Vanity: [FR Poll] If it's Kerry vs Bush how will you vote?

2/7/2003 | FR

[yonif]

I thought because there is a poll on FR that says "If it's Kerry vs Bush how will you vote?" it would be good to start a thread on the matter for people to explain how they voted in the poll, if they choose to do so.

[TaxRelief]

Vote for Bush!
                         Vote early.
                                          Vote often.

[thrcanbonly1]

And I revel in that knowledge.Jealous? Naw, don't answer, you know you are. Tough break about your van, though .


Yep, its a bitch. I'll just have to drive one of my other 4 cars till I can get the EPA to release it.

[nopardons]

More damned Dem/lefty hyperbole!

One of my husband's oldest friends went into the National Guard and he was not rich or famous,nor was he or his family well connected.

OTOH,my husband, a white male, who was going to college but was also working, WAS DRAFTED! Something else that supposedly never ever happened, according to Libs/anti-war types.And so, he joined the Air Force, instead and was active duty for the CUBAN MISSLES CRISIS and the early part of Nam!

You imagine that you know so much. You actually only know DEM/LIBERAL PROPAGANDA, which you've swallowed as whole cloth and have regurgitated onto this thread.

And a vote is valid, once it is exerted.

OK, the person you vote for may not be elected...but that vote is certainly NOT wasted, if it is cast for the person, you validly believe to be your candidate of choice.

I'm not to interested in the motives of who joined the Guard or Reserves or how they got there, my point is... Who in the **** is John Kerry to talk about anyone's service to this country after his DISSERVICE once he came back from his 4 month's of service in Vietnam?

You can salute that loser all day and all night, I never will, I didn't serve in Vitnam but two in my family did and John Kerry and his Marxist friends like Jane Fonda shit on them both.

[GUIDO]

Answer: about the same as I feel when presedeste Fox cruises through the country as if he owns it and Bush. Who has Bush installed in the supreme court, anyway

No one because an appointee hasn't opened up yet, but I guarantee you there are those that will be deciding to step down real soon and I would rather Bush be the one to appoint than Kerry. Please we have to many liberal judges now because of clinton and he had 8yrs to do his bad appointments, let's give Bush 4 more years to get this done and now. And these states need to start electing conservative senators and congress critters to help finish this job, and they need to do it NOW.

[thrcanbonly1]

Let's say you're wrong - you would be the first to admit it - no?
Yes I would, and would also suffer the consequences of my decision.

Would you?

[Happygal]

Totally irrelevant, but what does your tagline mean?

I'm Irish, and a fluent Gaelic speaker.
It means, as Gaelige (in Irish)..'with every good wish'

[Dec31,1999]

I'm shocked! What is that thing about Jewish people voting for Democrats (Marxists)? I just don't get it. Please enlighten me. Thanks.

With all due respect, you would have been the LAST person on this earth, I would have thought, to be undecided between Bush and Kerry. What am I missing?

[Mo1]

First off, thanks for agreeing with me that immigration is, if not the number one issue with you, a critical issue.

Many of us agree there is a problem and it needs to be fixed

But it won't come any where close to being fixed if the Dems take control back .. in fact there will be a complete opposite .. the Dems have a history in that department

[AlbionGirl]

Could it or would it translate to the English phrase 'best wishes'?

In point of fact, the flow of illegals did slow immediately after 9/11 and stayed down for about nine months. Then they started climbing right back to pre-9/11 levels. Anyone can cross this border, not just Mexicans.

Ten years ago, the numbers were a tiny fraction of what they are now. In 1994, only 2,446 were apprehended here in the Naco Corridor. Then the Clintoon administration ran Operation Gate Keeper and Operation Hold the Line and forced the traffic away from San Diego and El Paso towards us.

I guess in the great political scheme of things it makes some sort of sick mathematical sense -- instead of pissing off a couple million urban dwellers, you just dump the problem on the small population out in the boonies and hope the problem is less visible.

We're talking about the upcoming PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION !

A Libertarian dog catcher, or a Constitution Party school board member doesn't cut it. No fringer is going to be elected president, or even a Senator, in your lifetime! The people of Minn. are still ashamed and sorry that Jesse Ventura was ever elected governor.You think that'll ever happen again,any time soon ? LOL

[zelig]

I'm voting for George W. Bush

[carpio]

I've no doubt that this is true, and that's why the drumbeat about President Bush's service keeps on keepin' on

Bingo!! And what stuns me is that the GOP would put the party in this position while all the old p&%$#ed off Vietnam Vets like myself are still out here.

I swear to God I am going to vote for Kerry just because he had the gonads to NOT buy his way out of service. Like he easily could have. The GOP has had every chance to run a Vietnam Vet. But somehow can't get themselves to do it. I think the country will survive a Kerry Presidency if my one vote puts him in office.

And the pleasure it will give me to vote for another Vietnam Vet is priceless.

[nopardons]

So that the politically deaf might hear me. :-)

[Happygal]

It's not quite the same as 'best wishes'

'Ghuí níos iontach'...might be a better translation for that. :-)

[Happygal]

So that the politically deaf might hear me. :-)

Or to force an opinion?

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

President Bush served his country, period.

The fact that he did not serve in Viet Nam does not make one bit of difference.

While some of us were there, the home land was being defended by those who strayed here. Their term of obligation was more than twice as long as ours. (6 years for most)

Your claim that only the rich elite were given guard duty makes me suspect the validity of your actual service. Because if you did serve then, you would have known that the rich merely sent their sons to College to get them deferments, or they sent them overseas to Europe and such to make them ineligible.

[labolarueda]

"Then you'll be de facto voting for Kesrry and are NO Conservative at all."

De facto?!

I'll cast a write-in vote and it will neither be Bush nor Kerry (never voted for a democrat and never will). The write-in candidate I have in mind is a true-and-tried conservative, Bush is not. But it's irrelevant where Bush stands on the political spectrum. Immigration is the number one issue with me and my family. Bush has failed us with this issue, ergo...

OTOH, if he reverses himself, he'll get my vote and 3-4 other votes at a minimum. I may even send in a small donation. But apparently Rove does not need my vote and countless others when he says we have nowhere to go.
