Between Bush anf Gore I did vote for Gore only because he was, in my opinion, the lesser of the two evils. But again also Al Gore is an IDIOT, go get his college transcripts, a dumbass,a rich, third generation money jackass, ditto for Bush. Between Bush and Kerry they are both equal evils, so i won't vote.

For those who compares Clinton and Kerry as if they were similar, I disagree. There are a few defining differences between Clinton and Kerry. First, Clinton is way smarter, he wasn't and isn't an idealoque and had the brains to surround himself with top notch people. Kerry is more analgous to Hillary, who, if ever elected, will be a disaster.
I actually could make a case that a split Dem/Rep president/Congress would be good in that they would so dispise one another that nothing, including run away spending, would get done, that is what we are left with, the hope of completely ineffectual sorts running things. Is basic competency too much to ask?

I read two weeks ago that the Dept of Education budget is $55BB, can you believe that.I need to look up how many K-12 kids there are in this country but I bet it works out to about $1K per kid, now, just what in Sam hell does the DOE do for $55BB.

I'd like to see the US Defense spending as a % of total GLOBAL defense spending. It is time for the country with 5% of the worlds population to stop spending what I bet is something like 30-50% of the Worlds defense budget. I'm officially getting worked up now so I'm gonna go PERTURBATE to relax lol.

My voting record:
1980-1984: Reagan
1988: Bush
1992-1996: Clinton
2000: Gore
2004: NO ONE

  never voted here , i agree with the lesser of the 2 evils. i plan on voting for kerry to get that dumbshit outta the office , not to get kerry in ! him and his corrupt cronies have got to go. i cant imagine kerry or any1 else screwing up as bad as jr.

Work to convince other people that your viewpoints are correct.  Never think that not voting accomplishes anything, because it does not.  Regardless of the cynicism that modern politics breed, the conerstone of a democracy is the right to vote, protect that right, even when you are disprited by the trend of current events.

END OF MESSAGE

I disagree.  Kerry is not the mediocrity that Bush is.  In the 60s & 70s, the man had some fire, took wounds and fought hand-to-hand in Vietnam.  Then, he protested against the war.  More than Clinton did.  He's not had much fire or spirit, nor any good ideas, for a long time, but at least there's something in him that can be revived.  Furthermore, if he's fallen into a slump, at least his people are more likely to listen me and my concerns, and the concerns of people who post to this board.  Bush's people will show us the door, or even the jail cell when they notice us at all.

Bush, by contrast to Kerry, never did anything, never accomplished anything.  The apex of his accomplishments was finding JEEZUS and sobering up.  Meanwhile, his family coattails kept him employed and finally put him into the White House, and even Bush's ardent supporters in the Christian Right voted for him praying that God would make him a pleasant surprise. Since that was their prayer, they now have to pretend that God made Bush a great leader.  In fact, he has been a disaster. And he's shown no hope of learning from mistakes.  

If we can't impeach him, we've got to vote him out of office on general principle: for what he's committed in Iraq, for our soldiers he has sent to slaughter, for his faith based initiatives to transfer wealth to Christian churches, for his shifting the tax burden away from the wealthy, for his incompetent handling of the economy, for his alienating our country from allies... this list can go on. Don't stay home from the polls just because Kerry is the alternative. It's far better to replace disaster with mediocrity.  

Vote your interests, at least. Defend yourself. Do you know who's been kept real quiet recently, been keeping a very low profile so the uninhibited like us won't go to the polls?  John Asscrossed.  What do you think he'll like to do to hobbying and the TER if this administration is actually elected?  Look at how brazen they were when they weren't elected.  Democrats may not be our friends, not just yet, but at least they're not our objective enemies.

I will be offering 10% discount during the fall election for registered Democrats. Must bring voter registration.

My SAT = 990  (missed half my high school days sleeping in and pretended sick; the other half I came in late just before lunch)

My LSAT = 170

Case closed!!

And what were your SATs.  Bush's were 1200, back when that score meant something.

Unless yours were higher (doubtful, from the quality of your post), you can shitcan the "dumbshit" rhetoric.

And BTW, mine were well over 1200.

I am not complaning. American's they think solutions to problems just happen and look to everyone else but themselves to find that solution. It is the NATURE of the politician to be an idiot, their mediocrity is their biggest asset and you think THEY will come up with a solution to anything what a joke

Regardless of whether a politician is liberal or conservative running for public office is an honorable endeavor.  It is easy enough to redicule politicians, and honestly some by their actions deserve ridicule.  But society works because the overwhelming majority of politicians from the lowest elected office to higher offices, spend a good part of their waking hours each day trying to figure out how they can make the things that us non-politicians take for granted work for us.  Why don't you convince city hall in your city to turn off all the traffic lights for one day and order the police to do anything else except traffic detail, this would be a pure manifestation of where you seem to want society to head, please let me know how it works out.

I'm sorry but you've got to be joking.   You think any high level politicians sit around wondering how to make the country a better place - their only care is how to stay in office.  

Shit if trees could vote Bush et al would be hungin red woods and tossin seeds (and not just eachothers salads) every damn day.

 The great majority of politicians are true public servants.  If you will re-read my post you will see that I excluded the offices at the highest level, not because of any political bias but because I am not thrilled by the sometimes shrill responses that even well reasoned opposition invokes.  Every politician should work their way up from an office such as city commissioner, or county commissioner, or state representative before standing for a higher office such as governor.  Work in the lower elected offices gives the office holder the emotional and philosophical seasoning that comes from stairing sometimes intractable opposition in the face and working through compromises that keep government moving.
