The reason that I'm voting for Kerry/Edwards this year isn't really because I like them, or because I'm a Democrat (I don't label myself either/or). It's simply because I dislike the way Bush runs this country. While I doubt Kerry being a very good president, I'd much rather him be in there then Bush. I'd vote for someone besides these two, but then my vote wouldn't really count. I'm just curious if anyone else is in the same situation...where you don't really care for Kerry, but you have to vote for him because you hate Bush. I think that it would be pretty shocking to find out just how many people are only voting for Kerry because of this...and not because he's well-suited to be the president.

I think that is the way every person who is voting for Kerry is thinking. Kerry will help bring this country closer to socialism. Yippee.

i think its the only reason anyone is voting for him too...thats the whole reason for this post...its kinda sad when anyone can run for president and have a good chance of being elected just because a lot of ppl hate the current president

note: im not a political freak....i won't get into political debates....if you yell at me for this post or question me about anything to do with politics, i'll probably just do something mature and say, "eat one".......so please don't bother....

I'm sorry... but personally that is a horrible logic. Voting just to remove someone from office and blindly choosing a candidate based solely on the idea that your vote will be diluted of its potential, is truly the antithesis of what the act of voting is really all about. I hope and pray that people would not take such a course; rather, that they choose based on what caliber the people are. I don’t want to swing your vote to Bush, actually Kerry could turn out to be a great president. What I am saying is vote because you feel this person will get the job done, create new economic growth, help those who can not help themselves, and make our nation stronger.

***Legion for president***

LOL I already know....

Truthfully, I'm not bother by Bush. He's a little narrow-sighted. I'm bother by Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Tom Ridge, John Ascroft, Mike Powell, and Donald Rumsfield. Karl Rove has enough shit on John McCain to force him from being the Republican Nominee back in 2000. He spooked out John " I can't raise my arms all the way since I was captured fighting for my country while the current president on this list where possibly serving easy guard duty and then brutually ing tortued for several years" McCain.Cheney use to work under Gerald Ford and Regan, he's also link to Haliburton and tens of thousands of their shares. Tom Ridge only likes to tell us that terrorist can possibly strike at any time. I been living in New York post 9/11, we know that for awhile. We like something a little bit more usuable. John Ashcroft, can't dance, lost to a dead guy and never reveals information when white terrorists plan to destroy america. Colin Powell's son is now chairman of the FCC. The most conservative member of the last five years is in charge of deciding what is allowable on our t.v.s. Fun. Donald Rumsfield may have allowed the concept of torturing enemy combatants to be considered proper American behaviour. We won't know for awhile.

I could care less who is president, presidential power is by all reasons is supposed to be limiting. In fact, it can be considered a figurehead position. Only recently has the president started moving more power underneath him ( enemy combatant status). It his cabinet and the people he chooses to work underneath him, reflect the quality and the progression of his administration. A good Cabinet is what I truly look for. G-Dub has a seriously wack posse behind him. Kerry can easily improve on any one of the people I mentioned in the eyes of America. Damn, all he needs to do is bring back American Ass Kicker #1 Janet Reno back and he owns my vote. Now that was A General Attorney who would with anybody, president included.

hey legion...eat one....lol....look at the poll results so far and see for yourself that all of your hoping & praying isn't doing a damn thing....by the way, did i say "eat one" yet?

note: im not a religious freak....i won't often get into discussions on religion...i actually think that the bible is a load of crap....and if you yell at me for this post or question me about anything to do with religion, i'll probably just do something mature and say, "eat one".......so please don't bother....

Meh, Americans' aren't ready for such a thing. You'll have to go to Canada to see that crazy shit in action.

LOL
Just throwing my two cents in... 2¢

Still gonna hope and pray too... 8)

if you don't like how Bush runs this country and aren't a democrat, i really want to know what your thinking.

Bush has started something and needs to finish it, everyother wartime president stayed in office till the war was over and done with.

to vote for someone simply because you don't want someone else in office is stupid and makes me want to "try" to qoute 'Just In' (pretty sure that's the name, on Spike TV)

"What do you read" "The New York Times"
"Great, i read 3 newspapers, watch 5 hours of cnn a week, read politics agendas and what they want to do, The think that makes this country so great and so awful is that your uneducated vote has as much vaule as my vote that has dozens of hours put into it" (not exact, but close)

Point, your giving loser A the vote because President B isn't In your opinion, not good enough.

How about you vote for canidate C, Raplh Nader.

He sounds alot better than Kerry could ever lie about being.

(note* only those planning on voting for Kerry need apply to vote for Nader, if your voting Bush please continue.)

You mean.... Kerry/Edwards would be a good Presidential team is..... losing?

I'm shocked, absolutely shocked that ABB is in the lead on this board.

Yes, let's vote for Nader and split the anti-Bush vote again, allowing him to sneak into office for another term. That's a great idea.

fireball...eat one....i read the headlines of the baltimore sun, the new york daily news, the new york post, the new york times, the washington times, the wallstreet journal, the racing form, and the washington post every day....if interesting enough, ill open the paper up....i deliver newspapers for a living and get sick of reading the garbage....but while im delivering papers, i have talk radio on...while im home, i have news headlines shoved in my face on tv and on the internet....and while im out and about, i have family, friends, and strangers discussing the daily news to me whether i like it or not....to say that someone is uneducated nowadays means that they close their eyes and ears 24 hrs a day....to say that my vote is uneducated says that you should eat one...so go ahead and do it...eat one

legion rules!
yeah so some video game website is turning the results that 15 people are voting Kerry, better go sell this story to the newspapers.

"ELECTION RESULTS ALREADY KNOW, THANKS TO 21 PEOPLE ON CAG.COM VOTING IN A POLL IN THEIR POLITICAL FOURMS.

Today 15 people voted Kerry while only 6 voted for not for Kerry. This election is already over.

Yeah right...

Wake up people.

Just wait for the results. I'm praying too. and i know my family is too.

lol.... I like the "eat one" binge. It's been a while since I've heard that and "bite me".

I'm not picking on anyone particular in this fourm but my point is other people don't read as much. I live where the newspaper i ever have easy access to is the Dallas Morning News.
I do read The Week, Newsweek, Time, Stuff off msn and other legit sites, like New York times.

Here's another thing, you can't only read Liberal stuff and ignore Republican sources. i've read stuff of Kerry's page and the anti bush sites. you have to get both sides.

I cant vote yet this sucks

you're poking fun at this discussion on "some video game website"...yet you're the one getting all worked up about this....on "some video game website"

-eat one

And we all thought the CC sale brought out the worst in people............

Here's a thought, This fourm could ruin this site.
We have such a split of Democrat/Republican and Bush haters/lovers that we get into these arguments.

As long as these wars stay here and we don't hate eachother beacause of political views.
