A vote for Bush is a vote for intolerance
I dont support Kerry especially, he strikes me as a glad handed political opportunist, a natural conservative, with no moral values... but at least he is a popularist, and this will prevent him from doing certain things.
A lot of people think that by attacking Iraq and Afghanistan Bush has made America and the world safer - personally I dont, but that is a belief some people have. But lets talk about what we know Bush believes.
Bush wants to make abortion illegal, that is a factual statement - right now he is slowly working towards a position when he can do this.
Bush wants to deny gay people the same civil rights that straight people have - this is clearly a true statement, we know that Bush does not want gay people to be allowed to marry - he clearly see's gay's as second class citizens who are either incapable or deserving of the same recognition as straight people.
Bush believes in killing - he wants to extend the death penalty, he believes that it is right to tell our people "thou shalt not kill" - and those who do,,, well, kill them...
Bush is a president who has and will attack women's rights, who will legislate deliberately to discriminate against homosexuals, who has led America into a terribly destructive war with Iraq with no end in sight... how can it even be possible for the Republican Party to nominate him as their candidate?
A vote for Bush is a vote for prejudice, intolerance, small minded and closed minded policies that will exclude and persecute millions of Americans.
