Should I vote for George Bush or John Kerry in 2004? I am the only undecided person I know of relative to this question. The ideologues on either side have long ago made up their minds, but I have strong reservations about supporting either man.
I should begin by stating that republicans have the right politics on both taxation and gun control. At the same time, Bush is responsible for the poorly thought out occupation of Iraq and a huge budget deficit. Furthermore, by surrounding himself with rogues like Rumsfeld, Cheney, and Ashcroft his ?moral compass? is suspect.
Despite my disliking Bush, I cannot think of a single reason to vote for John Kerry. His selection of an ambulance chaser for a running mate turns me off, as does his lackluster record in the senate. His half-hearted investigation of the Iran-Contra scandal was a disservice to the country, and his support of legislation that attacks our second amendment makes him impossible to vote for.
So, what shall I do? I am tired of constantly voting for the lesser of two evils, but I will vote.
