If I would not vote for Jane, why would I now vote for John? PS: I'll admit that my veteran status does make me a little biased. :thumb:
You would vote for Kerry if: 1) You are in favor of a "sensitive" war on terror. Pastels are back in this fall and I think Bin Laden would look stunning in fucia or mauve. 2) You are in favor of gay marriage between the President and Vice President. Can 2 men be much closer? 3) You want a SUPER BITCH as the first lady. She'll tell Mrs. Putin to go f*ck off in a hearbeat. 4) You believe wholeheartedly that the UN is a viable and effective vehicle for resolving the world's problems.
you could vote for kerry if you dont have the slightest understanding of economics and believe the minimum wage should be raised. or you could vote for kerry if you care more about being sanctimonious than equality and favor affirmative action. thats just a couple reasons.

Bush has spent more than 40% of his presidency on vacation. Bush reminds us of that schoolhouse bully that needs to be taught a lesson. Only 5% (fewer than 140) of the 2,300 promised Iraqi construction projects are under way. Those new jobs are low wage jobs. Iraq is worse off now than before the war began. Because vice president Potty Mouth aka Cheney used the "F" word towards respected Senator Patrick Leahy. Haliburton saddles a family of retired New York City firefighter killed in Iraq, while working for Halliburton, with his funeral costs. Rebuffing Bush administration claims, the independent commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks NO evidence exists that al-Qaida had strong ties to Saddam Hussein.

A group of 26 former U.S. diplomats and senior military officers, including several republicans, say that Bush and his team should be voted out. Al Gore thinks Bush is a menace to America.

Over 5,804 wounded U.S. troops since the the start of the Iraq war. Countless U.S. troops "radiation poisoned" with depleted uranium since the the start of the Iraq war. Do to his irresponsible use of our brave armed forces, our 18 year old sons and daughters may face a draft. Iraq had nothing to do with Sept. 11, 2001. To this day, the Bush administration has yet to launch a federal investigation into the deadly Anthrax attacks in which 5 people were killed and 17 severely sickened. According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, a nonpartisan coalition of more than 60 of the world's top scientists and Nobel Laureates, "no other president in history has so openly misled the public or been so flagrantly disrespectful of scientific fact and mountains of irrefutable research, deliberately and systematically mutilating scientific data in the service of its rather brutal, pro-corporate, anti-environmental agenda." Harbors dangerous "apocalyptic" thinkers as policy makers in his administration.

America deserves better. To show some respect to Dennis Kucinich and his supporters. We deserve a President who can communicate. Although Bush should be removed from office by impeachment, the Republican run congress probably won't, therefore we must VOTE BUSH OUT! According to CBS News, Attorney General John Ashcroft's latest terror bulletin was an over-hyped political diversion. Wall Street Journal contributing editor Mark Helprin called Abu Ghraib "a symbol of the inescapable fact that the war has been run incompetently, with an apparently deliberate contempt for history, strategy, and thought." According to Amnesty International’s 2004 report, The Bush administration’s so-called 'war on terror' is "bankrupt of vision and bereft of principle". Even Richard Perle, until recently a powerful adviser to U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, described U.S. policy in post-war Iraq as a failure. Bush and company ransack the house of Ahmad Chalabi, the convicted embezzler, con man, head of Iraqi National Congress, whom Bush paid millions of our tax dollars to feed us phony intelligence on those pesky W.M.D's (Weapons of Mass Destruction). Bush's incompetence reminds us of the Keystone Cops. President Bush fell off his bicycle Saturday, May 22, 2004. Dick Cheney has an uncanny resemblance to Lyndon LaRouche. Bush violated his oath of office – “I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Regarding 9/11 - Bush knew. Retired General Anthony Zinni said 'They've Screwed Up' Governor Howard Dean said "we have the power". According to a Newsweek magazine investigation, Bush, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld and Attorney General John Ashcroft, signed off on a secret system of detention and interrogation that opened the door to prisoner abuse in Iraq.

The Timken factory, that Bush touted for his tax cuts, closes, leaving 1,300 more Ohioans jobless - and the Canton, Ohio community is devastated. The Bush administration tried to curb Red Cross visits to Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. With Bush, the buck never stops, it just get passed.

