Alright, so I just merged two topics together that both pertain to the election. I do this because it seems that people will just post the same things in both threads. Please do not create anymore topics on this. Please continue to discuss the election and its results here.
Thank you. Topics Merged |

QUOTE(TBoltzbabe @ Nov 3 2004, 2:15 AM) see it's more of 'i want to vote for kerry' and not 'i dont want to vote for bush'. i support abortion. i believe it is any woman's choice whether or not they can get abortions or not. i also support medicine from canada. canada isn't like africa, the medicine is probably just as safe as ours. also, i believe in equality in all races, sexes, religions, and social statuses, which kerry supports a hell of a lot more than bush does. i also understand our economy is low and kerry has to means to bring it up. i also believe this war in iraq needs to end as soon as possible, and since cheney is profitting greatly from the war, with bush there instead of kerry it doesnt seem very likely it will end soon. i also believe our relations with other countries MUST be mended. i support everything you said there other than abortion. but the abortion thing seems a bit rediculous, as bush was already in office and it was still legal. does anyone really believe bush will change anything in the next four years? and relations with other countries really do need to be fixed, and i do not think war over oil is the answer. also, kerry has far better environmental policies than bush. despite alll this, many people still refuse to recognize the good he could do. i must admit, ive had my doubts, but i think i do think it would have been better is kerry had won |

What evidence did he have of them having "weapons of mass destruction". His advisors were warning him not to go to war but he didn't listen. Now our US soldiers, innocent Iraqi civilians, non-residents working in Iraq, etc. are paying our price. Even our allies are upset with us. |

I was going back and forth between candidates for a while and didn't even come to a decision until yesterday when I was standing in line. I don't trust Kerry. Like I said earlier, I don't like either candidate but I am more confident that Bush will do a better job at repairing this country than Kerry. |

And the year before that he was in Cuba guarding terrorists. While I support my uncle, what he believes in and why he believes he's over there, I do not agree with this warn. We went in there under false pretenses and now everyone is paying the price. It sucks. It just plain sucks. |

Apparently you too have the rose-coloured sunglasses that Bush seems to be wearing. How can you be so blind to say that we are winning a war that wasn't needed in the first place? We are not winning, can't you see that we are just occupying them? They're killing us and we're killing them. But for what? Getting rid of Saddam who had NOTHING to do with 9/11? It's going to be four more years of hell. |

I have no faith in Bush, and I wouldn't trust him with my life. I don't think he'll lead us on the right path at all. It will be a long and twisted road before we finally come out into the clearing. Kerry, I felt, would've been able to bring new life to this country that Bush has torn apart. People are split more today than ever. On issues, the war, morals, the economy, and I just don't think he will be the one to lead us out of our seperation. *shrugs* We'll see I guess. I hope I'm proven wrong though, and Bush isn't the crook I believe him to be. |

Then the left began attacking him when things started going awry in Iraq, which is why we are divided. |

i think we should stop saying that our country is going to die. we're stronger than that. we can get through all of this together. let's just give bush another chance to prove his four more years. we're lucky enough to even live in the USA

No. Not period. According to reliable intelligence, there was a threat of WMDs in Iraq. 3 intelligence agencies said so. Bush was given the information and the choice to act on the information. I am proud that he chose to protect our country. Thank you Mr. Bush. |

QUOTE(kryogenix @ Nov 3 2004, 1:24 PM) the truth is that our economy is doing great and we're winning the war on terrorism and in iraq. Umm..how is the economy doing great when Bush inherits the largest surplus in US history, and then driving it into the largest deficit in US history? Do you mean our economy is doing well after Bush drove it into the red ink? Winning the war on terrorism? You mean that time we captured Saddam a few seasons back? O yea, I remember that! Hmm..that was a while ago, why are our friends and family still in Iraq? To spread Democracy? Ok, well, Iraq's first President got elected today, can we leave now? No? We got to make sure the Iraqi's follow the system? We're the World Police now? Maybe we should scout for Osama Bin Laden, I haven't heard anything about us searching for Osama for years. |

Bush drove it to red ink? Have you forgotten already? Hint* These two buildings, which were in the financial capital of the world, were knocked down on this day. 9/11 destroyed the World Trade Center. I don't think that helps the economy. Bush inherited a recession from Bill Clinton as well. The internet bubble burst and too much money was printed out due to the Y2K scare. None of those things were under his control. How could it be his fault? Yes we are spreading Democracy in Iraq. Afghanistan elected its president, not Iraq, get it right before you start attacking the President. We need to keep the place stable in time for January elections. Kerry said he would do the same thing. We are still searching for Bin Laden. Didn't you hear that we are sending some of the most elite troops that we have to hunt him down? |
