undecided or just stupid
| Sat, 10-09-2004 - 4:03pm |
So all those people in the audience at the "Town Hall" debate were professed 'undecided voters'?
The woman who sat behind Bush wasn't acting very undecided! At all of Bush's answers she scowled and folded her arms in defiance...I think I even saw an eye roll or two.
I've only encountered a few "undecided" voters this election and they are all arrogant-know-it-all types who I think are just trying to look "oh-so-intelligent", like they are wanting everyone know how hard they were contemplating the issues! Give me a break.
If you are "undecided" at this point you are either:
a. stupid
b. not paying attention

If you're just going by Bush, do you know he's telling the truth? It's been shown Cheney lies, so why not Bush about Kerry's record? If Cheney lies about meeting Edwards it only makes me wonder. So unless there's proof to show me, personally, I'm going by now.
Your right, Bush is consistent. He consistently tells us we need to "stay the course" with Iraq,even though with each passing day we find how this course we are on is failing, he consistently tells us Sadam had WMD even though the CIA just came out with yet another report stating he did not have for over 10 years. The weapons inspectors confirmed this. He is extremely arrogant to the point where I find him frightening.
Hi
Miffy - Co-CL For The Politics Today Board
If you can honestly say that, then I can honestly say that you are more biased than you believe. Thats not a criticism of you, but anyone that can say that Kerry hasn't changed his position, in significant ways on some points either isn't really listening, or is willing to believe the way he and his campaign has managed to sping things. I'll give him one thing, he has been consistent in the way he has spun his postition on the war.
All I can say is wow too! You sound very angry.
On key votes, Kerry has voted lockstep 100% of the time with Senator Ted Kennedy in 2001,1999,1998,1993,1992,1989,1988,1987,1986, and 1985. (Roll call key votes, http//oncongress.cq.com, Dec. 2001)
Kerry has voted for at least SEVEN major reductions in Defense and Military spending necessary for our national security. (S.1438,rollcallvote#286, Sept.25,2001; S.1087,rollcallvote#397:sept.5,1995; S.1298,rollcallvote#251, Sept.9,1993; S.3114,rollcallvote#182,Aug.7,1992; S. 2399,rollcallvote#56, March 26,1992; H.R. 2707,rollcallvote#182, Sept.10,1991; S.1352,rollcallvote#148,June 27,1989)
In his Senate career, Kerry has voted against a balanced budget at least FIVE times.
(S.J.Res.1 rollcallvote#24, March 4,1997; H.J. Res.1 rollcallvote#158, June 6,1996; H.J. Res. 1 rollcallvote#98, March 2,1995; S.J. Res.41,rollcallvote#48, March 1,1994; S.J. Res.225,rollcallvote#45 March 25,1986)

Kerry voted AGAINST a ban on "partial birth abortions" (H.R. 1122 rollcallvote#227 Sept. 18,1998
Kerry voted AGAINST allowing vote to ban human cloning (S. 1601 rollcallvote#10 Feb. 11 1998)
Kerry voted AGAINST allowing a vote to create educational savings accounts (H.R. 2646 rollcallvote#288, Oct.30,1997)
*Americans for Democratic Action (liberal interest groups)gave Kerry a consistent rating of over 95 since 1986. In contrast, the American Conservative Union rated Kerry's voting record at an average of 5 (out of a possible 100) since 1986.
If this does not show a little about who the man is, I don't know what could. I find this to be a hell of a lot more telling about what kind of president he would be than what he says in a campaign debate!
And as for voting with Kennedy, yay!
Why would you repel people from reading your opinions with such disregard. How do you ever expect to gain support?
And to be fair, I've read similar comments about independants by Kerry supporters.
Who are you trying to convince, yourselves, or others that are new and truly want to make a difference by voting.
