No point in me re-writing everything again.

Yep, and I still disagree with you. I'm not going to vote for candidates that I don't agree with anymore.

I'm not here to preach whome you should vote for, I was just questioning why you were so strongly advocating voting for Bush. To be honest, I'm a VERY moderate Democrat... you can call me a Demolican, but I am pretty opposed to specific Bush views regarding War and Economics. These two topics just hapen to be the two topics I find most important given our current situation, so I will be voting for Kerry. However I do not vote based on party, and given different circumstances I may vote Republican if the views in which I shared with them were also what I found most important. (i.e. I voted for Arnold because I agreed with his views regarding our power crisis, the state budget, and immigration which I found to be the most important issues of the time.) I would reccomend reading up on what Kerry claims he will do, as voting against him without knowing isn't always the wisest thing. If nothing else, it will help you to know your "enemy" better.

It might not be time yet, but I think the DNC/GOP will continue to screw things up enough that the majority of people start looking for alternatives.

Okay, okay, you have a good point there and I see where you are coming from, and given the use of an Electoral College system, I suppose it won't do any harm in the short run. But if the day ever comes (heaven forbid) that the DNC is not so strong in California and you still chose to vote for the third party I will hunt you down.

Then we can agree to disagree. Luckily you live in a state where Bush will lose anyway.

LP will never have aenough support till you gain some sort of power shrug. Anyways, how does everyone hate US out of jealousy? Thats a bit nieve. Also its been pretty well stated that their is no connection of Bin Ladin and the rest of them and Iraq. If anything the war on Iraq has caused more people to hate us than ever before. So hence less safe because of Bushes actions.

Statements "now what? We are a super power." Exactly the wrong type of message we should be sending. Its like look at me im stronger than you so I'll do what I want. What you going to do about it?

I'll agree though that if we do go in the direction we are headed, we will be seeing more blood and death. Maybe your all for that but, like my life and like living. And would like a president that isn't just going to rush into war. Something I don't think Kerry would do.

And how does Kerry's service not stand up? Compard to who? Bush? You must be joking? Bush, didn't go to vietnam Kerry actually went and fought. So hold on here, your telling me a guy that actually got shot at and could of died doesn't compare to a guy that stayed in the US and is possible he skipped out for a bit while here? Surely, you must be joking mr robinson.

Olmek you said your old man never got any formal recognition. He should have gotten one of these:
If he didn't get one by some clerical error, you can contact the DoD and get him one.

I think so. The rest seems directed towards Zumn.
