You would think it would be easy... I'm pro abortion, anti death penalty, pro affermitive action, anti deregulation.... In short John Kerry is the ideal candidate for me, and I am the typical John Kerry Democrat.
But.... Something is holding me back. Is it the way he throws a baseball? No. His war record? Hardly. I am throughly convinced that Bush and his posse of right wing neocons are the worst thing that's ever happened to America, both internationally and domestically...I believe Bush will continue his imperialistic adventures in the Middle East while he works to oppress us, the American citizens, and deteroriates our civil rights.
In spite of all this- my belief in the evilness of right wing extremism- I will be voting for President Bush for another four years. And I will vote for every Republican on my ballot- I want them to continue to control all three branches of our Government for another four years. .. because, although I know just how barbaric conservatism is, many in America don't believe it is quite the threat the rest of the world views this administration...and by keeping them in office their policies will fail and they won't be able to blame it on the Dems.
Maybe another four years of our civil rights being violated and Bush starting wars based upon what God tells him to do- maybe more anti homosexual constitutional amendments, maybe more detainees held indefinately without trial- maybe four more years of the Conservatives selling out the common man, sending our jobs overseas-
Then maybe we can bury Conservatism in the last millenium right next to Fascism and Slavery.
Vote Bush. You deserve it.
