How true.

Yes, but this is a trait common to all politicians. It would be nice for once to see one who would stand up clearly for a position on an issue.

I dont really like Kerry much from what I've heard of him so far, but I have decided to vote for him. (if i can get my absentee registration together....) I guess I regard him as the lesser of two evils, and feel pretty strongly that Bush has to go.

At this point I'm still deciding. I honestly don't see the political system as fair. It doesn't matter who I vote for, because they're all rich, and I'm not. Someone like me can't afford a $10 million+ campaign for a governer position or a presidency. The system is severely overbalanced towards the "elite" of society, which makes me not want to vote for Kerry or Bush and participate in a discriminatory election system.

But given a choice of one over the other, I would probably vote for Kerry just by a hair because I feel that domestic issues at the moment are starting to become more pressing than the middle east. Don't let yourselves get me wrong, foreign policy, especially in Iraq right now is very important, but we could use some improvement at home as well. Currently, we aren't receiving it.
