Kerry would have to go got to the right of Bush on ISSUES, not simply emphasize touchy-feely BS about traditional "values", to get votes of "people on the right".
I would NOT vote for Kerry under ANY circumstances!!!
Even though Kerry now SAYS he believes in, stands for and represents conservative values, he is a PROVEN, REPEATED LIAR!!!!!
I learned after the Perot--->Klinton Election, that if MY candidate for President does not win the PRIMARY, then it is MY fault because I FAILED to do MY job of ensuring that MY candidate won the PRIMARY.
Once the Republican NOMINEE is chosen, I need to support that nominee, and wait until the NEXT election PRIMARY to work to get MY choice for President (or whatever office) elected as the nominee and eventual elected official.
Even if the NOMINEE is not EVERY SINGLE THING I want in a nominee, he/she is at least closer to being on the right track than the LIBERALS and will NOT SET US BACK TWENTY or THIRTY YEARS if we abandon the Republican nominee.
BTW, not even President REAGAN---my all-time favorite President---was EVERYTHING I wanted! And no one will EVER be!
As a 2004 Bush Presidential Elector, I say VOTE BUSH!!!!!
You do YOUR part to vote for Bush/Cheney (actually for the Bush/Cheney Elector of YOUR U.S. Congressional District), and I will do mine and place one of 538 Electoral College votes for George W. Bush and Dick Cheney in December.
