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.

Bush's stance on abortion is why my mother-in-law is voting for him. My father-in-law will vote for Bush because he always picks the Republican candidate.

My mother, who has never voted in her life, finally registered to vote. I played dirty with her emotions, and scared her into voting for Kerry because of Bush's war politics and my brother being 18 - prime age for draft/ enlistment.

My grandmother is voting for a Democrat for the first time in her life. She's very anti-abortion, but she's more anti-war, having lived through WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. She says she thought Bush should've declared war on a country, not on an idea ("terrorism") and sees him as being the worst president in her lifetime.

Uh... don't know where I was going with this.
