Indulge me.

For those of you who are planning to vote for Bush in November, would you please tell me why? Preferably a reason a little more nuanced than "Kerry's an asshole"?

Note: You're not going to change my mind on this. If the past four years haven't changed my mind, a fifty-word comment sure as hell isn't going to do it.

I'm just trying to understand. Right now nothing scares me more than the thought of four more years of Bush, but I know there are people I like and respect who disagree for whatever reason, and I want to know why, so I can at least try to understand.

No flaming. If I'm too slammed to post my DragonCon pictures (coming soon!), I'm sure as hell too busy to play referee. Play nice, folks.

Thank you for this, Kelly. I've been sincerely trying to understand why thoughtful, honorable people would choose to vote for Bush, too. But while my family are Bush supporters, they are not thoughtful; it's no good asking them. The vast majority of my friends are either Democrats or (like me) democratic socialists, and can't really answer the question.

So I'm looking forward to this discussion. :-)
