I have homosexual friends.

My kids have homosexual teachers.

On my street are many homosexual couples with children.

I am a lifelong Southerner.

I own guns.

I like country music, opera and Bruce Hornsby and the Range.

I love dry red wine. I also love beer. I also love single malt scotch.

I have a college degree from a very liberal urban school.

I prefer veal to hamburger, pork tenderloin to hot dogs.

I love the Waffle House.

I can do the New York Times crossword puzzle in fifteen minutes.

I understand derivatives.

I trade futures.

I am one of those stupid, ignorant Southerners who voted for Bush.

[tiki]

I'm intelligent enough to read research and understand both sides of the story and choose the correct candidate.

[walden]

I live in Texas and I am one of those ignorant, mouth-breathing, wing-nut Christians. I read the Bible, C.S. Lewis, Francis Schaeffer, Dietrich Bonhoffer, Teresa of Avila, Calvin Miller, Richard Foster, Dallas Willard, and others.

George W. Bush is a good man and a great leader. He shares my world-view, and understands that evil must be fought. He also understands that his faith is all about love. He is the right man for these times, the natural heir to Ronald Reagan. We are blessed as a nation to have him.

[sandpit]

I am a Cold War veteran.
I am intelligent, but lazy.
I only have a 2 year degree (laziness again).
I hate computers, but have made them my profession.
I love my cat, but the thought of having children terrifies me.
I spend most of my weekends playing darts and drinking tequila.
I am a 43 year old woman, happily unmarried, but domestic partnered (yes, with the opposite sex).
I voted for W because people like me need someone to keep them in line.
Helpful hint: If you don't like the red wine you've bought, either put in the refrigerator, or add water to it.
Expensives wines can still taste like crap.

[conservative cat]

I have an above average IQ; I live in Washington state; I am a technical writer and software tester; I simultaneously earned my high school diploma and associate's degree- with honors; I was once an ed. major; I am an awesome cook; I was married to a Teamster (who also voted for Bush); I have many friends of different races, cultures, and lifestyles; I have good friends who are homosexual; I lived in Europe for six years; I speak some French and some German; I love wine and am a beer snob, too; I love to travel.

I voted for Bush because I am pro-choice in respect to having sex and using birth control- after that, it's murder. I believe that he's best for our national security. I think political correctness will be the death of us. I am against gay marriage. I think raising the minimum wage lowers everyone else's wages in comparison. I think Kerry is an arrogant, elitist liar. I like my tax cuts. I like men who love their wives.

I live in the New South--the great & rapidly growning SouthWest

I am a college graduate.

I am self-employed.

I practice yoga meditation.

I serve my Temple.

I know homosexuals and get along fine with them.

Homosexuals don't concern as long as they don't have gay parades on my street and don't mess with my Institution of Marriage.

Liberals do concern me, and though it is a mental illness, I don't have compassion for them because they want to ruin my country.

Terrorists do concern me, and I like terrorists dead, stick a fork in them, thank you very much.

I don't want to have discourses with terrorists to understand why they don't like me or my country.

I have a bullet-dispensing machine in my home and know how to use it.

I would rather slit my wrists than vote for a DemonRat.

I live in AZ, am embarrassed by, and can't stand Sen. McLame and didn't want to slit my wrists so voted for the Libertarian as a protest vote.

I have the greatest love and respect for those who serve and have served in the military.

I donated to the Swifties to help them expose the Jon Fraud Kerry Traitor.

I voted for Dubya twice now and am proud he is the leader of the Free World.

My wife is Filipino, very conservative, loves this country, and as soon as she becomes a citizen, will be voting conservative.

I didn't vote for Bush to watch the Pointy-headed Libbies squirm, but I must admit it is great fun to watch.

[truth_seeker]

I'm not stupid, because I remember Iran hostage episode.

The UN did NOT solve it.

I hope the Democrats keep on calling people stupid, among other hateful things, because then more and more people like ALL of my family will VOTE BUSH and VOTE REPUBLICAN!

[walden]

Well, I hope for you a lovely and loving woman, and beautiful children. Life is very long, you know-- you've got time.

[Greenpees]

I'm a Bush Voter.

I grew up in a New England city, in a name-only Catholic family with much abuse and zero guidance. My own father was jailed for the abuse of us. My mother drank herself to death, God rest her troubled soul.

I remember, in better times when he would actually converse normally with myself and my siblings, that he would always speak highly of how the "democrats are for the working guys, the republicans for the rich".

But, being that he was always on welfare and almost never worked, I doubted he was either. And I knew I didn't want to be like him, from an early age.

Like many, I joined the military to escape. I stayed for 20 years and miss it every day. Nonetheless, I am very successful as an Operations Manager for a very upscale mutilevel shopping plaza in Califonia. Good $$ lots of work.

I am Pro life, I guess for me it goes to personal responsibility more than religeon. I believe an embryo is life and it doesn't deserve to be murdered because of another living beings careless sexual exploits. I understand the pitfalls of allowing govt tax money for embryonic stem cell research, and I believe marriage is only between a man and a woman. I know gay people, and have respect for some of them. I think they should get civil union status, but not marriage. I try to explain to them that matrimony is a sacrement...choose another word. (I know many of you may not agree that it is just semantics)

I am not as educated as I should be. I have an AA (Cum Laude)in Business Management, and am four classes from my Bachelors. I should finish. But, I'm busy.

In the Navy, I served in both Somalia and the Balkans..basically defending Muslims from certain death as one of BC's peacekeepers. I wore a blue helmet and UN armband. I despise the UN.

I believe that no matter how bad a lott one may have started with, they and only they can work their way out of it.

I own several apartment rentals, and I feel that high taxation is a burden that prevents me from realizing more, and providing more to others, in life.

I live in California. I see the poison of liberalism all aound me, everyday.

I belive in the Human spirit and that all people would rather be free, even Iraqis. I think they will succeed, and that Bush with be remembered as an historic President beyond even Ronald Reagan, whom I loved.

I have two children. Kerry would not be as agressive as Bush to defend them from terrorists. Of that, I'm certain.

I don't own a gun, but belive strogly that American's have that right. I give to the NRA.

This is my litany. But, for all the reasons that someone would support GW, I represent a small faction. I'm not particularly religeous, but I belive in God..In the basics.

I'm so glad he won.

[Red in Blue Maine]

You gotta give your cousins downeast in Acadian Maine a good talkin to, cause they speak French and they put that one electoral vote in the blue column.

[Clemenza]

I have an BA, MA and MBA (Fordham University and University of Chicago for those who keep track of such things).

I can match wines with any meal known to man. No, I will NEVER drink Gallo Port.

I am single, believe in God but am not very devout and have occassionally "known" some women in the recent past.

I have traveled throughout three continents and have friends throughout the world.

I wouldn't be caught dead in a Wal Mart, but admire said company for providing low cost goods at convenient hours for families throughout America.

[CaraM]

Why do you wear a kilt?

[Mr. Buzzcut]

I can program in whichever language you require, I understand how monetary policy works and I somehow manage to keep my cats content. ;)

[Mr. Buzzcut]

Some great stuff in here ... a reminder of why I love Freepers so much!

[fivekid]

Better MAN for the job.

Get it Got it Good! LOL

[backhoe]

The Reader's Digest Edition?:

It was very simple for me- here's how I explained it to the undecided:

• He says what he means.

• He means what he says.

• He tries to do it.

I can support a man I don't always agree with- I can't support a man I can't trust.

The Left doesn't "get it," and what's more and what's worse, from the articles I've read so far, they aren't even framing their questions correctly- so they will never get a right answer.
