Let me just say that I have a lot of democratic views, and up until this election was nothing but democratic, but am voting for Bush.
Ok first of all, at least Cory is voting for something he believes in-terriorism and war. If thats all he is focusing on that is better than a lot of dumb ass people (rock stars and actors-public eye) I see on tv that say, "hey vote for Kerry b/c Bush is dumb." At least Cory has one point that he believes in and knows about. So I say if thats all you know Cory you are at least somewhat into what is going on and smarter than a majority of our peers!
Second, Emily, the whole abortion thing really doesn't matter. The only people that can change that is the Supreme Court. Plus, Bush is pro-life but doesn't oppose abortion if a woman gets raped, its incest, or unhealty for the mother. So don't worry about having to go through horrible events of being raped and ending up with a child. I think this issue is put at rest!
Right now I am as sick as a dog so I am going back to bed but I will have more in the next couple of days. Stay tuned!

Yeah, research
Cory,
I want you to post something other than the word "terrorism" when it comes to Bush, and I give you my word I will listen and be more than happy consider your opinion.
Oh, look HALLOWEEN SITES

Political Intelligence..................
Cory, people find those quotes when they 'learn' about the two canidates for the 2004 presidential election. This learning process is called 'research'. In this case it is learning about what each canidate plans to do for their four years in office, what they support and don't support.
On a different note you believe that Bush is doing a great job about 'terrorism'? He has been fighting 'terrorism' now for 3 years. What do we have to show for it? The answer to that question would be nothing. Please, prove me wrong. So how can you say he has great plans for terrorism? If he does why hasn't he done anything in the past 3 years?! What is this great plan anyways?! We give you examples of what Kerry wants to do, why can't you give us examples of what Bush wants to do? Please, give us examples of WHY you want to vote for Kerry, thats all we ask, and then we will leave you alone and respect your decision.
Here are some reasons WHY I want to vote for Kerry:
1) I am a college student, and tuition rates are increasing more than inflation. Even if I wasn't a college student, I still want to be able to afford sending my children to college. It is stupid to think that a college degree will cost you more than what most people pay for their homes that they live in for the rest of their lives. ~ Bush began the 'no child left behind', this was great, but then he made it so the really poor people who really needed it weren't eligible. Not only did he do that, but he also cut over a billion dollars from this program to, in his words, "fight terrorism". Is POVERTY (poor, under educated) not one of the 4 MAIN SOURCES OF CRIME? So wouldn't taking money, chances, hope, and education from the poor allow more crime and "TERRORISM" within our own boundaries? Because there will be more children traped in their economic status without even a chance to move one step up within the social classes. YEAH THATS WHAT I THOUGHT! Kerry on the other hand has made a wonderful plan to make college affordable for EVERYONE. By means of community service.
2) I am a woman, and I am prochoice! I want the reassurance of knowing that if I get raped within my lifetime and become pregnant by my rapist I will have the choice to stop that. By means of "The morining after pill" or by abortion. I shouldn't have to carry that child ( a reminder of that horrible event) for 9 months and go in front of muiltipe juries and people I've never seen to re-tell my horrible story, just so I can gain enough rights in "The Land Of The Free" to make my own decision. It would not be fair to myself or that unborn child to place me responsible of a life that I didn't want, especially if I am not responsible enough to make my own decision about my own body. Bush is against every thing that I just stated. Kerry is on the exact same level of thought as me.
3) I believe knowledge is the most important thing in the world. You need knowledge to survive in our society. You need to know what foods are healthy and which are not. You need to know how to protect yourself, in more ways than one. Bush has wanted (not sure if this has passed yet) to take all sex education out of health classes in the United States. He wants to take all mention of ways to protect your self from sexually transmitted diseases and ways to avoid becoming pregnant out of health classes. With AIDS at an extremely increasing rate within the United States, we should, as a Country, try to do everything we can to stop it. We should be telling middle schooler's how NOT to be infected with AIDS, rather than not tell them anything at all. We should be helping to save lifes, not end them faster. There were 7.4 million people infected with HIV in 2003. (that is a stat, but that was the newest one I could find). The percentage of new outbreaks of brothel-based sex workers dropped from 43 percent in 1998 to 29 percent in 2002 due to condom-promotions. Come on people that number was almost halved because of awarness and knowledge. Bush wants to take that away from us and the youth. How stupid can you be?!!
Ok, I need to stop now because I am appalled by all of this................... but I will write more later...

too much time on your hands
You know i could do the same thing for "the great John Kerry", but i have better things to do with my time. As you can see the people who support Kerry are always looking for gay shit like write a poem from the stuff he said. Get a life really

If this doesn't make me wanna vote Bush...
I'm going to have to give my props to Cory Dack on this one. I was looking on Alex Eichen's blog, cuz I remembered it from when he showed it to Kate and I. It's pretty interesting so I glance there every so often.
To the point, Cory had THIS on her profile, ENJOY:
This poem is composed entirely of actual quotes from George W. Bush. The quotes have been arranged for aesthetic presentation by Washington Post writer Richard Thompson.
MAKE THE PIE HIGHER By George W. Bush
I think we all agree, the past is over. This is still a dangerous world. It's a world of madmen and uncertainty and potential mental losses. Rarely is the question asked Is our children learning? Will the highways of the Internet become more few?How many hands have I shaked? They misunderestimate me. I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity. I know that the human being and the fish can coexist. Families is where our nation finds hope, whereour wings take dream. Put food on your family! Knock down the tollbooth! Vulcanize society! Make the pie higher! Make the pie higher!
