laying your personal opinions of me aside for a moment, i assume that the three things i heard about kerry were true since no one stated otherwise?

no one said i had to give logical reasons, or humane ones, or even realistic ones, i was asked why i thought kerry was evil..

now, since i crawled out on that limb and exposed myself to your ridicule, will someone please tell me why kerry was OK???

i am not asking why he is better than bush either, because you may only think he is the lessor of the two evils as well.. i want to know why he is OK?

1) Decent foreign policy- he had the vision that other countries would help more in Iraq, that he'll work more with the Israel/Palestine issue, and basically not to piss off the rest of the world. I imagine this would work out better for all of own safetys instead of bombing foreign countries because "there's a nasty man in charge who we once gave chemical weapons to when we liked him" (in which case, why are North Korea, Sudan, Russia etc. etc. who are s**tting on their own people being ignored?) or scaring the population into submission over some "war against terror" that opens up oh so many horrible precedents for other countries and probably just makes everything worse.

2) Decent energy policy- he's quite keen to develop alternate energy sources, which is such a good idea in so many ways.

3) He supports stem cell research, unlike Bush The Goon who'd rather impose his religious views on the whole world via the UN (which usually he's quite quick to ignore)

4) Edwards seems like a nice chap. Unlike Cheney, who I'm surprised is still around...

5) I'm a bit sketchy on this one, but I think Kerry was quite keen to stop giving such huge tax-cuts to the richest in society... Both of them would be able to handle the economy otherwise, anyway.

I'd go research some more, but it's 1am :/

now, i may be a complete dips**t but, doesn't every presidential candidate make such promises as these? i mean really, could someone win an election and have morals and policies that would be anything but exemplery..

now don't misunderstand, i am not calling you a liar, far be it, but you don't think much of this can happen in just 4 years do you? still lets say his heart was in the right place, but we will never know since he didn't win..

i wish i could remember exactly what bush promised 4 years ago and compare it to what actually occured...

anywho's.. those were good answers, truly, but i still see abortion/pro-choice as pure evil.. it over shadows all other good intentions.. it wouldn't be the first time good intentions went horribly astray..

thanx for the info though.. it was...enlightening.

I am sick and tired of all these redneck Bush supporters flaming Kerry. I would've voted for Bush if I could've voted, but I think Kerry is a smarter and better person. It's just that Bush had slightly better plans. The election is over and we have our president so lets drop these damn presidential threads.

I just got to this thread and I would like to address something I've read so far and correct someone.

Well, looks like Kerry gave up on us. Crap, I better not get drafted to the Iraq war.

thought anyone?

First off, if you even payed any attention about anything having to do with the draft, you would not have said that. Most people so far think that the draft was going to be brought back and people would start getting drafted again like back in Vietnam. Wrong. A while ago, a democrat named Charlie Rengal proposed a bill that would bring back the draft. This bill was so stupid that everytime it was brought to the floor, the house would kill it. In recent news, the republicans brought the bill to the floor once again to kill it once and for all. Democrats then took that information and twisted into a lie. They told everyone that the republicans were bringing back the draft by bringing the bill to the house floor. Wrong again. The republicans were simply trying to get rid of the democratic sponsered bill. As you can probably tell by now, I am republican and pro-bush. So please, before posting something, please do a little research on it.
