Jocelyn, just to be sure that you and everyone else sees this, I am making your comment to my last entry and my response to your comment a collective new entry

"...never did I say that a nonbias website would be wrong."
Then I apologize for misunderstanding your previous statement, "Also, you can't really believe the stats they throw out there themselves or by their staff. All the stats are corrupted to make them sound like the better person. They lie!" That sounded like you thought the website was a democratically biased ally for Kerry.
"Also you have to understand that college tuition would have gone up no matter who was president."
Yes, college tuition is going to go up no matter what, but we have seen a 12.5% increase in the past year. That is an insane leap, and a direct result of the current economic disaster created by Bush. What's more is there's nothing stopping it from continuing to climb at that rate or higher, and Bush has no plan whatsoever to fix the economy or help America climb out of the $7.384 trillion deficit.

"The facts are that no matter what class your in taxes are going up."
That is untrue. When Bush took office, he created tax breaks for the wealthiest 1% of America, and created a heavier tax burdon on the rest of us. My family's combined income is well below the official poverty level of $21,000 per year, and yet I have seen upwards of $100 in federal taxes taken out of a single paycheck. On average, 19% of my pay goes to taxes. As a college student, I simply can't afford that. Kerry's economic plan would have created a $4000 tax break for college students. That $4000 a year would cancel out my student loans so that I wouldn't graduate in $20,000 of debt. Not to mention his plan to increase the pell grant, which would have put me in a financially secure standing through college.
There are no Bush positives. The rest of the world has grown to hate us. The most recent Osama bin Laden tape even stated that there would be another attack on America if Bush won the election. Newspapers and magazines all over Europe display the headlines, "Could 59 million people really be that stupid?" We have almost no allies because Bush abandoned the United Nations and did not get their permission to go into Iraq, which he should have.
So really, it's not that our country is going to hell no matter what. Bush is sending it to hell, and we could have gotten out of this handbasket by electing Kerry. Really, just by electing anyone other than Bush.
So, am I going to vote for you if you ever run for president? Not if what you think Bush is doing is ok. Not if you believe he has done any good for this country or served us well. He hasn't, and never in my life do I want to see another president like him.
