry."
                                               -Annie Rahman

Yeah, so there's one opinion, but I don't feel like discussing this anymore so...make of that what you will. However, I'm not  saying that I agree with everything Annie says, but I'm not say'n I don't. I will say that I agree with her last sentence without a doubt.

Actually, I would also be interested in reading why you DO like Kerry as opposed to those who pop in and rudely say that we shouldn't vote for Bush. In all fairness, I doubt it would change my mind since I've spent too much time researching both of the main candidates but I would be interested in reading your thoughts.  

As long as the reason to vote for Kerry is just to not vote for Bush.....

Saved_byChrist, I completely understand your frustration.   There are many Bush supporters here.   The real point of my question was to demonstrate an observation I have noted.   Everyone I have asked this question to, cannot give me 1 or 2 paragraphs as to why Kerry should be the man, without spending a good part of their answer negating Bush....even though the question was about Kerry.    Instead of answering why Kerry is the best man, its always Anybody but Bush.   I'm sure you might feel ganged up on so to speak, but can you see it from this perspective?   If it cannot be answered Why is Kerry the best man without mentioning why Bush is not, then maybe Kerry politics have not truely been considered.   Just a thought.

Actually, I would also be interested in reading why you DO like Kerry as opposed to those who pop in and rudely say that we shouldn't vote for Bush. In all fairness, I doubt it would change my mind since I've spent too much time researching both of the main candidates but I would be interested in reading your thoughts.

SH, you are sharp girl!     This WAS the whole point of my question.    

I've already voted, so I'm sorta over the debating, but I think Kerry supporters should at least be able to give 2 or 3 reasons why their guy is the guy....and not why Bush is not.

Grace and Peace!

Three of the reasons I support Kerry:

The presidency is a position that deals with very complex issues.  John Kerry has demonstrated that he has the analytical skills to deal with the details of very complicated topics and to handle the fine lines in a logical way.

The preisdent has a duty to defend the interests of everyday Americans.  John Kerry takes positions that consistently benefit everyday Americans - taxes, healthcare, labor laws etc..  These positions show greater concern for those who are poor and disadvantaged.

The current climate calls for a tremendous grasp of foreign policy.  John Kerry has a strong understanding of working with others and developing allies.  His position leads the US to be stronger in a world that is increasingly globally interdependent.

As a Canadian, I obviously have no vote in your election. However, as a politically aware Canadian, I understand all to well the ramifications of U.S. policy.  As such, I would love to see Bush re-elected.  Thanks to his poor economic policy, the canadian dollar is currently trading at a 12 year high, Canadian challenges with the WTO are comming back with pro-Canadaian decisions, and our own economy is thankfully soaking up all of the international investment that is fleeing an unstable U.S. market.  As far as foreign policy, Canada, the peacable kingdom has never looked so good in the eyes of NATO, UN or EU allies.  In terms of the middle east, we're looked at as little more than the infidels little quiet neigbor.  So, if you wouldn't mind, please re-elect Bush, because his incompotence means my life gets better!

I hadn't checked this thread for awhile but thought I would say why I am now a Kerry supporter.

I really thought Edwards was the proper choice so I would have said that he was the best man, but that choice is no longer available.

Kerry is slow to anger.  This is a complicated War we are in, simple direct actions are likely to be simply wrong.  We must consider the effects our actions will have years from now, not just shoot from the hip.  Kerry is clearly more suited to think situations over before taking action.  

Kerry's tax policy is better for the middle class.  The moral strength of our country comes from the middle class.  The Middle Class is in great danger of shrinking.   A US without a large Middle Class is just another third-world country.  

Kerry is willing to cooperate with other countries.  The US must turn from the idea that we are the only superpower and it's our way or the highway.  We aren't going to win anything if it's the US against the World.  Kerry is quite well suited to meet with and negotiate favorable positions for the US even with countries that aren't always our best friends.

Kerry's health care plan is the better of the two.  That isn't saying a lot, but it is better.  It would help where people are loosing their whole life's work to catastrophic health care costs.  It would also help remove some of the fear employers have of hiring someone who might or does have health issues.

That's a nutshell, but you wanted it short.
