Same rules as calavera pointed out in his post...

IE: Keep straight to the topic.. no name calling etc..

I'll go first...

Bush/

because for the most part he has done what he has said he was going to do.. other then that he is the best in my eye's to lead this country for another 4 yrs, for what we have on the ballots!!!

Two reasons:
1) I hate gun control, and the Democrats love it. I think that even the parts of the Constitution that you don't like (like the second amendment) are important.

2)I hate welfare. If you can't go get a job, then die. McDonalds is always hiring.

PS I don't like the idea of a UN bootlicker as my president either.

National security (Bush superior).

Economy (Bush tax cuts have led to robust recovery).

What Calavera and Double D said.

Dems didn't and don't have anything viable to offer.

It has been said above:
1. Decisive
2. Stands up for USA and will not let France or any other country dictate what America can and cannot do.
3. Honest
4. Has an Administration that has gone after the White Collar Criminals rather than granting pardons to them!
5. Will not let the UN tell USA when to protect its interest and when not to do so!
6. Believes in a strong military.

Preface- I have not decided if I will vote for Kerry or write in another name.

The reason I won't vote for Bush:

He focused money/time/resources on Iraq that should have been focused on Al Quaeda.

Unnecessarily alienated current allies and possible future allies.

I do not agree with his economic policies.

I believe his adminstration is corrupted by big business

I believe Rumsfeld is a war-monger

There are other reason's. These are just a few.

I agree with uncleeb here.
Also, I might add. Wants to be our antiterrorism president. But.
He fought against formation of the 9-11 commission. Fought agaist having to testify before said commission. Fought against releasing relevant documents to the 9-11 commission. Now that they have listed their recomendations, wants to pay lipservice to their findings, for political gain, rather than use their findings to protect the US against future attack. Instead opting to add to the government a "figurehead" position, with no real power. That is not very conservative.
The Patriot Act.
Blindly using his power to invade Iraq, when there are much more deserving targets, Like Pakistan, where alot of AlQueda is hiding, or Iran, where the rest of them are being protected by the Mullahs, and is also thumbing their nose at the world, with their REAL nuclear weapons program.
He has sold out the country to corparate sponsers.
I met ****** Chaney the other day. When I shook his hand, it was week, and he looked at me like I owed him money. Another strike against this ticket. I initialy voted for Bush/ Chaney because of respect for Chaney, and a strong dislike for Gore. But with my impression of Chaney, from meeting him, I have lost all respect for ****** Chaney, yes his Name is fitting.
I will have to do some more thinking before I complete this diatribe, but I believe that my position is clear. Do I want to vote for Kerry??? NO, but I feel that I do not have a viable choice, for a replacement of or current administration.
Later

P.S. I should have a few more pages to post, on this subject, but I have to go to my physical Therapist, and am short of time.

Aha, aha, hmmmmmm, that's right, yeah, aha, oh yeah, muy bueno...

Well, after careful consideration I have to agree with Uncleb and Homebrew. They win. Case closed.

Too bad, but somebody's got to lose. Mebbe next time (4 years)?

Most important to me: National Security.

In this regard I want the administration to remain the same.

My points are similar to the good uncle....

My strongest reasons are the way he implimented the tax cuts "to stimulate the economy." I do not have an issue that most of the cuts were to corporations and the rich as tax cuts to them will pour money quicker into the economy. My issue is he didn't tie the cuts into spending thereby fueling job creation.

My 2 cents.

I've got to support the troops so Bush has to go.
I've got to respect the man in charge so Bush has to go.
I'd want a President and VP without criminal records so Bush has to go.
I want somebody who can say the word "Nuclear" with his finger on the button so Bush has to go.
I feel sorry for the 1.1 million people who have lost their jobs (2.6 million lost, 1.5 million gain = net 1.1 million lost) so Bush has to go.
The environment.
Credibility
Mission not accomplished
Osama bin Laden ....he's still running around right?
Against the 9/11 commission and then flip flops.
Leaking names of CIA agents.

I guess that's enough for now.
