I hope that the very first public debate helped you to understand why millions of people are backing John Kerry for the presidency in 2004. While it was obvious that Mr. Kerry was more prepared to debate, what was more obvious was his knowledge of national affairs and his concern for the American people.
John Kerry and his running mate have clear a nd specific goals for getting our country back on track, for fighting terrorism in this country and abroad, and for getting our economy back in line with something that our children can live with in the future. All of these issues are very important this election year. I don't think that one issue is more important than the other because as Americans we all fit into one category or another.
What you need to realize is that no matter what category you fall into, whether it's the seniors, single parents, college parents, soldiers' parents or spouses, or an unemployed person, John Kerry has your best interest at heart. We have seen the brilliance of President George Bush, and I don't think many will disagree the he knows what he wants and he goes after it. But, I always thought that the job of the president of the U.S. was to know what was best for all Americans and to go after that.
Please elect John Kerry to the presidency this year. Your vote counts, and we need a total change in our nation's capitol. Better leadership is our only resolve.

"We have seen the brilliance of President George Bush, and I don't think many will disagree the he knows what he wants and he goes after it. But, I always thought that the job of the president of the U.S. was to know what was best for all Americans and to go after that."
I agree, except about seeing his "brilliance" (I'd call it madness.)
He has the lowest morals of any president on record. To knowingly (and he did) wait for the UN to assure Iraq was free of weapons, and then to do an unprovoked attack on a defenseless nation - killing over 10,000 civilians by last count... over 1,000 of our children died there too. He talks the talk, but he doesn't walk the walk.
I belong to the "anybody but Bush" campaign, but I definitely believe Kerry to be more competent. Sadly, I think the Kerry campaign managers have done a poor job.
So, I'm voting for Kerry. The Republicans should have run Ron Paul.
As to flip-flop (another over simplistic bushism) - there is a huge difference between someone who changes their mind when presented with new evidence, and someone who has a mind closed to all reality.

| i am voting for bush too. sorry, but that is whom i choose to vote for. i didn't vote for him in 2000, but i think john kerry flip flops on too many issues, and i don't like the fact that he supports abortion, gay rights, or same-sex marriages. that just doesn't stand too well with me. he doesn't have the experience to be a leader, and there is just something about him that gives me the creeps. just my point of view is all. |

| I appreciate your views on the subject and think that people must vote their choice. However from what I have seen of Kerry's record there is none. I like John Edwards but I am voting for the same man that I voted for in 2000. However I do believe that people can agree pleasantly to disagree. When I find the democrat in which I could support then I will. Unfortunately Dick Gephardt nor Joe Lieberman got the nod. I hope you understand my point of view. But you did put your comments far nicer than a lot on both sided and I commend you for it. |
