My name is Mary Katherine, and I reside in the state of Ohio. I am a registered Republican. I grew up in a small town with very strict parents, attend church every Sunday, and have generally tried to live a good and decent life. I have been married for 15 years, have 3 children, and I am a stay at home mother. I am personally opposed to abortion, I believe in small government, and I cheered when welfare was overhauled. I am personally opposed to gay marriage, and I deeply believe this country needs to do more about the divorce rate in this country. My father was a steel worker who didn't miss a day of work in 35 years. My mother was a housewife. I still visit them regularly even though they live 5 hours away from me.
I think if you met me on the street or at the supermarket we would probably like each other.
However, everyone on this board hates my guts. I voted for John Kerry, so, therefore, according to you, I am a pig with no values.
I come here, desperately trying to understand why that is.
If you haven't stopped reading by now, maybe I could explain the reasons for my vote.
I am a fiscal conservative. I find W's reckless spending troubling.
I believe in religious freedom in this country. So therefore, just because I personally oppose abortion, how can I expect every American who does not share my faith to abide by that as well?
I believe in the Constitution. Therefore, even though I oppose gay marriage, if the constitution affords gay Americans certain rights, who am I to deny them?
Finally, I do not believe the war in Iraq was executed in the appropriate way. I do not support it in its current form.
So there it is. You all hate me for only one reason - the vote I placed on November 2nd. My only hope is that someday, somehow, you could all have a little less hate for those who don't share your beliefs. Thank you for reading this.
I think that he even wrote a children's novel, which one some sort of prestigious book award.

Now do you understand why I doubt your honesty?
It is a good read.
Yes, now I remember seeing a copy in my old high school library.
He is very polished writer, even though I'm not a huge jazz fan, so I've probably missed out on some of his better analysis.
I do know that he exchanged letters with Charles Mingus, when the bassist had himself voluntarily committed to a mental institution several decades ago.
But, but, but ...he had a plan. /sarcasm off
Yes, I feel disgust at your comments. Happy now?
Now you have bored Knutt. You will be held responsible for what happens next.
P.S. I don't hate you. I am simply extremely disappointed in anyone who has values such as those you described and could still vote for a gold-digging, flip-flopping, wealth-redistributing, U.N.-kowtowing useful idiot of the Communists.
But I don't hate you.
No, and I don't have any family members or friends that are rapists, murderers, drug dealers, etc. Does that make me hateful? I think not, it just means I associate with good people.
Your words, not mine.
Just because Kerry is a liar, fraud, and scumsucking degenerate, which you voted for, that shouldn't reflect *gag* on you *cough*, right?
Oh I can't keep this up..
You're an IDIOT!
A LOSER!
You are lacking in intelligence and your children are being abused by your example!
Your attempt to claim conservative status is a JOKE!
NO CONSERVATIVE WOULD VOTE FOR KERRY.
And that script is SO OLD AND OVERLY USED that it needs to be laid to rest for ten years before it can be a reborn virgin!
Have a nice day in Democrat Loserville!
Don't do anything rash. It'll get better when you get into the third grade.
He has a plan.
Reminds of the days out on the tree crew.

On top of everything else, poor math skills.
That goes to show you how long it has been since I used a pay phone :-)