His war on women's reproductive rights in the USA. He needs a new job. John Dean, former counsel to President Nixon, says the Bush Administration's secrecy and deception over the war with Iraq should result in impeachment. His budgets deliberately starve state and local governments. He is sending sick, injured and wounded soldiers back to Iraq long before they are ready to serve again. [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Bush joshed, "Those weapons of mass destruction have to be here somewhere," as he narrated a slide show, during the annual dinner of Washington radio and TV correspondents.[/font] Richard Clarke, Bush's former anti-terrorism advisor, who has served four presidents, a registered Republican in 2000, has accused President Bush of ignoring the threat of al-Qaeda before the September 11th attacks, and focussing on Iraq at the expense of his war against terrorism. Attorney General John Ashcroft proposed a reduction in counterterrorism funds one day before the 9/11 attacks. Before Sept. 11 dealing with terrorism was not one of the Justice Department's seven strategic goals. The White House slashed the FBI requested counterterrorism budget by two-thirds after Sept.11. Refuses to buy adequate body armor for our soldiers in Iraq. His idea of middle east peace is Armegeddon. Lied about additional funding for firefighters and other first responders.

Talks the religious talk but doesn't walk the religious walk. Yee! Hah! is not a foreign policy. His Executive Order # 13233 suppresses the release of presidential archives. Has difficulty understanding the separation of church and state. He traded away Sammy Sosa, when he ran the Texas Rangers baseball franchise. We "misunderestimated" how dangerous he really was. When he said Iraqi oil belongs to the Iraqi people, he actually meant giving no-bid contracts to Halliburton and other insider companies so the American oil companies will own the Iraqi oil fields. The remarkable amount of nepotism throughout the administration. He misled congress about "so-called" Medicare reform costs. In George, we do not trust. He is an embarrasment to a majority of America. He is more interested in looking good than in telling the truth. His dream is our American Nightmare. His nightmare is the peace, prosperity, freedom, and better days of the Clinton Era. We are not better off than we were four years ago. More children living in poverty as a result of his administration. Even the Pentagon is afraid of Global Warming. Never delivered promised money to NYC for 9/11damage. Acting in violation of Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty by developing new nuclear weapons. He is not presidential. He is not electable. Just plain because. He's even pissing off republicans.

He did not ask why not to vote for President Bush. He asked for a reason to vote for Kerry. :angry: :cuss: :angryfire :911: :usaflagwa o: :911:
Because you want to grow up to be JUST LIKE SMAX on the forum He is either jane Fonda, or James Carville. Or the dixie chicks, naww wait the dixie chicks cant cut and paste LOL can u say OWNED? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
1. Kerry realizes he can't pull out of Iraq but wants to bring in support from other major countries to relieve the effort. 2. Veitnam is important because it shows that he understands the frustration of fighting an unpopular war for all the wrong reasons. 3. He promises to cut taxes for the lower and middle class while rolling back those for the rich (read: rolling back isn't increasing the taxes on the precious rich). 4. Does not support outsourcing, especially to other countries (the idea of a man having to train his cheaper, out-of-country replacements doesn't upset anyone else?). 5. Two words: Larry David! Seriously, despite the fact that the "liberal media" likes to slam Kerry and fellow Democrats for star support, keep in mind that most of these stars tend to come from working class homes and weren't born rich, like Kerry (and someone else). 6. Health care and mental care are important issues that Kerry promises to deliver on by cutting down on waste (paper work, mostly) and making things more efficient. 7. Heinz is the best ketchup! Argue with that! Many people like to point out that Kerry is super rich but he and Clinton (who joked about being in the top 1% for the first time) insist that they don't need their tax break. Let's hear it for scarifies rich old white guys. 8. Looking for other sources energy and is not willing to be a slave to oil (everyone promises this one and I can't say for sure if he will deliver). 9. Despite not supporting gay marriage, he also is not willing to change the Constitution for the first time in order to take away rights from a minority and won't change the scared document for political purpose and playing on people's fears. 10. Stem cell research. He is not afraid of progress in order to help people that are suffering and could be walking with the aid of stem cells, that would be thrown out if not used anyway (actually, I might be referring to the embryos that would be thrown out..). 11. If he was truly courting John McCain as Vice President, doesn't that show that he is willing to compromise for what is right and is not the super liberal that people accuse him of being but a man that is willing to make a change for what is necessary and good. And if he has the most liberal voting record...how is he a flip flopper...you can't be both...maybe ignore the this...I guess it would be a Bush mention, huh?\ 12. Herman Munster is cool. Huh, huh, huh! I'm sure there are many more than twelve reasons to vote for Kerry (and much stronger ones than those that I have mentioned) without bringing up someone. So as a not so wise man once said, "Bring 'em on!"
