I see that this forum has turned to abortion once again. In case some of you missed the news flash, John Kerry is Catholic. I think the cahtolic voters want a catholic president. drmiller, you are ignorant. Don't argue with Gideon when you are wrong and you know you are wrong and the whole world knows you are wrong.

According to your answers, your political philosophy is: centrist Centrist Centrists favor selective government intervention and emphasize what they commonly describe as "practical solutions" to current problems. They tend to keep an open mind on political issues. Many centrists feel that government serves as a check on excessive liberty. Your Personal issues Score is 80%.

Sandy, Good question. Probably not, as i am a dyed in the wool libertarianl but I would be far more likely to support him than Kerry, though. I agree, sadly. I would have perfered Dean, though when left with the choice of Bush or Kerry I think I would have to vote for Kerry.

Clinton is giving Kerry some much needed advice. From his hospital bed he may help kerry win this election like the American Public needs. Thanks to Bill Clinton.

I think the anti-cuba legislation in this country needs to be dropped. Frankly, it is hurting us as much as it is hurting them. It will help our economy to allow cubans to buy products from us. They have millions of additional people that haven't been able to buy our products since the 70's. We trade with china, why not cuba? Castro will eventually die, and then a democracy would be possibly instituted by their people. But if they don't want a capitali

I think that two things need to be done. First, you will notice with the Russian terrorism recently, that is one again coming from a radical muslim group. I think the reason for this is first of all they interpret their religion to reward them for such hanus actions. Second of all, I think that they don't want us or other countries interfering with their business. We have a huger presence in the middle east. I think that needs to be changed. We should

Gideon as I have said before, do what you feel is right. I was never trying to convince you to vote for another party, I was just trying to understand your reasoning for voting for a third party candidate. I see that you dislike bush and kerry's policies just as much, and in that case then it makes sense to vote for whomever you like best.

I would say if anyone's going to be voted in by default, it should be someone who's actually on the ballot in all 50 states (which would exclude Nader from consideration). Lol. <TD class="mb-Body-Q

USA Today reported that it is possible for the electoral college votes to tie this year for the presidential election, with both candidates getting 269 votes. If every state stays the same color except for New Hampshire and West Virginia, in which Kerry is competitive, then the electoral college will tie for only the second time ever. That would be HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE.

Gideon, if you think that Bush and Kerry will be equally bad in office, then go ahead and vote for another party. But if you like one more than the other, even if you still like a third party better, I think it quite a reasonable arguemnt that if you were to vote for the best candidate who doesn't have a choice vs. the better candidate who has a choice then you really have cut off your own nose to spite your face.

Sandy, This is the most fallacious and misinformed argument. I am incensed that you would play into the political browbeating that tells people who don't believe in Bush or Kerry to stay home (which is EXACTLY the implications of that statement). The fact that you would try to twist my arm by ridiculing my position into v

Getting Bush out of office does no good unless we replace him with someone with a vision. Kerry ain't it. Hes much better than Bush, and despite your libertarian leanings a vote for a third party is a wasted vote.

Bush may not be stupid, but his economic policies, like those of reagan, are. I find it humorous that one can possibly give accolades to bush for his tax cuts and other fiscally disasterous moves.
