This is the third poll you have made and have yet to create an "other" option. Tsk Tsk.

I'd never vote for a sissy rainbow monkey.

And besides, I'd never vote for a sissy rainbow monkey.

Look, just come back to the UK. We'd let you have your own Assembly and everything, really. Plus, just the name "Kingdom" is cool. You could have knights and stuff.

Well what i think is that other countries are afraid of Bush since he pretty much doesn't care about the UN anymore, and are too afraid to attack us for fear of being destroyed, so I'd like to see Bush in for another term

Who in there right mind supports abortion and gay marriages. THINK. Abortion is killing, which was wrong the last time I checked, and marriage is strictly defined to being of a man and a woman. Voting Democratic= Voting for high taxes= Voting for bad economy= Voting for abortion= Voting for gay marriages= Voting wrong. Vote Bush!!!

Do we really want that idiot named John Kerry (shudders at the name) to be our 44th president? First of all, there will be a big tax increase. Tax increase= Less money for people= Less spending= Worse economy. If you think the economy is bad now, it will be even worse when/if Kerry takes office.

Bush's plans are helping stop terrorism, a major plus!

As Tuesday night's questions turned to the 9/11 investigation, Bush retreated again to the incontrovertible truths in his head. "There was nobody in our government, at least, and I don't think [in] the prior government, that could envision flying airplanes into buildings on such a massive scale," he told NBC's David Gregory. Never mind that somebody who had worked in Bush's administration and the prior administration—namely, counterterrorism coordinator Richard Clarke—had raised precisely this concern about the 1996 Olympics. Never mind that the president's daily intelligence brief on Aug. 6, 2001—titled "Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in U.S."—had warned Bush, "FBI information since [1998] indicates patterns of suspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations for hijackings or other types of attacks, including recent surveillance of federal buildings in New York." These were external phenomena and therefore irrelevant. What mattered was that Bush couldn't "envision" the scenario.

marriage is strictly defined to being of a man and a woman.

HOW CAN YOU PEOPLE NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH A MAN MARRYING ANOTHER MAN OR A WOMAN MARRYING ANOTHER WOMAN?

IT IS JUST PLAIN WRONG!

I CERTAINLY DO NOT WANT TO OPEN UP THE NEWSPAPER TO THE WEDDINGS AND SEE TWO GUYS HUGGIN' AND KISSING EACH OTHER! THAT JUST LOOKS SICK.

mar-riage (mar'ij) n. The state of being married; wedlock; the act of marrying or the ceremony entered by a man and a woman so as to live together as husband and wife. marriageability n. marriageable adj.

Kerry has voted for at least SEVEN major reductions in Defense and Military spending, necessary for our national security:


1) In 1996 - Introduced Bill to slash Defense Department Funding by $6.5 Billion.


2) In 1995 - Voted to freeze Defense spending for 7 years, slashing over $34 billion from Defense.


3) Fiscal 1996 Budget Resolution - Defense Freeze. "Harkin, D-Iowa, amendment to freeze defense spending for the next seven years and transfer the $34.8 billion in savings to education and job training."

4) In 1993 - Introduced plan to cut numerous Defense programs, including:

Cut the number of Navy submarines and their crews
Reduce the number of light infantry units in the Army down to one
Reduce tactical fighter wings in the Air Force
Terminate the Navy's coastal mine-hunting ship program
Force the retirement of no less than 60,000 members of the Armed Forces in one year.

5) Has voted repeatedly to cut Defense spending, including:

In 1993, voted against increased Defense spending for Military Pay Raise. Kerry voted to kill an increase in military pay over five years.

In 1992, voted to cut $6 billion from Defense.

In 1991, voted to slash over $3 Billion from Defense. Shift money to social programs.

In 1991, voted to cut defense spending by 2%

Voted repeatedly to cut or eliminate funding for B-2 Stealth Bomber

Voted repeatedly against Missile Defense - Weapons Kerry sought to phase out were VITAL in Iraq. "[K]erry supported cancellation of a host of weapons systems that have become the basis of US military might-the high-tech munitions and delivery systems on display to the world as they leveled the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein in a matter of weeks." (Brian C. Mooney, "Taking One Prize, Then A Bigger One," The Boston Globe, 6/19/03)


Military hardware he felt we no longer need since the "cold war" is past. The money would be better spent on "social" programs. These weapons are now the core of our military might.

F-16 Fighting Falcons.
B-1Bs B-2As F-15 And F-16s
M1 Abrams
Patriot Missile
AH-64 Apache Helicopter
Tomahawk Cruise Missile
Aegis Air-Defense Cruiser

6) During 1980s Kerry And Michael Dukakis joined forces with liberal group dedicated to slashing Defense. Kerry sat on the board of "Jobs With Peace Campaign," which sought to "develop public support for cutting the defense budget..."("Pentagon Demonstrators Call For Home-Building, Not Bombs," The Associated Press, 6/3/88)


7) While running for Congress in 1972, Kerry promised to cut Defense Spending. "On what he'll do if he's elected to Congress," Kerry said he would 'bring a different kind of message to the president." He said he would, "Vote against military appropriations." ("Candidate's For Congress Capture Campus In Andover," Lawrence [MA] Eagle-Tribune, 4/21/72)


"So you can look at all the potential threats of the world, and when you add the expenditures of all of our allies to the United States of America, you have to stop and say to yourself, 'What is it that we are really preparing for in a post-cold-war world?'"
(Sen. John Kerry, Congressional Record, 5/15/96, p. S5061)

A marriage is for a woman and a man, and a civil union can be for two people of the same gender. They can have the same benefits, etc. It is all fine with me.

The Vermont legislature passed a bill which created the concept of a civil union -- a marital state like marriage, but without the more than 1,000 federal government benefits that are automatically given to married couples.

Actually that isn't true.

How can my opinion not be true? It is mine, and mine only.

I think ( can't recall, sorry ) a certain state has made gay marriage completely legal.

OUR 44TH PRESIDENT NEED NOT BE A DEFENSE SLASHER!!! VOTE BUSH INSTEAD!

And our 43rd President need not be a small-minded, belligerent moron. But he is.

"America cannot afford four more years of a president who is the first to lose jobs since Herbert Hoover in the Great Depression," Kerry said at a rally in Detroit where he unveiled a sweeping plan to restructure corporate taxes. The plan would eliminate a feature of the tax code that offers favored treatment for large multinationals that expand overseas, allowing their overseas profits to be taxed at foreign rates that are typically far lower than U.S. levels.

Altman, a senior economic advisor to the Kerry campaign, said Friday’s speech was the first of at least three laying out the central planks of a program to restore economic competitiveness and create jobs. He said the promise of 10 million jobs over four years was reasonable, noting that the economy created more than 11.5 million jobs in the first four years of the Clinton administration.

(June 2003) And while the numbers of job seekers keeps growing, the economy continued shedding jobs in May. A net 17,000 jobs were lost, according to the BLS. That included 53,000 manufacturing jobs, bringing to 2.6 million the manufacturing jobs lost since July 2000. The private sector now has lost a total of 3.1 million jobs since February 2001, shortly after President George W. Bush took office. That adds up to a bigger job loss than in any other recession since World War II, according to the Economic Policy Institute.

A net 2.6 million private-sector jobs—68,000 each month—have been lost since President George W. Bush took office. By March 2004, 8.4 million were officially jobless—but experts estimate the total number of unemployed and underemployed is more than 14 million.
