Bush vs. Kerry

Now I might be opening a can of worms here, but I'd like to know who would have voted for Kerry, and who would have voted for Bush in the '04 election? And why.

While a topic like this might spark some heated controversy, the average age on this forum is... unfortunately low, so I don't think I will expect too much... I'd like intelligible responses please, nothing without reason.

BUSH SUCKS and KERRY CAN GO TO HELL

Are examples of unintelligent responses. Please do not mirror these responses.

I would like to hear your opinion, but I would not like to acquaint myself with the level of your ignorance, so if you don't have something smart to say, save face and just don't say it. lol

I'm an ass sometimes, sorry, but it's only a by-product of the daily observation of constant stupidity.

Anyway, responses without reasons will not be addressed.

I expect no replies.

i agree about ur views on both of them lol, i wanted gore to be president lol, all he does now is bug people about global warming

Well I wanted Kerry to win. Basically for a lot of reasons.
~I'm Democratic~
And I didn't like how Bush acted and performed the election before this one. It seemed like he did not do enough for the poor people such as myself.

Oh, and Kerry was NOT for gay marriages(No offense to those people)!!! Bush and Kerry were not for it, it was just thought Kerry was since Bush wasn't(At least around my area).

I like Moshcow he lost though.

Yeah, I agree with those viewpoints...but I sure hope the Secret Service or someone isn't looking...they always say that they look inside chatrooms and people get arrested for having that strong of a view...but I donno how they run things...heck I would have not been American if they didn't take over the Virgin Islands! ;D

Ya, I hope they don't catch us. It would be weird........

LOL, trust me, my mom's a former corrections officer; I've seen inside jail plenty of times...it's NOT a piece of cake...no way I wanna be going to jail cause of something like this... :-/

I know,it would really suck.......

now bush wants kerry to apologize about that remart kerry made at that press conference saying that dum people end up in a war in iraq, i know he meant it toward the president, but it did kinda sound like he was talking to the troops, i think that he should apologize to the troops and keep what he said about new jersey

i think all politicians are liers... we deserve to be told the truth

Amen to that...I think that we are being lied to and manipulated because we are no more than regular people instead of living in a higher celebrity standpoint where we get to find out inside stuff that they keep hidden from us...it's ridiclious in every way...

A conversation about politicians.

AOSM allan (2:40:01 PM): That's good, I'm not challenging your will to persue a career, only the belief that "lawyers lie to help people, and politicians lie for themselves"

AOSM allan (2:40:58 PM): lmfao
AOSM allan (2:41:23 PM): As there are such things as "good lawyers", there are such things as "good politicians", though few and far between they might be...
AOSM allan (2:42:02 PM): In order for a "good" politician to help people, he will need money and polularity, which he might gain through less than what is considered ethical means.
Inmate #001 (2:42:21 PM): yea, the congressman for this community, where i live is good
Inmate #001 (2:42:43 PM): he donated $1 million to our school and all the schools under his land
Inmate #001 (2:43:51 PM): he donates to hospitals and a lotta stuff
Inmate #001 (2:43:57 PM): he does stuff for the community
AOSM allan (2:44:04 PM): that's good
---------------------------------------------

Just an active example of what I would have said in response to the common assertions that "All politicians are liars", "All politicians are bad", etc.

If you believe that Melissa Joan Hart will know that a terrorist attack will happen before we do just because she's "living in a higher celebrity standpoint", you'd be widely mistaken. If someone knows of something before another person does, it's because they have the money to fund informants. They don't need to be a "celebrity" to do that.

What exactly is it that you want to be told the truth about? If you're talking about things like terrorist attacks etc, then theres the obvious ambiguity to avoid panic. If not then I'd like to know what else you'd really like to know the whole story about. A lot of people jump on that bandwagon, but don't really know what they want. Prove me wrong.
