This is bound to ruffle the feathers of many people. Everyone's all about, "Vote for Kerry because he isn't Bush." I have yet to see any good reasons that Kerry would make a good president.

I won't vote for someone just to vote against someone else: to do so is a perversion of what I see as the spirit of what a democracy is. I need to have a reason to vote *for* someone; not having a good chance to win is poor reason to -not- vote for someone. I could just as easily vote for the Libertarian or Green candidate-- is that just as bad? Our political system is built around *choice*. You can choose to vote for whomever for whatever reason-- but don't denigrate me for exercising my right to choose.

Two further things: the election is almost half a year away and a lot can happen between now and then. Second, I never reveal whom I voted for. I've voted in every single election since I could vote and I vote for the people I believe in. That's more than a lot of people can say.

Marx-ism?

Kerry is quoted as saying, in answer to a question by Nader on energy policy, "Wait and see when I become president."

Heh, that sounds a lot like Grouch Marx as Rufus T. Firefly in "Duck Soup"...

He didn't know what to do with it
If you think this country's bad enough now
Just wait 'til I get through with it!

Drop me a note off LJ if you can, I try to keep my political viewpoints away from this forum as much as possible, bud I'd like to give you my thoughts on this matter privately. That is, if you don't mind.
