Rootus said:His morals? On what basis is there any argument that he has more (or less) moral integrity than John Kerry?
1) Tratorous acts durring the vietnam war. (to call them anything less is ludicris)
2) Stating that he believes life begins at conception yet still voting in favor of legalized child murder (abortion).
3) Voting in favor of the invasion of Iraq, then against funding the invasion, then using the invasion and it's lack of funding to attack President Bush.
Those are the highlights, in my book those 3 points are enough to disqualify someone as having sufficiant moral integrity to lead this country.
Rootus said:Oddly enough, the only people on the entire planet that believe Bush to posess high moral standards are about half of this country. The other half, along with the vast majority of the free world, believe just the opposite.
You are entitled to your oppinion, which is all this statement boils down to. Stating opinion as facts does not magically make them facts. You're smart enough to know this.
Rootus said:What seems to me to be the paramount emotion felt today by Americans is fear. For those who oppose Bush and his policies, the fear is primarily of him. For those who support Bush, the fear is from terrorism and Saddam.
(and I'm pretty close to you in age, Eric, so no using that as an argument against me ).

I didn't vote for bush out of fear in the slightest, and I think charactorizing the average bush voter as a scared redneck sheep ****er is very very closed minded. I voted against Kerry (actually the democratic party in general) more than anything in truth. I'm very against socialism, which is basically the direction that the democratic party wants to see the country move. Socialism/comunism has been shown time and again to work great on paper and very very poorly in action. I believe people are inherently greedy and lazy, these two facts of life will prevent large scale socialism from ever being effective. You can call it a pesimistic attitude if you like but I see it as realism, compared to the Idealism of the democratic party.
This is the mentality of the average republican in my experiance, and is much closer to the mentality of a vast many people who vote democrat than they will ever admit. You can see this in the makeup of the current legislature.
