The whole thing about Kerry changing his mind over the war was blown out of proportion by the Bush campaign. They called Kerry a flip-flopper when what happened was Bush's people had congress convinced that they knew where weapons of mass destruction were and that they were going to be used at any time. And then he came to his senses and admitted that he made a mistake. Kerry's platform was sort of, "We shouldn't be there but we can't just leave now that we've gone in and mixed everything up. But let's try to get out as soon as possible"

Bush didn't get the most votes in the first election, but you've got to aknowledge the electoral college, even if it is a bunch of hooey and a subject for another long rant. The second time he won I think there were more sinister things going on than the first election. Many voting machines in democratic areas didn't work or sent out the wrong information. It also didn't help that a lot of the people who were into that whol P. Diddy "Vote or Die" thing only registered for merchindise and didn't actually vote.

I agree on the hating the sound of Bush's voice. Even when he was the governer of Texas I couldn't stand him. He just sounds so dumb. I can't watch him when he comes on television, I need to read things later on. He's embarrassing. He won the first term as governer here due to the fact that his father had been president, and people are into nepotism 'round these parts. He won his second term (where he promised not to leave to run for president!) because people aren't really into change when things aren't going so bad in their own lives. His platform for the second term that he used in his commercials was extremely scary to me. "If you are a teenager and you are pregnant, get married. Everything will be okay" Really dumb, but that was his whole campaign.

LEt me just say this. Kerry vs. Bush. I don't think either were particularly good cnatidates but I think Kerry was the better one. Personaly I don't think we have had an exceptionaly good president since the 70's. That is my two cents. It scares me though. It scares me to see where the government of this country is just pulling the wool over the eyes of the American public and flushing the country down the toilet. It scares me so bad. Gas prices sky rocket as people just sit back and say, well I guess I'll just believe everything our government says even though it sounds completly absurd. I am so scared that I still have such a long life to live on a world that is getting worse by the minutes and the people are just letting it happen.
