To Bush Supporters...

[thepoetinmyhear]

I tend to agree with nearly everything Nancy said. Just so she has a little back up I will also respond to some responses to her post (hope you don't mind). First let me state that I actually favored neither candidate and chose to write in a certain ex Arizona Senator. I know it made no difference, but there you go.

I agree that there are not enough programs to support the poor and underprivaledged in this country. However, Kerry's principle solution to this problem is to raise taxes (and not just for the rich, granted a majority of the times he supported tax hikes were for cigarettes or other specific item taxes, his support to income tax hikes were universal). Given that record I would have to favor Bush for his "individualism" approach. We do need more support programs but it isn't the place of the goverment to take more money from us.

I know that bit rambles, I'll edit later.

I know little about partial birth abortions so if someone could tell me an example when they are absolutely necessary and would still be banned by the proposed bill I would very much like to hear it. This is not meant to be as much of a "I dare you to back your statement up." I am legitimately ignorant on this subject.

On the terrorist matter, this is where Kerry being portrayed as a flip flop hurt him the most. It seems many people feel it is important to have a strong stance against terrorist even to the extent of committing the wrong act to ensure safety. Not something I agree with 100% but it does seem better than someone who would spend months trying to decide what to do and ultimately letting the moment pass him by (letting a terrorist get away with it).

Death penalty I commented on in this forum before.

Additionally it is lucky for us that Bush does not SET POLICY. That is not his job. He can support bills and encourage support for certain bills, but he DOES NOT set policy.

Also as unfair as it is to group kerry supporters into one group it is also unfair to group anybody into one thing conservative right, christians, homosexuals, heterosexuals. Blanket statements ALWAYS have expceptions no matter which side is making the statement.
