I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.

Yeah, that's true, Kerry looses in terms of "cult of the person" thingie, as neo-cons/reps simply love&adore their leader. There are few anti-Bush or even pro-Kerry people on this forum. Have you ever hear them praise Kerry so much, to such extent as you do? Admit it Darth Chaltab, you even said once that Bush is more handsome than Kerry! LOL I'll bet there will be a long line of butt-kissers standing outside White House if the Bush wins.

It's always the political activists who stirr the trouble - usually young, angry and naive.
QuoteWell, perhaps the under-voting-age kids that were involved in the polling decided to vote with their hearts because they don't think they have the proper knowledge.

This sounds almost like paranoia from the days of Cold War, when communist regime leaders had to be loved and whoever stated something else from what gov. said, was considered as enemy - just as now when opposing Bush Jr is called unpatriotic by his supporters and the officials. This whole debate taking place on this (and other forums) is pathetic, no matter how many facts and arguments anti-Bushists present to Bushist, the latter will always repeat the same song: "It's all Clinton's fault. Kerry is a jackass. Our Texan President is a Great Leader sent to us from Heaven. Let's nuke France". A flock of sheep.
There are (now-funny) names that were given to Stalin or Caucescu or Castro... they were to show the endless love and admiration people felt towards them. I can show you some links, you can just swap the names and use them in relation to your fav celeb - Dubya.

Please do excuse me if I'm wrong here, I might be, but it seems to me that americans are too hipocrite when they talk about politics. They yell out their extreme-hardcore-right or their centered-right position (there are no strong left-wing parties in america), and oh boy, they'll run over whoever disagrees! Michael Moore will ignore the guy who made "M.M. hates america" and deny any interviews as he was some sort of god; Bill O'Reily will avoid any confrontation, tell his oponents to shut up, and when they have a point against him, he'll cut their microphones out. Everyone has a position on this, sometimes unjustified: sometimes someone is a republican because he's family and fox news told him so, sometimes someone will be a democrat because the internet and liberal newspapers told him so. There are no real concearn on the issues, it's mostly allegorical: "oh, I'll vote for Kerry because he supports the medicare reform, I have NO idea what that means and I've not been to a hospital in years as I'm rich and can afford my own doctors, but I'll vote for him", or "I'll vote for Bush because he freed Iraq, I had NO IDEA what or where Iraq was before 9/11 and I don't understand the middle east politics, but he did one hell of a good job". And then, as the election comes, it's one big parade, one big joke. People don't care to vote, people don't care to know more about their candidates, they don't care if the voting system is horribly corrupt or insanely inefficient. It's one big TV reality show, and everyone is invited to be a part of it.
Of course, I don't mean ANYONE here. People here (except someone who has been banned recently) are political active and know what their saying. And if I offended anyone, well, I meant to offend republicans AND democrats equally.

You do make an excellent point Ric. A lot of people "blindly" support one side or the other without knowing all the facts.
I try to hear all the facts, I really do. I just feel that Bush's methods of doing things will have a better long-term outcome than what Kerry wants to do.
I see Bush trying to put more power in the hands of the people when it concerns our own lives.
(ex. Bush tax cuts let us spend more of our own money, Bush medical savings accounts helps supplement insurance costs)
I see Kerry trying to use the government to take control over our lives.
(ex. Kerry wants to have this massive governmental medical insurance program. He'll need money to pay for it, so he raises taxes. We have less control over what our money is used for, and less control over how we get medical help.)

And facts be known Bill O'rielly has only told people to shut up 6 times in the last 2 years, four of which were in jest. You ever actually listened to /watched his show or you just going with the internet flow? Cause i have listened to/watched his show many times, and i have seen none of this. Further more there are lots of very "liberal" people in america, and polaticians that they support.

This discussion reminds me of a question that has come to mind over several internet discussions. What type of new coverage do people in foreign nations get? I dont mean that in any deragatory way i am just curious. I also find it interesting how many foriegn cable companies wont carry fox news, but will carry al jazera...
