Re: Kerry or Bush and why?
 

I am a car nut from Indiana. I have three cars, while I only need one, but, I "love" public transportation. A week ago today I returned from New York City, home of one of the few good urban transit systems in the US. It was great. You could get from our hotel to the site of the NYC regional in 10 minutes or so. You could get from the regional site to Times Square in maybe 15 minutes. It's efficient. You don't have to find a place to park a car, and you don't have to deal with traffic.

As far as Europe having public transportation because they have high gas prices, it is kind of the other way around. They have high gas taxes, and thus high gas prices, in part, to help subsidize public transit. The end result is, in many ways, a good thing. There are good alternatives to driving in all major cities, and there are good alternatives to driving between cities. It even makes driving more pleasant, because there is less traffic than there would be without good public transit.

I like cars, and I like driving, but I don't like driving in larges cities, and I don't like driving anywhere that you are stopped or creeping along in traffic most of the time. Good public transit is GOOD for car nuts.

Kerry all the way.

Re: Kerry or Bush and why?
 

Bush will go to Iraq AND the moon. Kerry will try to fight the natural laws of free enteprise. Nader wants to just change the whole thing.

In any case, we're screwed.

Re: Kerry or Bush and why?
 

Okay, I'll bite.

Bush wants to go to the moon......sure he does, but he wants to gut the funding for NASA while he's at it to pay for the former (Iraq) in your statement....

Most of Kerry's plan is reinstating Clinton era fiscal policies and trying to re-balance our budget, or close the gap some at least.

One other thing to note is to the people who think Bush isn't responsible at least in part for the economy: Why then is he supporting companies that are outsourcing decent pay jobs (service sector as well as manufacturing jobs) to other nations, causing the loss of many good jobs here?

Food for thought.

Re: Kerry or Bush and why?
 

Yeah but the same could be said for the liberals also. The liberals are probably more blatant about about it.
(sarcasm) I can fix that. Get rid of minimum wage, safety regulations, and almost every single government control on bussinesses. That will stop the shipping of jobs overseas.(end sarcasm) Note: No way am I advocating that though the above is the reason why companies ship jobs overseas. Probably tougher trade relations would fix the problem. Also trying to get better job standards in other countries would make it less profitable to ship jobs overseas. Though in someway forcing companies to stay here would be a disaster. And yet wants to spend 1.2 billion dollars on hydrogen fuel.
No a rise in unemployment does not neccesairly mean more people lost jobs. According to my economics teacher the unemployment rate only looks at people looking for jobs. It does count people not looking for one. The rise in the unemployment rate may mean more people reentered the workforce which in fact is a good sign. I know it is really confusing and I hated that class.

Re: Kerry or Bush and why?
 

I an for Kerry mostly caused I watched the animations on this website.

Re: Kerry or Bush and why?
 

If one article can change your mindset, i advise you to learn more and read more, do you believe everything you read? of course not. To make an educated vote would mean to read articles coming from both sides. Also did it occur to you that the article is an editorial? That means they can write whatever.

Re: Kerry or Bush and why?
 

Are you voting this year? because if you are voting for Kerry based on website animations i advise you to understand your candidate from more than just a few animations.

Re: Kerry or Bush and why?
 

agreed. i like speeding too!

Re: Kerry or Bush and why?
 

I'm crossing my fingers that the votes in this poll will be representative of this year's Presidential election.

But here's my motto for this year... "Let's not pull another Florida."

Even though I can't vote, I'll motivate all my 18 and older friends to get off their behinds and get to a poll.

Re: Kerry or Bush and why?
 

simply put.... Bush said "strategury"

Re: Kerry or Bush and why?
 

Even my conservative friends who are of age to vote are going for Kerry thanks to their many political debates with me. :D

BTW, I'm going for the Kerry-Edwards ticket.

Re: Kerry or Bush and why?
 

As Jay Lenno once said, this election we have a choice between a guy who's had second thoughts, and a guy who's never had a first thought. :D

Re: Kerry or Bush and why?
 

Oh that's funny, and its so true!

Re: Kerry or Bush and why?
 

Doubtful. It seems to me that there are quite a few more posters from the Eastern and North-Eastern part of America, which typically tends to side towards the democrats... no, I think this election will be another close one.
