Voting for Bush this year is a serious character flaw.

[NightTrain]

Do you agree?

1. If you saw the bushbot that works in my office, you wouldn't

have to ask that question.

Every stereotype you might attach to a female bushbot fits. Contemplate THAT for a moment.

I have to work with her everyday. :puke:

[finecraft]

2. Absolutely. It never ceases to amaze me

how otherwise intelligent people are so fervently Republican. I accepted the character flaw reasoning some time ago.

3. Bush Supporter = Hi, I'm an uniformed, lazy putz or Jesus made me do it

I've dealt with them and it's either they hve no idea what is really going on or they are single-issue anti-choice people. Oh, and for the war...

9. I think you are right, unfortunately.

I try hard to be understanding of people who vote for BushCo, but so far, they all fit into one of the above camps.

Lazy, stupid, and greedy or religious fanatics brainwashed into believing that W is the second coming.

I've dropped some friends over it.

The sad thing is that the brainwashed millions feel the same about us! Since they believe all the lies told by BushCo, they think anybody supporting Kerry must be a communist anarchist atheist wild-eyed cowardly blithering idiot. Oh, and a traitor.

Yep, W did an awesome job uniting the country!

4. Only if you remove the words "this year" from the title.

5. Even contemplating voting for the

chimp is a sign of insanity. No one in their right mind would vote for such a braindead moron for any office - never mind Pres. of the U.S. He is such a goddamned embarrassment.

6. seems that about half the voting public is really stupid . . .

unless they're millionaires, voting for Bush is voting against their own best interests . . . never ceases to amaze me that when they hear something from a Republican, they'll believe it despite voluminous evidence to the contrary . . . dumb, dumb, dumb . . . and dumber . . .

I have no sympathy for these morons . . . if Bush is elected, they deserve what they're going to get . . . unfortunately, the rest of us will get it, too . . .

13. If America was a "half-wit" they would kick Bush out.

It only takes 50% of the popular vote for one candidate to win. If Bush wins, America is less than a half-wit. (by a wit).

7. i do. two people i have talked bush, my father i respect

and love so much and a friend up the street last week. both of them, i have sat in such a feel of disgust with who they are. that they, people of integrity, refuse to allow themselves to see cause they arent willing for their little ole black and white world be topsy turvy.

i cant look friend in eyes, dont want to be around her anymore, and my father, same, dont want to be around

maybe after the battle fgeeling wont be so strong regardless what direction that goes. but difinately i do see it as a character flaw. i see it as a dishonesty. for anyone to buy into the vet lie, to not know more over the poverty line, loss of healthcare, the destruction of our school, and yet still willing to vote for this man

see with father i think these are your grandkids i am raising, you have a responsibility to them

so i say yes i agree with you

8. ...sign of halitosis, indication of mental fatigue, evidence of criminal

intent, another example of the dangers of fetal alcohol syndrome, the result of cross-species eugenics experiments.

Voting for Bush is a symptom of degenerative, congenital, and acute stupidity. A terminal illness. Sometimes responsive to penacillin.

[roguevalley]

10. yes, Janeane Garafalo said that on the daily show. :)

[Piperay]

11. YES...

12. Voting for Bush is a clear symptom of mental illness.

14. For Middle Class and Veterans It's Like Shooting Yourself

Triple amputee and Vietnam hero Max Cleland sat in his wheelchair in the broiling hot Texas sun waiting for George W. Bush to do the right thing. In his hand was a letter signed by 9 US Senators, all war heroes, entreating the President to specifically ask the swift (sieve) boat vets to cease their campaign of smear and smut.

This was no “stunt,” but a valid appeal against an unprecedented campaign of character assassination designed to distract the American people from the real issues. George W. Bush hid, as he always has, whether from military duty in Vietnam or from discussing his record of a failing economy, environmental desecration, rape of the middle class, social unrest, and of course IraqNam. Never has a President done so badly and fooled so many so easily.

A transcript of Kerry’s 1971 testimony proves that the attack ads are misleading: Kerry relates only hearsay recollections; he blames the nature of war and the country and not the soldiers for any atrocities; he decries search and destroy tactics and free fire zones; and he opposes continuation of an unwinnable and morally questionable war. It never was about "honor;" it has always been about truth and realistic and intelligent policy.

Another truth is if there had been more like John Kerry, there would be fewer names engraved on the Vietnam Wall. If attempting to stop the needless slaughter of American lives is “treason,” then cowardice and hypocrisy are virtues and genocide is charity.

Tragically, many Vietnam veterans were treated despicably and humiliated after returning from Vietnam. Those shameful events rather than John Kerry are the likely cause of their pain. America and not John Kerry owes them much more than an apology.

However, if a veteran simply cannot vote for John Kerry, then that decision should be respected. But for a veteran (or member of the middle class) to emotionally vote for someone like Bush with his resume of cowardice and dossier of veteran bashing policies, that is to administer a truly "self-inflicted wound."
