You can try to play the easy game of "I'm not on either side"... but no one likes a fence-sitter. Of course I admit that Bush wasn't cast by the gods out of solid gold, but as far as what I need in a president and what I feel the country needs in a president, this man is the closest we have to fitting that bill. And because the Republican party says outright that they don't require everyone to fall 100% in line like sheep, I can be proud to BE a Republican and still disagree with some of their core principles (like gay marriage, as an example).

Personally, I wouldn't want to ever be in combat, even though I love this country and am proud to be a citizen of it. I don't see it fit to fault someone for preferring to try and stay out of harm's way... especially in a such a horrible conflict such as Vietnam. Likewise I have a huge amount of respect and admiration for the ones who DID go out there and defend my right to my opinion, my right to vote, all the rights I have as an American citizen.

But overall, leading an entire country, especially one with such a large influence over the world... to command an army as large as this one, requires more than 4 months, part of which was commanding a boat. Perhaps it does require one of the toughest MBA's in the country(world?) to get, the Harvard Masters in Business Administration. Commanding one of the highest, if not the highest position in the world requires more than 4 months in a boat... I need more than that. And what little I have heard of Kerry's stance doesn't reflect the ability to do what's best for everyone in the country. I can't hardly even get anyone to tell me why anyone should vote for Kerry without mentioning what they believe Bush has done wrong or isn't doing correctly in their opinions. One votes FOR a candidate, not AGAINST one.

Furthermore, there is a difference between letting terrorism succeed, and being aware of the possibility of attacks. I do not get afraid when I enter a tall building or drive over a busy bridge. I do not watch the skies for low-flying airplanes. But I am conscious of the possibility of an attack and I understand why our president has to make tough decisions to get evil regimes out of power and spread liberty and democracy around the world. America didn't get where it is on pure luck. Our forefathers came up with a great system for our government. It's difficult to deny that, though asinine bills like the McCain-Feingold fair elections bullshit are certainly chinks in the armor.


I'm the bawss.
