Ok, I'll bite.

Here's why I will not vote for Bush.

1. Federal government now involved with marriage counseling and distribution of tax dollars to so-called "faith based" organizations, ie, churches, mosques, synagogues, etc.

2. Horrific deficit spending, fiscal irresponsibility.

3. Corporate welfare. Halliburton is, I believe, just a drop in the bucket.

4. A war in a foreign county which, apparently, is now justified by the idea that we must impose our values on a foreign people. (PS: I did support the Afghanistan action.)

5. A belief that the American people need government big-brother protection more than they need the Bill of Rights and other constitutional guarantees. (We, the people, are not wimps.)

6. Will Kerry be good for our country? No. But the above is a liberal agenda, not a conservative agenda. So my last reason for not voting for Bush is this: the Republican Party needs to clean up its act and reexamine its commitment to small government, and allegience to the Consitution and the principles on which our country is based.

and all of those things will be better with Kerry huh? yep teach the bad GOPers a lesson. meanwhile our country and its constitution goes straight into the can. thanks comrade

First, thanks for the civilized answer.

Second, I agree with you, especially points 5 and 6. I just believe with all my heart we won't even be able to fix those problems with Kerry in office, and that they will just get worse. Under republicans I think we have much better chance of heading in the right direction this time around. I now believe that at this point the Democrats are more socialist than anything, and will work to limit the people's right to work for change in government.

You sound like a Liberaltarian to me.
