voting record

Somebody said Bush has a voting record a mile long. Show it to me.

How asanine is the thought that Kerry wouldn't make a good commander-in-chief? What reasons did you ever have for thinking Bush would?

Why does everyone think it is unamerican to not like Bush? Believe me I'm as American as it gets and I won't vote for Bush in November. I wish people would stop making such inflammatory questions about one's patriotism. It's just petty name calling.

Yes, I believe in doing something about the terrorist. But tell me, do you really feel any safer because of the war in Iraq? On one hand we are being told we are safer and then on the other we are being told that an attack of greater than 9/11 magnitude is not only possible but probable. And you really feel safer or that the Iraq war has helped? Please! Think outside the box.

...

i think i feel much safer knowing that i have a president who has the softballs to fight terrorism in other countries, in all forms, before it leads to another 9/11... before something else happens to remind people of the threats out there just waiting for opportunity...

I was not thrilled at all, like those at the Dem. convention, when Kerry took pride in saying that he would only go to war if he was pushed into it... not until then.. ya know in this day and age i would rather have a more proactive leader... not somebody who wont act until he HAS to... until he HAS to respond to something more tragic than we have already seen.

That isnt leadership. Especially in today's world. So my vote, even if its just one teeny weeny vote, is going to W.... (and not W for the Waffle Kerry)

I think

I think it will be a long time before anyone feels safe. After something like 9/11, you can't just feel safe because something happens. When people are terrorized by stalkers, kidnappers etc. even after the offender is incarcerated or dead they still don't feel terribly safe.
I feel better knowing that the Taliban is gone. They supported Al Quada. I am glad Saddam is gone, if for no other reason than humanitarian issues. I think the world is safer that Lybia gave up it's hidden nuclear program. I think other nations in the region have been put on notice. We have already replaced 2 governments, including one backed by one of the world's largest armies. It can happen to you.
I don't think people who don't support Bush are unamerican. I think that there are a lot of Dems out there who have a difficult time thinking outside the box. "Bush was in office during 9/11, his policies are responsible." "The intelligence about Iraq was faulty, so Bush lied" Gimme a break. Russian, French, German intelligence said Saddam had WMD's. It was a universal belief. Just a few of the huge issues that the anti-Bush is way off base about.
I'm sure Kerry wants what is best for the nation. It is up to the voters to decide if HE is best for the nation. G

let me clafiy voting records.

Bush does not vote. He proposes legislation, and thus one can infer from these actions as president, his record.
Kerry has a long voting record. He is trying to hide it, but it's there

and thinking outside the box, doesn't include voting for a man that wants to regain the respect of France, and Kofi Annan and wants the world the "like" the US, in the way that al-quaeda now "likes" Spain

and we are safer for getting rid of saddam.
For starters N Korea and Libya are standing down. Iran will be next
Syria knows we mean business.

Nobody ever was made safe by showing weakness, and Bush projects strength

IMO, people like Sean Penn and Michael Moore ARE unamerican. I think they should be tried for treason for giving aid and comfort to the enemy. They are little better than Jihnad Johnny Walker-Lindh

People like Mike Farrell, and many other anti-war activists make their arguments in such as a way as to not give aid and comfort, and are thus not Un-American.

man, don't you see it! 9/11 was televised to death all over the world for weeks. the world stood back and watched, "what are the americans going to do?" thank goodness we had a president who did his job, to PROTECT us! one of the greatest accomplishments, in my opinion of bush, is what hasn't happened since 9/11. i'm grateful that i have some confidence when i wake up each morning that another huge attack HASN'T happened.

when i saw sadam, this rich and powerful man who killed and tortured many of his own people, hiding in a hole, it gave me great satisfaction knowing that people like him (i.e. usama bin laden), are doing the same thing. he's in some hole hiding. and that's where he'll stay until he's either dead or we get him. and i have george w bush to thank for that.

i don't agree with how he spends... i almost consider him a moderate, not a conservative. but he's the best we've got. i'm glad his agenda doesn't already have 77 new gov't programs lined up to help change our lives. the next gov't program should be this... to see how many gov't programs we can cut or minimize.

What a shame you're married. Got a sister?
You know, I've been asked that so many times on these forums that I'm getting flattered

Smart people vote for Bush because they understand the issues.

I can not believe any medical doctor would vote for Kerry, if they do then they need a Psych evaluation.

Health care was destroyed by the Clintons and if Kerry is elected things will go from bad to worse.

Some states already do not have Ob/gyn doctors because the malpractice insurance is too high, related to people like Edwards.

My reasoning for Bush is that he has the gumption to actually stay on task and SHOWS UP FOR WORK. Kerry has failed to show up for 80% of the votes during his term. Even before this election thing came up. If I went to my boss who hired me to vote on a committee where I represented so many people and said "listen man I'm not gonna be here I'm running for a promotion but you're still going to pay me and pretend I'm still doing what you hired me for" I WOULD GET FIRED! The issue he and Edwards were talking about like gay marriage THEY WERE NOT THERE TO VOTE FOR!!!

Fine don't vote for Bush, vote for another party that only exists to take votes away from the dems. Kerry stands for every stigma that people around the world have always had against Americans - hypocricy, materialistic, stupid minded.... wait for the wind to blow the other way and Kerry will change what he has to say yet again. I mean I could understand if he felt a certain way 15 years ago and recently changed, but not changing his mind every few months on critial things like war. At least Clinton had a definite plan for the economy. He spelled it out. All Kerry has done is say "I don't like GWB. I don't like his underpants. I will never wear those underpants" well fine but WHAR UNDERPANTS ARE YOU GOING TO WEAR AND WHY SO THAT PEOPLE WILL SEE THE LOGIC IN VOTIG FOR YOU????

If you had family that IS Iraqi (like ME) then you would know all about the horrors of Iraq and how Saddam would help anyone to kill us ALL for sake of his twisted pride. The key to killing the queen fire ant in a mound is to destroy all the places that she will be hidden. She is hidden so that she will procreate more fire ants to bite and try to kill you as you seek her out. This is how we must deal with Osama.

If you watch CNN, NBC, CBS, and ABC then you will only hear of how horrible everything is everywhere so long as a Republican is in office. Notice how something as important to the country's security being left to a numbskull white Clinton was zipping up his pants in front of the media... but even to this day the fact those files were taken so the Dems would not look bad is broadcasted as "oh so what it's not a big deal" but BUSH SAT FOR 7 MINUTES OH NOOOOOOO!!!


Oh and let's not forget MM who is dubbed as american-patriot. His movie is the only one in history of war movies that was the first to bash everything about the war instead of promoting a sense of security. From WW1 WW2 Vietnam and so on the first movie made about them inspired hope and meaning, not a sense of dread and dispair. For some rich boy that never served in the millitary...trying to convince everyone that their adult children were stolen in the middle of the night to serve in this war instead of the fact that they are adults signing up for service. Such a grip on reality...
