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.

My husband, who used to be Republican, then went Libertarian, and now, for the 1st time in his very active political life, will actually be voting for a Democrat had this to say:

"Republicans believe they are fighting a war of morality against the Left. They believe the Left is the undoing of society, will cause chaos, bring the second coming, etc, etc, etc. Even for those Republicans that aren't religious, fighting the Left is a moral war. That's why you hear them go on and on about the Left/Liberal media. That's why they can, in good conscience, slag off Kerry's war record when both of their candidates got easy assignments or deferrals from serving entirely. It's justified because this is a WAR."

Basically. That's not verbatim, but it's close.

What a great topic, though. I'm following it intently.
