kerry. why?
- he is not bush.
- he supports a womans right to choose, among other rights for women.
- he does not support gay marriage, but supports civil unions, giving gay couples the same rights as straight couples. he believes that the tradition of "marriage" is more of a religious based tradition (in all religions, not just christianity), which does make sense. i, personally, still feel that gay couples should be able to get married and use the term "marriage," but i think kerry has his head on straight. you have to realize that he has a lot of people to please, pro and anti gay marriage.
- he uses complete sentences and proper grammar. dear god, that is refreshing.
_ i believe that his history in vietnam is very important. many people do not realize that he was in a division of the navy that put him inside enemy lines. he had to kill a man to save his life, among the lives of his fellow soldiers. taking a life for a reason he felt was not just is what made him so opposed to the war. he was opposed to the "kill or get killed," mantra.
- the previous shows that he is not a war monger (unlike the current) and will only go into war as a last result and actually go after the right people.
- his decisions are not religiously based. i feel that the current president makes many of his decisions based on his own religious beliefs, which alienates many people, including myself.
- he was in a band in college and played the bass. not very politically significant, but awesome nonetheless.

i knew more than i thought i did! sorry for writing you a P.I.G paper, but yay for being educated, and yay for me voting tomorrow!!!!!!

i can't vote, either.
i'm missing it by six months.
a couple of my friends are 18, though.
and they all voted kerry. :D

but you see, you're lucky. florida is ALWAYS a swing state. new york is ALWAYS democratic, so even though new yorker's votes count, it's not as much as you silly floridians.
